CUEreview

Another incredible CUE Conference... Three days of fabulous sessions and CUE Tips on all things with technology. With the emerging technologies constantly and rapidly changing-- it is difficult to keep up...

Setting up all of my classes on Moodle is my top priority. Creating discussion forums for all three classes and learning about 'hot potatoes' are my number 1 items.

things to remember to check out:
GCast
Uploading all LCMS documents using Google Docs-- easy way
Google Earth- get Google Earth Pro for educators...
Using student cell phones to collect data-- surveys, quizzes-- "the survey will open at 6PM-- be the first to answer correctly..." Poll Everywhere... If it works-- I won't need to pay for Survey Monkey any more...
Goomoodleikiog - what a great name...
Knowing which tools to use, figuring out which one works the best for whatever I am doing-- is the key!!

Now just need the time to find my 'cave' to reflect on all that I learned and develop and extend my understanding of what I just experienced...... and the 'watering hole' to share with my peers and bounce ideas off of others... as described by David Thornburg.. in his Campfires in Cyberspace..
