CUE Announces Iron CUE Challengers for Fall CUE Conference
(PRWEB) October 23, 2013 -- Fall CUE 2013 Conference attendees will once again have the privilege of witnessing the ultimate ed tech competition: Iron CUE. Two brave and fearless educators, Nicole Dalesio and Kelly Kermode, will take the stage to determine whose masterpiece lesson will win the day.
Iron CUE is now in its fourth year at Fall CUE. Two ed tech experts are chosen before the conference and are introduced to the audience at the opening keynote. Each chooses two assistants from the audience to help him or her for the next 22 hours. Then, the mystery technology is unveiled. Whatever it is, the competitors must use it to produce a teachable lesson on a given topic. At the closing keynote, the competitors will present their lessons and the audience will vote. The best masterpiece lesson wins.
Iron CUE Champion Alice Keeler is coordinating the event and promises “the combined creative energy of these two ladies just might be enough to power the planet for the next year!”
