Lucy Gray · Lucy’s Daily Dispatch

After ISTE+ASCD 2026, I found myself with a long list of resources from sessions I attended, sessions I missed, and sessions I wish I had prioritized. I went back into the program search, filtered sessions by those that had digital totebag resources, and chose sessions that looked interesting. If the resources presented looked useful, I added them to the following list. I did not add sessions where the presenters had you fill out a form to get their resources, presumably so that they could add you to their mailing lists. I then decided to organize them by theme so I can return to them as I continue thinking about AI literacy, library programming, coaching, student voice, and inclusive learning. I used ChatGPT to help me do this.

This is a collection of sessions, tools, and ideas that stood out to me because they connect to the work I care about most right now. It will serve as my professional learning map for the next year. I can dip into these resources as time allows every week. It’s a great way to make the most of my ISTE conference experience.

I also created a Google NotebookLM with many of the links and PDFs I saved to my Digital Tote on the ISTE Live website. NotebookLM is Google’s AI-powered research and note-taking tool. You can add sources such as PDFs, Google Docs, websites, slides, and other materials, and then ask questions, generate summaries, create study-style artifacts, and explore connections across the sources. In other words, it acts like a research assistant that is grounded in the materials you provide rather than searching the entire internet.

For this post, I used NotebookLM as a way to make my curated ISTE resources more explorable. Readers can use the notebook to chat with the materials, ask questions across the resources, and generate digital artifacts that help them make sense of the collection. To access it, readers will need to join or open the notebook with a free Google account.

This is not a container of all resources from ISTE Live. It only includes links and PDFs from sessions that interested me, especially since I could not attend everything. Think of it as my curated slice of the conference: the sessions, ideas, and materials I wanted to revisit.

A few themes kept surfacing across the resources:

  • AI literacy is moving from novelty to infrastructure. Schools are beginning to grapple with policy, student voice, citation, academic integrity, AI companions, and the need for shared language.

  • Coaching and professional learning are becoming more facilitative. Several sessions focused on strategic questioning, protocols, PLCs, and AI-supported coaching systems.

  • Libraries remain central to creativity, literacy, digital citizenship, and access. The school library sessions reinforced the library as a hub for inquiry, making, reading culture, and student voice.

  • Accessibility and wellness need to stay at the center of innovation. UDL, iPad accessibility, learned helplessness, psychological safety, and technology wellness all reminded me that innovation only matters if it helps more learners thrive.

Below is my organized resource roundup.

  • What does responsible AI literacy look like across grade levels?

  • How can schools create AI policies with students, not just for students?

  • How can libraries become stronger hubs for intergenerational learning, digital confidence, and civic engagement?

  • What coaching structures help educators move from tool adoption to thoughtful practice?

  • How do we keep accessibility, wellness, and learner agency at the center of innovation?

  • What does it mean to prepare students to be “AI-ready” without reducing learning to tool use?

I wish I had spent more time in the Portrait of an AI Learner Pavilion. There seemed to be some good sessions in that space, and I should look more carefully at ISTE’s new AI framework.

I also wish I had attended the session entitled Shared Power, Shared Learning: Intergenerational Frameworks for Change, especially because it connects so directly to my work with older adults at Northbrook Public Library and the possibilities for building meaningful intergenerational learning experiences.

ISTE+ASCD always leaves me with more questions than answers, but that is part of the value. This resource list gives me a way to keep learning from the conference long after the sessions have ended.
