Philadelphia is the birthplace of American independence, with the Declaration of Independence signed there in 1776 and the Liberty Bell still present in the city center as a symbol of that great historic moment. The city today is one of the largest within the US and is home to more outdoor sculptures and murals than in any other American urban areas. For a few days at the end of this month Philadelphia will also be home to the most comprehensive educational technology conference in the world: ISTE.
Each year ISTE gathers together tens of thousands of educators from all around the world, who share a deep interest in how technology can be used in the classroom. The annual event attracts over 16,000 attendees and industry representatives, including teachers, technology coordinators, administrators, library media specialists, teacher educators and policymakers. They share ideas and support each other in transforming their classrooms in true digital-age learning environments.

Through the practical activities during the session, participants will also gain knowledge on how to initiate collaborative and social learning activities among students. The session can serve as a guide to teachers as to how they can lead, design, collaborate and facilitate learning and how to transform classroom activities easily based on the SAMR model.
