One of the opening addresses is an interview with an independent school teacher from right around the corner from my school who is the 2014 ISTE Outstanding Young Educator.
Diana Neebe is a high school English teacher from Sacred Heart Atherton who is central to the one-to-one iPad program at her school. What is also interesting is that she is, by contract, also the tech teacher/innovator/supporter for the other faculty. If they need help with something small, like how to share a Google Doc, to something big, like how to go from paper to online quizzes, her school gives her the time, space, and responsibility to do that. I like that she said her tech role is part of her contract. That shows that her school values technology, that it's not an afterthought.
