The SIGS at NECC
ISTE's 30th Anniversary Storytelling Project
 This year marks the 30th anniversary for the International Society for Technology in Education (ISTE) and ISTE’s conference, the National Educational Computing Conference (NECC). As part of the celebration, ISTE asks that you share your stories from the past 30 years of ed tech. Stories can be shared in words, pictures, audio, and/or video.
For those interested in learning more about digital storytelling, Bernajean Porter, organizer of the new Digital Storytelling SIG, has presented a webinar on the topic, with resources on how to get started with a digital storytelling project. View the webinar archives and visit SIGDS's wiki for more information on and ideas for digital storytelling.
Visit ISTE's 30th Anniversary website for more information on the storytelling project and on other celebratory events, including details on how your submission to the storytelling archive can enter you for a chance to win a trip to NECC!
