First, there is the main entry, and the building itself. There is a lot of information for teachers in the ISTE building and I would encourage people to take a look and see what is new. The is a survey to let the owner know a little bit about yourself as you look around. It is quick and easy to fill out. There is also a bulliten board in the room so that messages can be posted and viewed. There are also many of the books that ISTE publishes as well as some of the magazines on the wall for people to order or get more information about. Many times during the day there is a Docent (a person who is here to greet and answer questions) as you enter the area. It has been a great experience for me to meet more educators and make new friends. There are also many other resources to check out.
Next there Skypark, with space for conferences and open air discussions. I have had a few great conversations with people in the Skypark. It is a great place to meet people and have discussions. I think some times the socials are up there, but as I have not had time to attend one, I think that is where they are.
Finally there is the sandbox. Like most sandboxes, it is a great place to look over all the items you have in your inventory. All those great freebie places give you some fun stuff, but when you need a place to view your collection... the sandbox is a great place.
Well for now I'll leave some things for you to explore. I'll post more about ISTE and what is there later. Take a few moments and see who is there and what is going on.
