Practical Ed Tech Live - Episode 10 - ISTE Recap + Q&A

Just a few minutes ago I wrapped-up the tenth episode of Practical Ed Tech Live. Most of the time was spent on my ISTE recap, but I did answer a couple of reader questions at the end. Next week I will cover more questions. The video of the episode is embedded below. You can get the outline and resource links here.

Two Programs Providing Internet Access to Low-income Homes

Today at the ISTE conference I attended the morning TeachMeet ISTE session. At the end of the session Jay Eitner took the stage and shared information about two programs that provide affordable Internet access to low-income homes.

The first program that Jay shared was the FCC Lifeline Program. The program provides significantly mobile and fixed broadband Internet access. Costs are low, but do appear to be variable. You can learn more about program eligibility and find service providers at Lifelinesupport.org

EveryoneOn.org was the second program that Jay shared at TeachMeet ISTE. EveryoneOn.org is a non-profit that provides assistance to families in need of free or low-cost Internet access. The organization partners with local internet service provides in 48 states and Washington, D.C. Low-cost, refurbished tablets and computers are also available through EveryoneOn.org.

The Not at ISTE 2017 Survey

The annual ISTE conference starts on this coming Sunday. I'll once again be attending with a media credential. While I already have a list of interviews that I'll be conducting, I am also looking for input from those of you who aren't able to attend the biggest ed tech conference of the year in North America. I want to know what you would be interested in learning about if you could attend the conference. That's why I created the short Google Form that is embedded below. Please take a minute and let me know what you want to learn about from ISTE 2017.
