This is my second year of participating in #NotAtISTE. I learned so many new things last year and made lasting connections with several great educators. I am thankful for this opportunity to learn from afar. I rely a lot on Voxer for learning and sharing ideas because it is something I can use on the go. I am looking forward to watching and chatting with others during the TeacherCast broadcasts each morning and using Periscope to watch ISTE presentations live. I’m also looking forward to connecting long-term with inspiring educators!

What are you excited to explore further at ISTE conference over the coming days?

I am looking forward to seeing how teachers and students are learning through technology. Additionally, I want to put faces to the products that I use in my classroom.

I am excited about learning some great technology integration ideas and connecting with plenty of educators from around the world. #ISTE2015

This was such a neat way to do this and will reach others not as comfortable with voxer and google plus.

I’ve loved the experience this year of communicating on the Twitters, in the G+ community, the conversations we have had on Voxer. Thanks to Jennifer Wagner for helping to put this community together and to all those chip in to make this experience wonderful.

I’m looking forward to continuing this learning along with our PLN. Connect with me @craigyen

Love seeing our PLN learning and growing together. Looking forward to finding a way to attend this wonderful conference someday. Hoping for #iste2016 in Denver.

For the past 2 years, I’ve participated in the #NotatISTE group that Jen Wagner set up (so brilliantly), and it has been an amazing experience! My family just knows that I’m going to be out of circulation most of this week! They’ve lived this before!

I think that I get as much connection and professional development here in my office at home as i would if I were actually attending. Yesterday I watched the keynote through Periscope while tweeting with my PLN and keeping in touch with them in Voxer–although it took me until midnight to catch up with it all! I had 4-5 screens up for much of the day!

Last year, my major takeaway was Voxer, and the group chat that originated at #NotatISTE remained connected all year long! This year, the exciting tool that I’m discovering is Periscope–it has been amazing! It’s allowed all of us #notatiste15 to hear the Ignite sessions, the poster sessions and the keynote! Because we’re all connected on other platforms, the discussion is possible too. Really fabulous!

Through collaborating with folks at #notatISTE15 and the Voxer group #NotatISTE it has been an outstanding opportunity. This experience has confirmed the power of technology and the importance it plays in a 21st century classroom.

Through pericscope, I am virtually able to attend ISTE15 through my living room….wow! This is an example of technology providing opportunities that would not be provided a year ago. Global connections and interactions for authentic learning. The world truly is at our fingertips. Who can ask for anything more?

Looking forward to the learning journey to continue today at ISTE15!

I’m currently participating remotely at ISTE 2015 as part of the #NotAtISTE15 community.

Key highlights so far have been interacting with the #NotAtISTE15 community via the Google + Community, Voxer and Twitter.

The biggest highlight has been able to watch Periscope from sessions and events at ISTE. This has allowed the #NotAtISTE15 community to watch what is happening and then discuss it amongst the community using Twitter and Voxer.
