The CUE Conference was a three-day conference which included: Concurrent Sessions, Pop-Up Sessions, and a vendor rich Exhibit Hall. Concurrent Sessions included over 200 one-hour lecture style presentations that addressed all areas of curriculum and appealed to a variety of teachers. Pop-Up Sessions were held on Thursday and featured long-time and well known speakers who took "center stage" to provide enlightening sessions on general topics of interest. The Exhibit Hall had 200+ vendor displays that featured the latest in education technology resources. For those who attended and those unable to do so, there is a wealth of resources from the conference, including Speaker Handouts, CUE Live!, Student Showcase and other resources on the CUE web site.

Past Events from 2006
Did you attend? What an event! The National Educational Computing Conference (NECC) was an experience none of the attendees will forget. Imagine an international audience of more than 12,000 teachers, technology coordinators, library media specialists, teacher educators, administrators, policy makers, industry representatives, and students from all over the world coming together in one location, beautiful San Diego. If you attended, you know that for yourself; if you were unable to attend, you truly missed a fantastic opportunity. Once again, NECC was a memorable conference . Visit the NECC page here on the SGVCUE web site for a bit more detail and important links.

Once again held in beautiful Palm Springs at the Convention Center this year's conference promised to be excellent and this promise was fulfilled! The theme for the conference was "Engage, Explore, Express." One the CUE home page, there is mention of a fourth "E" which they have designated as "Extend." For the first time there are a plethora of post-conference resources available for all. How fantastic! Thanks to all who made this possible! To quote the title on the page..."CUE Handouts, Webcasts, and Podcasts, oh my!"
For those who attended, you can get the handouts for some of the sessions you were unable to attend and you have a wonderful way to share with colleagues your excitement and knowledge . For those who were unable to be at the conference, there is a wealth of resources available as well. Take advantage of these wonderful online resources and be sure to visit the site to follow up on those sessions you missed. CUE Extended.
