ISTE 2012 Expanding Horizons

The kickoff to the ISTE 2012 conference highlighted building networks and connections with like-minded colleagues. Shortly after, I joined the tweet up, and within minutes was greeted and added to over a dozen different twitter using educators groups. While the message of expanding your PLN may be an old one for the early adopters; I could see the importance of the message to the 20,000 teachers attending the conference.
The keynote, featuring Sir Ken Robinson drew an enormous crowd! The overflow overflowed! This speaks volumes to the importance of technology, education, educators and their commitment to improving learning on all levels.
Expanding Horizons is not just about personal professional growth, it is about making the change to a more creative and engaging learning environment for students. Technology has reached a point where we can start making HUGE changes toward this goal.
