5th Year Anniversary!
CUE Unplugged is a small series of crowd-sourced activities that take place in, around, and with the support of the annual CUE (Computer Using Educators) conference, held in Palm Springs each year.
All of these events are free and do not require signing up anywhere except to be registered for CUE, so just come join us! Specific locations will be posted prior to the conference. And a HUGE thanks to CUE for making this all possible!
Thursday, March 15th (9am - 3pm) - SOCIALEDCON: SocialEdCon (formerly EduBloggerCon) is an "unconference" activity allowing educators to create and then hold a set of informal conversations around topics you care about. Started five years ago with a very small meeting (me and Barbara Barreda!) at Shakey's Pizza in Palm Spring and held for the last several years the day before CUE, SocialEdCon graduates this year to our own room (Oasis Room 4) during the conference!
Come join us early Thursday morning to plan the day, then feel free to come and go as you please, attending both traditional CUE sessions and our unconference ones (we match our conversation schedule to the conference session times)! There are no formal presentations, just "conversations" that you or others facilitate. To lead a session, it is not expected that you prepare material but that you have a topic you want to open to discussion. Let others know you're going to be there by joining the CUE SocialEdCon group at Classroom 2.0.
9:00 - 9:30am Come join us for a welcome/social and to select the topics and set the schedule for the day. When the schedule is set, we'll post all the topics on this page.
Friday, March 16th (All day)- UNPLUGGED: Originally conceived as a "fringe festival" or a "salon de refuses," CUE Unplugged is an all-day alternate presentation venue inside the conference in Oasis Room 4--anyone can sign up to present on a topic that might not have been current when proposals for the conference were due, or maybe even a topic that didn't get accepted to the main conference! Or maybe you were too nervous to even apply! Held in a formal presentation area at CUE, these sessions are also streamed live to those not able to physically attend CUE.
The signup page is HERE. You must physically be at the CUE conference to present, only one presentation booking per person unless you talk with Steve Hargadon to get an exception. Presentations are 12 minutes long, and you will be asked to keep on time to allow the next presentation to start without delay. No commercial presentations (if you are not associated in any way with a company, you may present information on their commercial educational product).
The session schedule will display HERE.
ALL CONFERENCE, March 15th - 17th, - THE BLOGGERS' CAFE: Also in it's FIFTH year now, the Bloggers' Cafe is an informal, couch-chairs-floor gathering area in the conference center for bloggers, social media mavens, and anyone else who wants to find and connect with others. A beehive of constant activity and conversation, the Bloggers' Cafe makes it hard to go do anything else once you discover it.
