We love year-end lists. Not only do they remind us of events that occurred or topics that emerged over the past year, they also show us patterns, context and insight.

When ISTE launched the EdTekHub, we set out to offer a smorgasbord of ed tech tips, trends, educator and student profiles, reviews, guides, and specific examples of how to implement technology in the classroom. We've given you articles, videos, infographics and blog posts written by ISTE staff and by you — the experts in the field — on the ed tech topics you care about most.

Here are your favorite posts on the EdTekHub since it was launched in June:

1. 3 ways to weave digital citizenship into your curriculum
   
   Educators are clearly hungry for tips and advice for teaching their students how to be safe and responsible online.

2. Infographic: Citizenship in the digital age
   
   Infographics are all the rage because they condense useful information into a visual, easily readable format. So we knew educators would find value in an infographic on digital citizenship. What we didn't know was how popular it would be. After receiving numerous requests for a poster version of this infographic, we got in touch with our printer. Look for it in the ISTE Store early next year.

5. Help the littlest learners share their work in 5 easy steps

8. A new twist on cyberbullying
   
   Any educator who has tried and failed miserably at using scare tactics to get older students to start or stop doing something knows that there's got to be a better way to drive home an important point.
