It’s six in the morning and I’m up and mostly alert.

My first day at CUE was mostly about networking.

This is my first time attending CUE but I’ve seen a lot of people I know here either because I’ve met them in person or online. Very cool to meet Jose Rodriguez, Alice Mercer, and Gail Desler yesterday in person after reading their blogs and corresponding for the last year. I hope to see them again later.

Alice is doing a better job than I am of visiting sessions and blogging about them. Since I’m presenting I’m a little too distracted to attend all the sessions or sit down and write about them while I’m here. So I will write about sessions I attend later today but for additional updates I refer you to Alice’s blog.

I attended a Video in the Classroom special interest group meeting. This is a new group and they’re wondering how they can sustain themselves as the group has been created and disbanded in the past. Other than supporting each other, they plan to create a wiki with comprehensive articles on video production. Everyone was very enthusiastic about video production though most were at the high school or college level.

Then I went to a couple of reunions with Apple Distinguished Educators. We met in a hotel room and then went out to the street fair which was cool and walked around. We had dinner at the Blue Cayote Grill. It was good to see everyone again and meet a few new people who weren’t at Apple Camp last summer.

We’re seeing a keynote by Vincent Cerf, inventor of the internet, this morning and I’m presenting at 11:30 on integrating video podcasting into your existing reading curriculum (called Digital CPR). So I’m going to go find breakfast and review my keynote again.
