Sad ISTE 2010 is over? Us too!

After the fun filled adventure of learning and educational technology, we left Denver, Colorado with new ideas, new friends, and a reserved booth for ISTE 2011 in Philadelphia, Pennsylvania. The convention had a great turnout and we were able to meet some wonderful individuals from schools all over the place.

Following #iste10 via Twitter brought the conference to a completely new level. Check out some of the best quotes from ISTE 2010: Best #iste10 Tweets

Did you make it to the Exhibit Hall this year? The best way I heard it described as was two words, “organized chaos!” It was definitely a site to see. We would like to thank everyone who stopped by the Schoology Booth (Booth 1970) in the Exhibit Hall. For those who could not join us this year here is a little taste of Schoology at ISTE 2010…

Thank you to all of the ISTE2010 goers who RSVP’ed to our Event…

The ISTE 2010 Conference has been amazing this year. One of the best parts of the conference was being able to follow everyone on Twitter. There was no need for a cell phone. All you had to do was tweet where you were and an entire room would be filled with those ready to learn. Even those who could not make it to Denver were able to experience the magic of educational technology through social media. It was great to practice what we preach.

I thought it would be fun to pick some of my favorite tweets from #ISTE10 and share them with you all. Many of them are thought provoking and are great quotes to show the extent of how well this social medium has been used. I also encourage you all to add your own favorite tweets below!

Have you made the list?

Enjoy!

With so many giveaways, you may want to consider bringing an extra suitcase.

We are pleased to announce that IPEVO will be sponsoring an additional giveaway for Schoology at the ISTE 2010 Conference in Denver, Colorado.

IPEVO has provided us with four (4) of their IPEVO Point 2 View USB Document Cams to give away. These cameras are great for anyone with a computer.

Does Schoology like the IPEVO Point 2 View USB Document Cams?

Yes! We have been trying out ours in the office and cannot get over how clear the picture comes in on the screen. After popping in the installation CD, all we had to do was connect the camera via USB and we instantly had a picture. The auto focus feature guarantees a clear picture and works regardless of how far you zoom. The best quality of the camera is the size. It is very portable and fits in a bag without a problem.

How could this camera benefit those in the classroom?

We see teachers using this camera for teaching lessons in front of the classroom. Students sitting in the back of the class will not have to pretend…

The rumors are true, Schoology will attending ISTE 2010 Conference in Denver June 27- June 30 and they’re bringing prizes too.
