CUE 2018 has officially begun, and thousands of teachers from across the country are gathered in Palm Springs, California, to connect with other educators, learn from expert thought leaders — and start their CUE Adventure.
We’ve collected some of the best moments from Day 1 of the conference below. But first …
What is The CUE Adventure?
This year, Classcraft (booth #132) is transforming the CUE exhibit hall into an epic adventure. Participants create their own legendary hero and complete objectives within the exhibit hall to earn Gold Pieces (GP), which they can use to make their hero look even more awesome.
The CUE Adventure uses Classcraft’s Quests, a tool that deeply engages students and personalizes their learning through choose-your-own adventure maps and storylines that teachers create from their existing lesson plans and materials. It’s one of many ways Classcraft creates a more meaningful school experience for students.
