ISTE, the International Society for Technology in Education, stands dedicated to empowering educators to transform learning through impactful pedagogy and meaningful technology integration. This mission is achieved through transformative professional learning opportunities, vibrant communities, and ensuring accessibility and efficacy in digital tools and experiences.
In 2023, ISTE merged with ASCD, merging expertise in technology and innovation with research-based professional learning for educators and education leaders. This strategic collaboration further strengthened ISTE's position. Moreover, the acquisition of EdSurge in 2019 expanded ISTE's reach by integrating an education-focused news site that provides journalism, research, a Product Index, Jobs Board, and more.
ISTE's Story encompasses leadership, diversity, equity, and inclusion, annual reports, expertise, and impact. The organization inspires solutions and connections that enhance learning opportunities for all through practical guidance, evidence-based professional learning, virtual networks, thought-provoking events, and the ISTE Standards.
Key initiatives of ISTE include a focus on artificial intelligence in education, digital citizenship, and STEAM to revolutionize education through technology. The ISTE Standards serve as a guiding framework for educators, leaders, and coaches to leverage technology for high-impact, sustainable, scalable, and equitable learning.
