ISTE Annual Conference and Exposition

NSTA Strands

Thousands of science educators interested in learning more about using technology in education and the ease of using web-based tools to communicate and collaborate attend the ISTE Annual Conference and Exposition. Working with ISTE, each year NSTA develops a series of lectures and poster session as part of a Strand.

• NSTA Strand: Professional Learning Networks to Motivate Teacher Learning, San Antonio, TX, 2013

• NSTA Mobile Learning to Support Science Education, San Diego, CA, 2012
• NSTA Innovative Learning Technologies Strand, Philadelphia, PA, 2011
• Inaugural NSTA Science Education Technology Strand, Denver, CO, 2010

NSTA is keenly aware, sensitive to and in favor of the appropriate uses of technology and inquiry-based approaches in support of teaching and learning science. Below are several links and documents that support the strand at the ISTE conference:
