From ISTE Live 26 to Your Library and Classrooms....My New BenQ Creator Collections Are Here!

 

What a week I had at ISTE Live 26! 

I love attending ISTE every year as there are so many opportunities for learning, sharing, connecting, and bringing amazing things back to our classrooms, libraries, and school communities.  

This year, I had the honor of being part of the BenQ Education booth.  

I had a wonderful time being part of two special events. 

First, Andrew Davies, from MagicSchool AI, and I were part of an engaging conversation about how AI and technology can move students from passive consumers to active creators. Our discussion explored the importance of student voice, creativity, storytelling, and authentic learning while highlighting my with Hagan Proudly Present, Sonia's Digital World, and the ISTE Digital Explorers series. We also shared practical classroom examples using tools such as MagicSchool AI, Book Creator, Adobe Express, MergeEDU, and interactive displays to demonstrate AI-assisted brainstorming, digital storytelling, student presentations, and immersive learning experiences. 

I also shared that everyone would receive my two new BenQ Creator Collections after the conference.  For the Creator Collections, I designed d two new project plans for my new books, Our Global Recipe Book and The Butterfly Garden Design Challenge.  

On Tuesday, I was thrilled to come back for a book signing of one of my newest books, Nabil Goes Global.  I wrote this series with my friends at Capstone and ISTE.  It was fun seeing everyone and signing lots of books.  

I am very thankful for the incredible team at BenQ Education for the opportunity to be part of such meaningful conversations and experiences throughout ISTE Live 26. I always leave ISTE inspired by the amazing educators, innovative ideas, and new possibilities for teaching and learning. 

And guess what, friends?  Today, I have two special things to share with you!  

My two new BenQ Creator Collections are now available.  You can find them here.

I hope you enjoy using these with your students during the new school year in the fall.  Let me know if you have any questions. I am always happy to help.
