ISTE 2022 TAKEAWAYS
ISTE is always one of our favorite events of the year, and ISTELive 22 was no exception.
We were thrilled to see so many new and familiar faces in New Orleans at our booth, and for those joining our sessions virtually. A big thank you to everyone who came to say hello, especially those who helped find our missing sheepicorns around the convention center. We can’t wait to see what excitement ISTELive 23 brings, but in the meantime, here are some ISTELive 22 takeaways for you to enjoy.
This year’s theme was “Empowering Educators, Elevating Equity.” Here are some quotes that tied in with the theme and others that we loved.

“To achieve success, students need strategies that actually work, and the best way is to speak about things that they’re already doing, but try to connect it back to the content.” @JorgeDoesPBL #ISTELive #ISTEambassador

Not necessarily something I learned but my favorite quote of the day: "There are two types of people in education, teachers and those that support teachers." As an EdTech Leader, I find this SO TRUE! 😁

Ethical monitoring and digital citizenship
We had a lot of good conversations about ethical monitoring practices and how that builds digital citizenship in learners. We can’t wait to continue this conversation throughout the 22-23 school year!
Evolution of monitoring
At ISTE, educators from all over used our chart and infographic below to determine if they fell into locked-down learning, hand-held learning, structured learning, semi-independent learning or independent learning, based on their approach to using monitoring tools in the classroom.
Where do you fall in the evolution of monitoring?
