CUE COMMUNITY-
CONNECT.  COLLABORATE.  CONTRIBUTE
CUE brings the full power of Web 2.0 to the conference. In addition to a bloggers’ cafe area, an EduBloggerCon “meet-up,” and special blog tags to increase the power and visibility of session blogging, we’ve launched the CUE Community, a social network for CUE Members at community.cue.org.

Using the CUE Community, you can connect with other attendees, speakers, and vendors before, during, and after the conference. All speaker materials will be found at the site, and there will be a specific forum discussion page for each conference session!  There will also be a CUE suggestions forum, for you to help us keep the CUE Annual Conference the premier ed tech event in the Western United States.
