In episode 40 of the EdTech TV Podcast I cover some of the highlights of the CUE conference that took place in March in Palm Springs, CA. I take a specific look at the vendors, the sessions, and the people of CUE.

CUE in Review: a look back at #CUE16 – The Computer Using Educators’ Conference

The annual CUE conference is the largest of its kind on the West Coast and brings together some of the brightest minds and most forward thinking teachers who want to integrate technology into their classrooms. CUE is a massive conference that spreads across several hotels in addition to the Palm Springs Convention Center. In this episode I discussed the Vendors, the Sessions, and the People at #CUE16

Vendors:

Not a lot of vendors stood out this year, but a couple that caught my attention were:

ithinkwrite – bluetooth headphones

The Joy Factory – Illustrate Document Camera

Sessions:

Keynotes – While I missed the Keynotes, CUE has wisely been adding them as well as featured sessions up to their YouTube Channel. Many of them are worth a Saturday morning watch over a cup of coffee. Check them out at:

Baratza Encore Coffee Grinder:

Absolutely great and steady coffee grinder. A little expensive, but gets you much closer to the coffee shop taste that always seems to evade you when you brew coffee at home:
