As I mentioned in a previous post, conference registration includes a one year ISTE membership.  Upon registration I was able to join learning communities that I am interested in. Well, I got click happy and joined a few too many. I am a high school English Language Arts, Italian and Spanish teacher, and a coordinating teacher for school-wide PD and have taught digitally enhanced classes and piloted 1to1 projects with our school district; so my interests are many. I went ahead an selected  ones I felt would apply to one of my many roles. Well that quickly spiraled out of control.

My inbox was quickly filling up with messages from each of the communities I was interested in – this is 5 emails a day! I had no way of keeping up and was deleted the ones that were not a priority in my professional practice right now. But then today I received a blessing from ISTE.

I am able to consolidate all my digests into one email. It’s a single message that includes all the content from my daily digests in an easy to skim format that won’t clutter my mailbox. While I should have used this opportunity to slim down on my digests, I decided to hoard them for a bit to see which ones I can do without.
