CUE in Review
If you're like many others in the education field this year, your organization is limiting/suspending/cancelling/forbidding travel for conferences and off-site meetings. So it wasn't a surprise that attendance at this year’s annual CUE conference was down by approximately 20%. That's the bad news… the good news is that many of the presentations and handouts are available through the CUE Community Web site – http://community.cue.org
The site isn’t the easiest to navigate, so here are the direct links to the Discussion Forums where you can click on each session title to see the attached resources:

SVCUE Mini-Grants Up to $1,000
Silicon Valley Computer Using Educators (SVCUE) is the local affiliate for San Mateo and Santa Clara counties of Computer-Using Educators, Inc. of California (CUE). CUE and SVCUE support the integration of all forms of technology throughout the curriculum. Annual dues run $40 and include a newsletter and discounts on various local and state technology conferences.
One special benefit of SVCUE membership is a mini-grant of up to $1,000.00 for personal ownership of equipment and/or software to support your classroom instruction. This equipment/software is for your personal use and will belong to you (not your school or district). If you are awarded a grant, you are required to share how your students benefited from the project by emailing a half page article for an SVCUE newsletter, and by giving a short presentation at one of their scheduled meetings or the annual SVCUE Technology Conference.

For Teachers:
DonorsChoose.org
The storyline for this not-for-profit website is simple: Teachers ask for classroom materials to support projects. Donors browse the projects and contribute money. Students learn and send thank you letters and photos to donors. Talk about a direct connect! Plus DonorsChoose.org provides "end to end" integrity. They screen the project proposals before posting; they purchase the materials for the teacher and ship them directly to the school; and they compile photographs, student thank-you notes, and a teacher Impact Letter as feedback for donors. Click here to access
For Administrators:
Doodle for Easy Scheduling
Go to the Doodle website, create an event or poll, and send the link to the people you need at the meeting. Each participant checks off the times s/he is available. You see real time results about what will work for everyone. An especially good tool for administrators who need to reach out to committee members who are off-campus (like parents) and thus are not part of any internal calendaring program. Click here to access
