CUE. CUE stands for Computer-Using Educators.  They just celebrated their 40^th year as an organization that supports teachers and promotes technology in the classroom. Wahooo!  Memberships are FREE until March of 2018.  I encourage you to become a member.  

This conference was fantastic.  The opening speaker was Brad Montegue (the designer behind kid president).  From there, I was able to choose from 60+ different break-out topics.  Lunch was included both days.  I was able to hand-select what technology instruction I wanted.  Advanced.  Intermediate.  Apps.  Web design.  Using Technology in the Humanities Classroom.  Growth Mindset in the Classroom and Technology Integration.  Extensions.  I was actually in the minority (TOSA).  Most of the teachers around me were classroom teachers just like you.

If you are interested, head to their website and check it out.  There is a conference in the Spring in Palm Springs.  Hotels will sell out quickly.  So, start planning today if you would like to attend.

Apps Tab. I updated my website to include an Apps tab.  Check out the top tab area to locate where it says Apps.  There are over 50 apps to explore.  They are sorted into categories for you.  Hop over there and see if any of those tools will work for you, your learning environment, or your students.

Assessment Data.  We have talked about taking assessments on Benchmark via the eAssessment option.  But, how do you get those reports when the kids are done?  THIS PDF TUTORIAL will walk you through step-by-step how to access printable data.  I cannot do a video of that because I don’t want student data to be on video.  Sorry about that.

Kindly,
