Community Learning Week

Whether you’re joining us in San Antonio for ISTELive or following the fun from afar with #NotAtISTE, you’re invited to be part of our very first Community Learning Week!

Community Learning Week is a hybrid celebration of creativity, community, and a passion for K-12 education. We’re bridging the gap between on-site attendees and virtual participants to ensure everyone has a chance to learn, grow, and feel connected.

👉 Want to participate? Register here to stay in the loop and receive recordings after the event.

Why Community Learning Week?
