GENERAL SESSION
All conference attendees are invited to a special General Session Friday morning.
We will be honoring CUE members and friends through our annual CUE Awards Ceremony.
Join us as we present the Gold and Platinum Disks, the Legislator of the Year and Technology
in Learning Leadership awards.
Attendees will also get a glimpse of the future as we introduce the 2015 Board of Directors candidates.
The session will conclude with a 45 minute Keynote address, presented by Sugata Mitra. Keynote is also streamed live in
Primrose B at the PSCC, Pasadena at the Renaissance Hotel and Horizon Ballroom 2 at the Hilton Hotel.
KEYNOTE — SUGATA MITRA
The Future of Learning
In this talk, Sugata Mitra will take us through the origins of schooling as we know it, to the
dematerialisation of institutions as we know them. Thirteen years of experiments in children’s
education takes us through a series of startling results – children can self organise their own
learning, they can achieve educational objectives on their own, can read by themselves.
Finally, the most startling of them all: Groups of children with access to the Internet can learn
anything by themselves. From the slums of India, to the villages of India and Cambodia, to
poor schools in Chile, Argentina, Uruguay, the USA and Italy, to the schools of Gateshead
and the rich international schools of Washington and Hong Kong, Sugata’s experimental
results show a strange new future for learning. Using the TED Prize, he has now built seven
‘Schools in the Cloud’, of which some glimpses will be provided in the talk. TED Prize winner
Sugata Mitra is at the forefront of a new approach to education which challenges how we
teach today’s children in a technological age.
TED Prize winner Sugata Mitra is at the forefront of a new
approach to education which challenges how we teach today’s
children in a technological age.
He is Professor of Educational Technology at Newcastle University,
UK and previously a Visiting Professor at MIT in the US.
Sugata is currently working on the School in the Cloud,
which is the culmination of over a decade of research and
observations from all over the world. The School in the Cloud
is learning at the edge of chaos - a community, place and
experience to discover and explore children’s learning as a
self-organising system.
From his earliest experiments while working at NIIT in Delhi
with the Hole in the Wall project, through to setting up SOLEs
(self organised learning environments), Sugata discovered that
children’s innate sense of learning is magnified when they are
given the freedom to explore the internet in small groups.
Children in these environments, regardless of who they are or
what language they speak, can competently search for answers
to ‘big questions’, drawing rational, logical conclusions from
their research. These are questions far ahead of what is
expected of them in their school curriculum.
In 1999 Sugata and his colleagues at NIIT made a hole
in a wall bordering an urban slum in Delhi, installed an
internet-connected PC, and left to see what happened. Almost
immediately, children from the slum began playing with the
computer and in the process taught each other how to use it
and get online.
This experiment, which inspired the book ‘Slumdog Millionaire’
that went on to become the Oscar winning film of 2009, was
replicated in other parts of India, both urban and rural, with
similar results.
It challenged some of the key assumptions of formal education,
demonstrating that, even in the absence of any direct input from
a teacher, an environment that stimulates curiosity could result in
learning through self-instruction and peer-shared knowledge.
However, his research has shown that it’s not simply a case of
taking teachers out of the equation: children in remote areas
often perform poorly at school because they do not have
access to good teaching.
As a result of further research which showed the importance of
an encouraging adult in these circumstances, the Granny Cloud
was born, after Sugata put out a plea for retired teachers in the
UK to come forward who were willing to interact with children
in India via Skype.

Hilton Hotel.
KEYNOTE — JENNIE MAGIERA
Beware the Transformation Trap:
Making Meaningful Change
So often we hear about how new devices, pedagogies or teaching philosophies are
“transforming education”. We hear about models focused on redefinition and innovation.
However, how closely aligned are these strategies, ideas and devices to the real focus
of our schools - our students? This session explores the transformation trap - the idea that
simply being “different” or new is better. It refocuses the discussion of innovation and
educational technology back on the students and how these changes can truly support
their learning in real classrooms.
Jennie Magiera is the Digital Learning Coordinator for the Academy for Urban School
Leadership, a network of 32 Chicago Public Schools, and previously taught math to 4th
and 5th graders. A White House Champion for Change, Apple Distinguished Educator,
Google Certified Teacher and CPS’ 2012 Tech Innovator of the Year, Jennie has been
working to redefine education through effective technology use. She explores how to
leverage 1:1 devices such as Chromebooks and iPads to increase student collaboration,
self-efficacy and creativity. Jennie is also passionate about transforming professional
learning, co-founding PLAYDATE and other new conference concepts. Aside from her students, Jennie’s great loves in life
are sci fi, mashed potatoes, Tabasco sauce, her dog and her husband. You can follow Jennie on Twitter at @MsMagiera or
through her blog TeachingLikeIt’s2999.

Leslie Fisher
Leslie Fisher’s
interest in
technology
began while
studying music
at the University
of Southern
California.
She quickly
realized the
value of utilizing
computers for
music mixing and
recording. She
grabbed her 300
baud modem,
jumped on the
Internet (before
anyone really called it the internet) and started looking for
music resources. She soon realized she was spending more
time discovering technology than playing music so she
changed her major and tried to figure out what geeky thing
she could do for the rest of her life.
After graduating from USC with a Business
and Marketing degree in 1989 and a
quick stint as a Trainer, Leslie joined Apple
Computer in 1992. When the Internet took
off in 1994, Leslie was one of the first Apple
employees assigned to study Internet growth
and implementation.
In 1997, Leslie was roadkill on Apple’s road
to recovery and part of their massive lay off.
Leslie planned to spend most of her huge
severance package golfing and waiting a few
months to look for a job. The day after her
layoff, her phone began to ring with Apple
customers requesting consulting, training and
presentation services. Before she could say
fore, Fisher Technologies Inc. was created
to help educators with their technology
implementations and decisions.
Fisher Technologies Inc. is now a worldwide company
(meaning one employee named Leslie gets to travel the
world teaching) specializing in presenting technology
solutions for educators as well as Digital Photography,
editing and workflow.

Telling the Story: Lessons Learned from the

Research states facts and figures only activate the part of the brain
where we make sense of words. But, when listening to a digital

parts in our brain activated, but any other area in our brain that we
would use when experiencing the events of the story are, too”. To
get their point across, the business world is shifting from bullet points
to stories. How can we do this in schools? Presenting content using
storytelling can be captivating, compelling, and can help students
grasp the content. This presentation will include the research to
support this pedagogical shift, various examples of content presented
this way, and an overview of the process and tools that can be used
