One of the exciting things about podcasting live from ISTE is that you get to actually see and use the neat learning tools your guests are talking about.  I was instantly charmed by Dash and Dot, the cute blue robots from Wonderworkshop.  I was lucky June came along with them because after saying hello the robot just glanced around awkwardly.  Before this conversation I had almost no idea what you could teach with robots and I was amazed at all the great ideas June shared with me about using these really engaging robots to support computer science learning in the youngest grades.  Check out this great conversation and share your Ideas about what you could do with robots in your classroom.

For the last few months, I have been asked by several teachers one common question: "How Do I Survive ISTE?"  My advice for these teachers has always been the same.  Spend less time at sessions and more time meeting people.  The art of networking is one of the best skills that can’t possibly be over utilized when attending a MEGA-Conference.  Attending ISTE is all about meeting new people and learning about their innovative ideas. One of these innovative ideas that I learned about came from Mitch Weisburgh and Larry Cocco who are not only great educators to follow, but the co-creators of a brand new learning network called Games4Ed. About Our Guests Mitch Weisburgh Co-founder of Games4Ed. Co-founder of Edchat Interactive. Director of Youth Rights Media. Managing Partner, Academic Business Advisors. Registered Volunteer, AFS Intercultural Exchanges. Larry Cocco Co-founder of Games4Ed. Board of Directors, State Educational Technology Directors Association, and received the 2014 State Leader of the Year award.  Educational Services Advisory Committee, Thirteen/WNET.  Guild Officer, Gamers Advancing Meaningful Education (G.
