International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Conference

International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) Conference

TECHNOLOGY IN EDUCATION COLORADO, INC. (TIE) is a Colorado-based organization founded in 1986 by a group of teachers with a vision to host a conference focusing on the increasing role technology plays in education. Its major objective is to organize a four-day, hands-on technology focused conference each summer that models and promotes the use of technology integration in the classroom.

Last year’s conference featured 100+ different workshops, featured speaker sessions and roundtables with more than 170 different presenters and co-presenters, mostly classroom teachers. This year TIE is cooperating with the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) to offer a much bigger conference.

Now in its 31st year, ISTE's Annual Conference & Exposition features an amazing array of professional learning and collaborative networking opportunities. As part of your conference registration, you can choose from more than 600 sessions—formal sessions and hands-on labs, traditional and student poster presentations, Birds-of-a-Feather discussions, and themed lounges and playgrounds. And three inspirational keynotes!

The 2010 ISTE Conference will be held June 27-30 right across the street at the Colorado Convention Center. For us, this is a great opportunity. In addition, the TIE organization has arranged for Colorado attendees to register for the entire conference for only $210…PLUS, we will each get a one-year ISTE membership ($89 value) FREE!!
