- Top two corporate sponsors were interactive whiteboard companies. Evidence that classroom technology (versus computer or distance learning) is hot right now.
- Mobile technologies were not very evident. More talk than walk. It will be interesting to see what the next year brings as there was plenty of talk.
- Several reports floating around cited an increase in online learning for high school students.
- Most talked-about technology was the iPad. You could witness small groups of people clustered around an iPad oohing and aahing.
- More international participation. I was amazed to see attendees from all over the globe. Evidence that we really are becoming a global community.
Tech conferences are a great way to get a pulse on the educational technology industry. They are good for networking and making new friends too. Share you experience at ISTE or other recent conference.
