#NotAtISTE – How I Plan to Attend ISTE 2014 Virtually.

The International Society for Technology in Education conference – an annual event that brings together educators and education leaders on a common platform to explore and exchange ideas about technology in education.

Thousands of teachers from across the world will be heading to Atlanta this weekend for the 2014 edition of the ISTE conference. Unfortunately, I am too far and cannot be there and join that wonderful melting pot of ideas. But if people who are actually present at the conference escape to a café or bookstore to watch the keynote and follow the activity virtually, I think I should be able to attend the conference from where I am!

So here’s how I plan to attend the conference virtually:

1. Set up a folder in Google Drive for the notes I will take during the virtual conferences.
2. Follow the #ISTE2014 hashtag on Twitter to get resources & ideas and also meet some great new educators from around the world.
3. Follow all Pinterest boards, Flipboard magazines and blogs that cover the conference.
4. Aggregate all the new tools and resources I discover in a new Theme, ready to explore & use through the year.

Are you attending the 2014 ISTE conference? Do you have a plan for what events you are attending and how you will organize, use and re-share all the new things you’ve learnt?

Here’s a Theme with some quick facts and great tips to make the most of ISTE 2014.
