My #ISTE2015 Topic List

Going back over my notes and Tweets during the recent ISTE Conference in Philadelphia, I highlighted a list of key learning terms that are changing the face of K-12 education and, to the extent they are finding their way into schools, are finally moving us forward:

• Unlearning
• Maker education (or simply maker ed)
• Maker spaces
• Culture of making
• Design thinking and learning
• Connected learning (for both the kids and the adults)
• Global learning
• Learning through creation versus consumption
• Future ready
• SAMR
• STEM and STEAM
• Coding
• Online professional learning using social networking (e.g., Tweet of the Day)
• Writing and publishing
• Genius Hour (for both kids and the adults)
• Putting technology in students' hands:
• leveler
• door opener
• deeper learning
• adjacent possibilities
• student voice
• agency
• social justice
• passion
• digital citizen
• digital leader
• Learning is still based on relationships
