Selected CUE Strand Sessions:

Friday, November 18

Flash: Digital Narratives Across the Curriculum
Amy Murphy, Bear Valley Learning Community
Discover high-impact projects that students create to demonstrate their mastery in content areas. You will receive project story board templates, modify the Flash narrative template during guided practice, and publish your finished project. All are welcome; those planning on creating a project must have a basic understanding of Flash.

Animation in the Classroom
Stan Lathrop, Lyman Gilmore Middle School
Kids love animation. Using animation in the classroom is a great way to stimulate imagination and creativity. Using readily available software (such as iStopmotion, iMovie, and eZedia) and a digital camera or camcorder, all teachers can bring the fun and motivating power of animation to their classrooms.

Rebel Against the Lecture! Developing the Engaged Classroom
Janet English, KOCE-TV
Be the lead student instead of a talking head! Using technology, you can join your students to learn and explore the concepts of science together. Inquisitive minds thrive and boredom fails in a classroom where students love science, technology helps them learn it, and your mind becomes the compass of instruction.

Strategies for classroom use and a Jeopardy template will be provided.

Student Technical Support and Help Desk
Susan Fernandes, Union Middle School
If your school has computers but not enough technical support personnel, consider implementing a student tech corps (STC). STC consists of online curriculum, assessment and certification; Help Desk software; and a volunteer team. Hear from participating STC students and instructors and explore the online curriculum.

The World of Google

Is Google really improving access to the world's information? This fun, faced-paced session explores Google's latest tools for use by students, teachers, parents, and administrators. Find out what makes Google special and learn to use Google effectively to improve instruction and communication.

Just Moodling Around
Bill Click, Norman Glick Middle School
Discover Moodle, a free, Open Source, online course management system for educators. Give your students the experience of using the same technology that universities utilize with their distance learning courses. Teachers have total control of presentation and content, and you can build lessons, links, quizzes, workshops and more. Students can build projects based on a rubric and evaluate their own and peers' work using the rubric.

iPhoto in the Classroom
Ronn Waters, Magnolia School District
Do you own a digital camera and aren’t quite sure what to do with it? Want to find creative ways of introducing digital photographs in to your classroom projects? This session will cover not only how your camera works, how to transfer photos to your computer but also how to use it effectively in the classroom.  Bring your digital camera from your school or from home.  Don’t forget to bring any transfer cables required.

Getting It All Done: Microsoft Excel for School Leaders
Mark Miller, Emery Secondary School
Doing more without a commensurate increase in resources seem to be the charge of the day for California administrators. Keeping up can be a daunting task. This presentation will explore how one administrator uses Microsoft Excel to organize, assess, analyze and communicate. Master scheduling, CST analysis, evaluation/personnel tracking, and calculating instructional minutes will all be covered in this fast-paced, interactive presentation.

Teaching a World Language (Mostly via the Internet)

Leveling the Playing Field for Special Education
Gary Barney, Alta Loma School District
