I just spent the past 3.5 days at the most populated ed. tech. conference in the world. I walked past dozens of people with allergies, colds, weird quirks in their walking patterns, loud talkers, interesting smells, accents, alternative interpretations of common slang.

ISTE 2016.

I don't know why I just told you all of that. People are people. We smell, we talk, we sneeze. At the end of the day, however, we all BELIEVE in something. I common goal, which happens to be the learning and empowerment of students. Whoops, I forgot the hashtag!

Many minds coming together to talk about digital integration and purposeful design in the use of technology in the classroom.

Last night, I facilitated a workshop on managing the technology setup in your classroom and seriously feeling empowered to learn and reach for better solutions, stronger setups and resilient relationships with those that support you. It was really fun and interesting to learn how technology fits into your daily process (as teachers and admin) and the opportunities we all have to make the technology integration process even SMOOTHER.

Ther is so much HEART here. So many people working incredibly hard to support, enrich and empower their students in every way possible. Technology has become such an essential part of this learning experience. AND, it has been great exploring DENVER, CO. The food, drinks and laughs have been incredible. Thank you to everyone supporting this conference, and I know that I have grown so much from this experience!
