General Membership

ISTE Member Welcome and Conference Orientation
Sunday, 2–3:45 pm, Ballroom C, Level Three

Learn how to make the most of ISTE's rich content—at NECC and year round. In this fastpaced, fun program, media guru and session host Mario Armstrong will guide you through your onsite experience, help you network with peers, and will share tips for engaging with your membership throughout the year.

All session attendees will receive a set of mini MP3 speakers and will be entered into a drawing for prizes, including a Flip video camera, iPod Touch, and a Kindle Reader. We'll also screen the top three finalists from our digital storytelling contest, and you'll pick the winner via live audience polling!

After the session, get a sneak peek of the 30th Anniversary Museum before the Opening Keynote.
