If you are anything like us, then you are excited for ISTE 2017 in San Antonio. (Some of us may even have begun packing days ago.) We can't wait to share all that is new with Curriculum Pathways with thousands of amazing educators from across the country and around the world. ISTE has always proven to be a fantastic opportunity to discuss the future of technology in learning with educators, administrators, makers, and creators. And we are confident 2017 will continue to fulfill this promise.
Here's the 411 7-1-1 on where Curriculum Pathways will be at ISTE. We hope to see you there, June 25 to June 28 (or on social media if you are #notAtISTE).

1 Demo Area
Stop by booth 300 in the demo hall. You'll have a chance to meet with our knowledgeable staff, including former master teachers, that have brought over 1,700+ resources to Curriculum Pathways. We can't wait to share what's new this year! In the booth we will have some exciting opportunities to try out 2 of our most popular resources: CodeSnaps and Writing Reviser Add-on for Google Docs. Whether you've coded before or not, you've never coded like this - CodeSnaps allows you to code using printed blocks that, when scanned into the CodeSnaps app, control a connected robot. And the Writing Reviser Add-on for Google Docs enables you, your students, anybody really to revise writing like a pro. Find areas of wordiness, or sentences with too many prepositional phrases and improve writing.
So, stop by and have a "Wow" moment. Let us know how we can make Curriculum Pathways better for you and for teachers and students. We look forward to the conversations at ISTE each year to spark innovation and fill our roadmap with new features, resources, and updates.
Don't forget to stop by and signup for a chance to win some great swag too!
