Recently I attended the 2010 CUE Conference and was able to gather some great information. I'll try to share a few places to check out over a few blogs so that you don't get a technology headache. After one day full of presentations, I thought my brain might burst! But I was able to get some very cool information that also happens to be FREE! And we all know free is good!
I was lucky enough to attend a couple presentations by Jim Holland and Susan Anderson. They are educators in Texas and run a website with information on free resources. They also put their presentations on the website so feel free to browse through those. Their website is called Digital Goonies and after you check it out, you may want to join their newsletter.
Another great resource for educators is the Microsoft Education website. If you check out the left side, you will see links for lesson plans and resources. In the middle of the page you see the FREE TOOLS! Check out the WorldWide Telescope.
And of course, if you are interested in learning more about using technology in your classroom, check out CUE (Computer Using Educators) and our local affiliate Kern CUE. We'd love to have you as a member. We are newly active, 1 year now, and hope to bring you the 2nd annual Kern CUE Technology Conference on November 13, 2010. We are also discussing ways to give teachers free workshops to learn more ways to use technology effectively and efficiently in the classroom. Check out the Kern CUE website for current info. And don't worry... we aim for beginners, intermediates, and advanced users!
