This week, the Cisco Education team attended the annual ISTE (International Society for Technology in Education) conference, an event for educators and technology supporters.

Throughout the three-day conference, our team learned from educators, thought leaders and experts from around the world. In addition to attending breakout sessions, keynotes and panels, we also teamed up with Cisco Meraki to introduce educators to our technologies through a booth on the expo floor.

To highlight the impactful conversations, discussions and key insights learned, here are seven quotes from ISTE that sum up the meaningful change that these education leaders hope to achieve through technology.
