Introduction

International education is a great place to be. This week, I am attending the ISTE Leadership Conference in Indianapolis, IN and meeting a lot of great people. Flying all the way up from Bolivia was an expensive, but worthwhile endeavor. The amount of information, expertise and sharing is completely exhausting and overwhelming. In Bolivia, we are presented with limited options for technology such as high cost of equipment and low bandwidth both due to importation costs. In addition to this, you then have the community and other factors to consider. With the help of ISTE, I have been able to get a lot off the ground and continue running with various programs and support from colleagues met at conferences and the JHU/ISTE administration program. Hopefully here in the next few weeks, I will be able to invite other international educators to share their views, problems, solutions and other concerns that can help improve international schooling as well as be a source of information for any educator.
