Thousands of educators apply to present at ISTE every year. I believe that the conference committee does a great job selecting the best proposals, but nobody is perfect. This is why I love the People's Choice Voting. It is a chance for educators to support the sessions and the presenters that they love. For me, this makes a big conference a little smaller. It is also a way of giving more control to attendees by supporting a more customized schedule.
Voting for the People's Choice Sessions is open now and there are many incredible sessions already posted. Anyone can vote for as many different sessions as they like, you just need to register or be a registered ISTE Voter. You don't even have to be physically attending to vote for sessions you love.
I've voted for about 20 that my PLN has already shared. Here are some of my favorite proposals so far. What will you vote for today?
Description: How long do your lessons stick? Experience HyperDoc lessons that will change the way you think about what we ask our students to do, and the lasting effects. Participants will walk away with multiple lessons and resources to create more to fit the needs of any grade level, including administrators.
Hipster Google - Tools You Probably Never Heard Of
Description: Everyone knows about Docs, Gmail, and Search, but there are also loads of lesser-known hidden gems from Google. Learn about nGram, Trends, Web Fonts, AutoDraw, Tour Builder, Toontastic, Canned Responses, Smarty Pins, Poly, Reverse Image Search, Instant Search Cards, Mystery Animal, Science Journal, Semantris, Grasshopper, Art Palette, and more!
Description: Participants will explore a variety of different video tools, styles, and formats that students can use to demonstrate learning. We will explore how video + Google Apps can be used together to encourage and enhance collaboration and reflective practices.
Students problem solve with design thinking
Description: Participants will collaborate to develop solutions to current problems with social media using design thinking protocols and discuss how the same exercise can be replicated in any classroom with any curricula with examples drawn from a class of 9-12 grade high school students.

Description: No time to reflect on your practice? So busy that time just gets away from you? We've all been there! Life is busy and time is valuable, so come learn how to reflect in a way that is consistent and meaningful with #EduSnaps: the quick, visual, digital way to reflect.
Voting closes on January 22nd. You can view all the People's Choice Proposals by click on the People's Choice Link on the main ISTE 2019 Page.
