Earlier this week 16,000 educators converged on Denver for ISTE 2016, the International Society for Technology in Education’s (ISTE) annual conference. Educators, education technology companies, and education gurus discussed best practices in ed tech, trends, and new technologies.
Attendees, presenters, and exhibitors also took to Twitter to share what they were learning and announce new products by using #ISTE2016. Here’s a roundup of some of the top tweets from the conference:
