We are going with an ISTE themed post this week in the blog series – Chad’s Choices from the Community. Everything below – from the people I saw in San Antonio to the posts/tweets about the conference – is related to ISTE, the huge edtech conference that wrapped up yesterday.  If you missed other posts in the Chad’s Choices series, you can find them here. Without further ado, take a look below at what the community is sharing about ISTE.
