The International Society for Technology in Education, or ISTE, is a nonprofit organization that focuses on improving education through the use of technology. Founded in 1979, it provides resources, professional development, and a community for educators to enhance their teaching practices and integrate technology effectively in the classroom. ISTE is known for its annual conference, which gathers educators, technology leaders, and innovators to share ideas and best practices. The organization also develops the ISTE Standards, which outline the skills and knowledge educators and students should possess to thrive in a digital world.
