ISTE 2012
ISTE’s thirty third annual conference and exposition was
in San Diego, California from Jun 24-27. Basically, the event discovered how
educators from everywhere in the world are using great technologies to help
students develop their horizons. In addition, It included 300 model lessons,
BYOD (bring your own device) sessions, lectures, and panels 135 hands-on and
seminar-demo workshops ,500 exhibiting companies, agencies, and organizations 400
informal and interactive learning activities. Furthermore, all the programs
were well prepared and useful to everyone who wanted to expand and explore the
professional learning and networks.
Honestly, I could not manage all of the opportunities that were offered even in four days because there were so much going on at the same time. I tried as much as I could to attend a few sessions and workshops which were related to my studies, and they were very supportive. For example, some of the sessions and the workshops I attended were “What’s next in Interactive Video?”, “Multimedia Poetry Slam”, and “Programs for International Student Assessment PISA.” Also, I volunteered for three hours long with the Technical Support in the last day. In simple words, I helped people who wanted to print some paperwork or any other documents. I gave directions for the meeting rooms when needed, and I helped who had some problems with his/her iPad or computer.
Lastly, I would thank the Ministry of Higher Education and The Culture Mission to The U.S.A for giving me this great opportunity to explore, expand, and achieve powerful tools from educators around the world.
