ISTE 2011 - Philadelphia, Here We Come!

This year's ISTE Conference (formerly known as NECC) will be meeting June 26-29, 2011 at the Pennsylvania Convention Center in Philadelphia. Once again, we will be facilitating a meet up of educators in Jewish settings - we're going on our 11th year of meeting up at ISTE/NECC!

Please indicate your interest and share ideas for the meet up on the ISTE Conference ning site Birds of a Feather section here.

And be sure to register for the ISTE Conference by March 31 for the super early bird rates; if you haven't booked your hotel yet, be aware that rooms go like hotcakes, so plan accordingly :) Details on the conference can be found here: http://www.isteconference.org/ISTE/2011

Hoping to see you in Philly!

Comment by Diane Zimmerman on April 13, 2011 at 7:09am: With the opening of the National Museum of American Jewish History in Philly, there are so many ways to connect American History to Jewish history. The museum is only one stopping place. Techies, while at this conference, - how about creating a digital scavenger hunt connecting famous American History sites in Philly to Jewish life in the early days of American History? Perhaps this could be shared with the educators at the museum, and available for all who bring students to Philly? What other techie ideas do you have? How might a field trip to Philly (for our Jewish students) be enriched with the use of technology? Please create! I brought my 6th graders there two weeks ago, and plan to do so again next year.

I LOVE this idea... wheels are spinning. Thanks for suggesting it! Will you be at ISTE? Anyone interested in following up with this?

Wishing everyone a chag kasher v'sameach!
