DENVER, June 28 /PRNewswire/ — Educators make up the majority of the membership of the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE®), but students were a primary focus at the education technology conference and exposition ISTE 2010. The initiatives geared toward students included a program with The Denver Post in which a group of young journalists served as special correspondents for the newspaper and also contributed to The Daily Leader, ISTE’s newspaper published throughout the conference, and the ISTE Connects blog.
ISTE 2010 attracted other groups of students who attended and participated in an array of different hands-on activities, including a group of students involved in the robotic arena.
“Robotics is a hands-on, tangible science that teaches students how to be part of a team and solve theoretical problems,” said Vignesn Muralidharan, recent graduate of Fairview High School in Boulder, Colo. “In school, you work solo, but with robotics, you work as a team.”
Along with speakers, workshops and discussions, the conference pushed new boundaries in social media, virtual learning environments and other exciting new forums for K-12 classrooms.
