Home Professional DevelopmentSpecial Programming at NECCSymposiaLeadership 2005

More than 200 education leaders came together during the 12^th annual ISTE Leadership Symposium at NECC to chart a collaborative vision of 21^st century learning, and to advance advocacy work begun at last year's event.

Futurist Joel Barker (http://www.joelbarker.com/) challenged attendees to explore possible positive and negative implications of schools staying status quo in an increasingly digital world. Table groups discussed a wide range of possibilities, and the process was facilitated by use of an Implications Wheel®, a tool for strategic exploration. Table conversations were captured using the tool. Learn more.

During the second part of the program, attendees contributed compelling stories from the field that help make the case for educational technology. Learn why stories matter. These stories will be added to ISTE's Advocacy Toolkit, which got its start at last year's Leadership Symposium.

ISTE wishes to thank our friends and colleagues at SETDA for their partnership in bringing the Leadership Symposium to NECC 2005.
