During the four-day event, teachers from around the world were inspired by The MY HERO Project’s 20-year archive of stories, film, art and music. In addition, our Teachers' Room resources, including our freely accessible templates and tutorials, were shown to enthusiastic conference participants.
“At ISTE, we provided materials to thousands of educators from across the USA and around the world,” said Jeanne Meyers, Co-Founder and Director of The MY HERO Project. “So many teachers stopped by to say they know and love my hero.”
Meyers, along with MY HERO International Film Festival Director Wendy Milette, MY HERO’s Director of Art Education Victoria Kogan Murphy, and veteran teachers Jerrilyn Jacobs and Mali Bickley teamed up at the MY HERO booth to welcome educators and offer them lesson plans and ideas.
