International Society for Technology in Education: We help educators around the world use technology to solve tough problems in education. All good ideas start with “what if.” “What if” is the seed of an idea that grows only when we dare to share it. When we allow many minds to dream and wonder, and add their what-ifs to ours, we nurture and grow great ideas. At a backyard barbecue in Eugene, Oregon, a tight-knit group of forward-thinking K-12 and University of Oregon educators began asking, "What if ...?" Nearly 40 years later, those what-ifs -- those seeds of great ideas -- have grown into a worldwide network of educators who are still dreaming big.
ISTE doesn't represent a constituency. We aren't an impersonal organization -- an acronym without a face or a heart. ISTE represents a movement, and our community is the driving force.
