    To subscribe to this newsletter, please sign up at LearningRevolution.com. Please share this newsletter with your friends and colleagues! We have some fun announcements this week. The plans for ISTEunplugged.com are getting underway, and in addition to our all-day Saturday "Hack Education" unconference/party and our Sunday Global Education day, we're going to do "Maker Day" on the Friday before ISTE.
