A Unique Road Trip Connecting Two Amazing Educator Groups -
Coming to MACUL 2013 In what could be the first and biggest crowd sourced Edtech guest speaker road trip ever, six teachers from California will be driving cross country in a van to visit MACUL 2013 as part of a unique exchange of culture and ideas between two large regional teaching communities. The genesis of this connection is a story that shows what is best about the rapidly emerging concept of “connected teachers”.
MACUL board member David Prindle was visiting California last summer as part of the Krause Foundation’s MERIT Summer Camp, when he met CUE member Jon Corippo via an Elluminate session, when Jon was sharing about his 1:1 high school.
Via Twitter, Jon and Dave became fast friends. As their conversations developed online, David and Jon realized that MACUL and CUE members were almost totally unaware of each others’ Doppelganger-like existence. Rapidly, a plan developed to link the two organizations via some kind of event, the question was: how?
The spark happened on the way home from the annual CUE Conference in Palm Springs. David challenged Jon to a road trip. Jon immediately tweeted the challenge to his CUE brethren, and an excited team of educators formed almost overnight.

Details were finalized at ISTE 12 in SanDiego and the complete plan became apparent. Seven CUE teachers will be driving together in a road trip through the heartland of America nonstop, to arrive in Detroit in time for MACUL 2013. The goal is to share the best of Edtech from California and to raise the awareness of MACUL on the West Coast as well as nationwide.
The six CUE Team members will be representing four regional CUE affiliates, where they serve as presidents, board members, and very active presenters statewide. All six are Google Certified Teachers; two are Apple Distinguished Educators. The six are considered key
members of the CUE Rock Star Teacher community and all are very excited to meet their MACUL counterparts.
Unique things about the road trip:
The CUE-MACUL Roadtrip will be completely accessible online, with daily blog entries (
cuemacul.weebly.com/), Google Maps of the route, a live Twitter Feed (CUEMACUL), Facebook and Google+ pages and YouTube videos of the trip will be posted all along the way.
On the way, educators will be able to meet with the CUE- MACUL Roadtrip team when they stop for gas and food on their way across America. The entire trip will be documented and shared at MACUL 2013 as part of over FIFTEEN sessions, the CUE Roadtrippers will be presenting to MACUL Conference attenddees, as part of an effort to connect educators nationwide.
