= Bringing It Home: ISTE 2010 =

Welcome to our workshop which focuses on the some of the learning we took away from this year's ISTE 2010 Conference that was held in Denver, CO.

Using online resources chosen by conference attendees, participants in this class will engage with presentations, ideas, and news from the cutting edge. ISTE is the world’s largest education conference focused on technology. ISTE 2010 this past June housed one of the most amazing line-ups of presenters and vendor displays for educational technology ever assembled.
