In this episode, I sit down with Brittany Blackwell while at ISTE 2024 to unpack… ISTE 2024! This was her first time attending an ISTE conference so what better way to unpack it than with a first timer. She is the host of The Resilient Teacher Podcast so we decided to do an episode swap. This is a great conversation for anyone who attended or didn't attend ISTE. If you didn't attend, this will give you some insight as to what was covered, the good, and our overall thoughts. If you attended ISTE, you couldn't do it all! This will hopefully fill in some gaps for you. If you've never attended but are planning to attend in 2025, we give you some tips to prepare for your first time. Needless to say, there's something for everyone in this episode. Buen provecho!
