Taking Action at ISTE: Our Top 10 Tips

Before diving into the buzz of the conference, let’s rewind a bit to our fantastic live-streamed event where we shared our top 10 strategies for making the most of your ISTE Live experience, whether you’re here in person or joining virtually as part of #NotatISTE.

1. Share Your Excitement 🎉

   Start your ISTE journey on a high note! Share your enthusiasm on social media, tag us at @TakeActionEdu, and use the hashtags #ClimateActionEdu, #ISTElive, and #NotatISTE. Let’s spread the energy and get everyone pumped up for an incredible learning experience!

2. Care for Our Planet with Your Daily Conference Choices 🌱

   From reusable water bottles to eco-friendly travel options, let’s make conscious decisions to reduce our carbon footprint. Denver is a beautiful city, and we can keep it that way by being mindful of our environmental impact.

3. Stay Connected with Creative Updates 🖌️

6. Support Local and Give Back 🏞️

   Denver has a rich local culture and community. Support local businesses, enjoy a meal at a family-owned restaurant, and consider donating to local environmental causes. Small actions add up to big impacts!

7. Take Time for Rest and Relaxation 🧘‍♀️

   ISTE is exhilarating but can also be exhausting. Remember to take breaks, enjoy some downtime, and recharge. Whether it’s a walk in a nearby park or a quiet coffee break, taking care of yourself is just as important as soaking up knowledge.

8. Share Generously and Ask, “Who Is Missing from This Conversation?” 🗣️

   As we discuss and share ideas, let’s remember to include diverse voices and perspectives. Ask yourself who might be missing from the conversation and how you can bring their insights to the table. Let’s ensure our dialogue is as inclusive as possible.

9. Share Your Story and Amplify Your Voice 🎤

   Use our digital business card template to share your story and connect with others. You can customize it for your iPhone background (1284 x 2778) or Apple Watch (1080 x 1080). Let’s create a network of change-makers ready to take action for our planet!

10. Sessions on Taking Action—For People and Planet! 🌍
