TYPES OF SESSIONS
Concurrent Sessions
Concurrent sessions are one-hour, lecture-style presentations that address all areas of the curriculum and appeal to a variety of teachers. Sessions may be given by a single speaker, team or panel who can address the needs of the novice user of educational technology as well as the more experienced professional.
Hands-On Workshops
Hands-on workshops are three-hour presentations for 25-30 participants in either a Mac Lab, Windows Lab or Bring Your Own Laptop (BYOL) lab. Each registrant will have their own computer. Topics on specific software applications should also be curriculum related. Please specify all equipment and software applications required for the workshop. We are also interested in hands-on workshops for hand-held computers and digital cameras. Commercial or vendor-led workshops are not offered at CUE. Instead, we'd suggest that interested vendors sign up for a corporate room and plan your own sessions (see below for information).
Corporate Room Sessions
Looking to showcase your product or service with a one-hour pop up session at the Fall CUE Conference? CUE is offering spaces for interested vendors to purchase sessions in a room all day or just single sessions. The room would allow your corporation to present your product in the best possible light. A projector, screen and a single wired Internet drop is included. Your sessions will be also included in the conference program/addendum and listed as commercial sessions (must be submitted by published deadlines). Sponsorship information click here.
Spotlight Speakers
Suggestions for Spotlight and Keynote Speakers are taken from the Conference Committee, the Board of Directors, and others. The Regional CPC establishes a priority list. Spotlight speakers must give three presentations. Spotlight speakers are sought from both inside and outside California and bring a national perspective to CUE. Speaker fees and other expenses are covered up to a budgeted amount.
Other Speaker Information
Current Topics of Interest to CUE Members
For every conference the Fall Conference Chair and Fall Conference Speaker Coordinator review the strands for session proposals. Changes are made in the strands to meet current trends and needs of conference attendees. The Conference Committee and CUE Board note areas in which there seems to be a need for information at conferences and ask that good presenters be found if possible. This dynamic exchange of needs and ideas helps to keep conferences fresh and timely. CUE is currently looking for sessions on diversity, standards and assessment, No Child Left Behind and technology grants such the Enhancing Education Through Technology. Further, we are seeking sessions delving into emerging technologies such as gaming in education, personal learning device and assistive technology.
