Unable to attend ISTE in person this year? Me too. :/
Here are
1. Follow the official ISTE Twitter hashtag #ISTE2015. Yes, of course, you already knew that.
Hootsuite, Tweetdeck, Tweetchat, Nurph, Storify, others? You decide how you want to tame the hashtag flood.
2. Download the ISTE Program mobile app from the Apple iTunes Store or the Google play store, and be sure to check the News and Announcements throughout the conference.

Wow! What an array of learning opportunities! Mahalo, Jeff.
