ISTE. Approximately 20,000 educators, administrators, and district personnel attend an international technology conference each year. Last summer I went with a few CUSD employees to this conference. I connected with vendors from around the world who offer great tech resources for children of all ages. If you’re curious what other educators from around the world are doing in their classrooms, try this out and see if it reshapes how you look at technology in the classroom. LINK HERE

CUE (Computer Using Educators). Looking for something more local? CUE would be perfect for you. They have a few conferences in California each year. Does your site have training funds? Talk to your admin to see if you can attend using those site training funds. Link here.

Spring CUE. This conference is located in southern California. It’s typically in Palm Springs and it happens in March.

The schedule might make your head spin. There are so many sessions to choose from.

Fall CUE. I plan to attend Fall CUE in Napa around October. Does your site have training funds? Talk to your admin to see if you can attend using those site training funds.

Opportunities like these utterly transform the way you look at technology in the classroom. If you have never gone, ask a colleague and see if the two of you (or three of you…or six of you) can go together. It’s not just for teachers. Administrators and district-level decision-makers go to these as well. Interested? Check it out.

Stay curious,
