What's Tweeting at ISTE 2012
The 33rd annual conference of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) kicked off yesterday in San Diego, where thousands of educators from around the world have convened for the next three days to talk about the impact of technology in schools.
Enthusiasm ran high on the first day, as dozens of teachers, technology staff, and administrators took to Twitter (#iste12) to get the conversation going. Here’s a short roundup of some of the best comments so far.
I have yet to have a student tell me they can't use technology in class because they haven't received any PD on it. #ISTE12

Not able to go to #iste12 or #ala12 this year. So bummed-have noticed the #iste12 tweets seem more energetic/excited than the #ala12 ones.
