Wrapping Up ISTE Live recap of day four.

Welcome to our recap of ISTELive22 day four! If you haven’t read our day one, two, and three recaps, check them out. Today we will wrap up our conference coverage and the key themes and messages on the expo floor, concurrent sessions, and mainstage presentations. 

Leading with Joy

On the main stage of day one, Richard Culatta, CEO of ISTE, challenged attendees to “‘spend some time thinking about what brings you joy.” This set an amazing standard for the entire conference. From the excellent conversations this spurred to the other speakers that built off of Culatta’s message, the entire conference was a celebration of joy in education technology.

Tools For Creativity

On day two of the conference, we heard from several students and thought leaders on the topic of creativity. We learned how creativity is at the root of education and edtech and how learning is a lifelong process.

Philosophy For The Future

On day three, we explored a philosophical approach to education, discourse, and politics centered on respect.

Putting Educators First

Finally, on the closing main stage, we heard from educators. The speeches from Annelise Cassar Tedesco, Spencer Kiper, and Juliana Urtubey reminded us that teachers and administrators are the beating heart of the edtech industry.

Thank you for joining us for our live coverage of ISTELive. This year was truly a special celebration of the education industry and a great starting point to reconnect after two years of remote conferences. Until next year, have a great summer!
