All content will be designed by the chosen presenters through an application process. The presenters will be determined by a committee of representatives from the ISTE Community Leaders group. The playground time structure will be two sets of 45-minute presentations with 15 minutes between to switch presenters at the various stations as needed. Participants will be able to join presentations already in session and walk amongst all of the presentations to glean the most important information for their practice. The processes will vary depending on the presenter at each station, but immersive and interactive strategies will be encouraged.
