San Antonio, TX
ISTE Unplugged is a series of independent events that take place in, around, and with the support of the annual ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) conference: "The world's premier educational technology event (formerly the National Educational Computing Conference, NECC). Each year nearly 20,000 enthusiastic ed tech professionals and corporate representatives from around the globe unite for five days of professional learning, collaboration, and hands-on demonstration of the best new technologies for the classroom, school, or district."
And each year hundreds of educators interested in social media, technology, teaching, and learning will build and participate in "unplugged"-style activities as a part of their ISTE experience. All of these events are free, so come join us (you do need to be registered for ISTE for all activities except SocialEdCon and the after-party, which are open to anyone)! And a HUGE thanks to ISTE for making this all possible!
Saturday, June 22rd - HACK EDUCATION: Audrey Watters of Hack Education co-chairs our all-day flagship event this year, as we yet again rebrand our "unconference" on teaching and learning (originally EduBloggerCon and called SocialEdCon last year). In our seventh year, this event typically draws 200 - 300 participants from around the world. We start by building a session schedule together and then spend the rest of the day in engaged conversations around amazing topics. More information and sign-up page.
Saturday, June 22nd Evening - AFTER PARTY!: After a banner inaugural partner last year, we'll again have an unconference "After Party" from 7 - 9pm. More details to come, and don't miss this! More Information and signup page.
Sunday, June 23rd Afternoon - GLOBAL EDUCATION SUMMIT: Another return event, the Global Ed Summit is a 3-hour mini-conference organized by Lucy Gray and Steve Hargadon for those interested in globally-connecting students and teachers, and a physical followup to the hugely popular online Global Education Conference. More Information.
Monday, June 24 - EdTechWomen at ISTE 2013: For the first time at ISTE, EdTechWomen will be hosting a dinner and community networking event for women and their supporters in education technology. The mission of EdTechWomen is to connect women across sub-industries and to leverage women's influence in education, now and for the future. More Information.
Monday, June 24 - Wednesday, June 26th - THE BLOGGERS' CAFE: Also in it's seventh year now, the Bloggers' Cafe is an informal, couch-chairs-floor gathering area in the conference center for bloggers, social media mavens, and anyone else who wants to find and connect with others. A beehive of constant activity and conversation, the Bloggers' Cafe makes it hard to go do anything else once you discover it. More Information.
Monday, June 24 - Wednesday, June 26th - UNPLUGGED KEYNOTES: Still in planning stages, this year we are planning a pre-dinner set of short keynotes by an exceptional number of folks who've strangely never been asked to keynote the actual ISTE conference. Get ready!
For those paying close attention, we will not be holding the ISTE LIVE sessions this year because of space constraints.
