1. ISTE - WHY EDUCATORS SHOULD JOIN Heidi Snead - EDUC630 PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT:
2. The International Society for Technology in Education began nearly 40 years ago with a dream to turn "What if...?", into what is now one of the largest professional educator's organizations in the world. ISTE: WHAT IS IT?
3. The work at ISTE is "supported by three pillars: A community of passionate educators; knowledge and thought leadership; and standards that guide the innovative and effective use of technology" (ISTE, 2020). ISTE PILLARS OF SUPPORT
4. The ISTE Educator Community is a place where you can ask questions, collaborate with peers, look for advice or best use practices, and find helpful resources to use in your classroom in an environment that is friendly, safe, and helpful (ISTE, 2021).

5. ISTE "provide[s] a conduit to knowledge through award-winning journalism and research from EdSurge; professional development and certifications based on the ISTE Standards; and books, journals, webinars, podcasts, and blog posts informed and created by experts and researchers in the education field" (ISTE, 2020).

6. ISTE has developed a set of standards that can be used to help integrate technology into the classroom. There are different standards for students, educators, education leaders, and coaches. "This framework for innovation in education is designed to give students the skills they need to contribute to a global, interconnected, and changing society" (ISTE, 2020).

7. - DR. JENNIFER SERVISS, AUTHOR AND EDUCATOR "THE MORE MINDS THAT COME TOGETHER FROM DIFFERENT BACKGROUNDS, THE MORE LIKELY YOU ARE TO ADD VALUE AND PURPOSE TO THE FIELD OF EDUCATION."
8. Educators have the unique role of providing instruction to a classroom of diverse learners - whether in-person or virtually. ISTE can give teachers the tools needed to provide the flexibility in learning that is necessary to make sure all students are prepared to face an ever-changing digital world.
