2. Why do I, and over 20,000 of the best and brightest educators from
around the world travel to ISTE each year?
Is it the new tools and strategies, the chance to attending great
sessions that improve our practice, or finally meeting our “internet
friends”, taking selfless and proving to our families they are real?

3. But wait, there is more!
Yes. Yes. And Yes!

4. There were so many
moments that took my
breath away.
Moments that made my
laugh, made me cry,
made me proud.
Moments that reminded
me why I do this work.
Moments that I will always
treasure and cherish.
These are what I call
W.O.W moments; so
Worthy of the World,
they must be shared!
