ISTE 2018 - Poster Sessions

Running throughout the ISTE timetable were poster sessions where teachers shared successful classroom practise. The 2017 COL teachers followed a similar format last year at the Manaiakalani Hui. These were really interesting as you had the opportunity to speak 1:1 to the presenters who were all very keen to share. I found these sessions informative and personal as you were able to ask questions and make connections.

My takeaways for giving a poster presentation:

• Have large visible QR codes that link to your presentation and resources (many people used these so they were able to follow up in their own time)
• Have a large visible QR code that links to your contact details (this allows for ongoing connections to be made). One group had these on the backs of their tshirts - what a great idea!
• If possible use student voice as this was really powerful.
