OnCUE Editorial Calendar

The OnCUE Journal is published four times a year and provides the latest tips on new hardware and software, up-to-date legislative information, articles on successful school-based technology programs, and a host of other timely, useful information. It is mailed to our current membership, including technology-using educators throughout California, the United States and the world. It is also available in PDF form in the OnCUE Archive.

Beginning with the Spring 2012 issue, OnCUE+ is available for digital consumption. This version of the journal is free of the constraints of its paper-based sibling. It will come out quarterly and include the same awesome articles, feature the same great contributors, but extend the capabilities to include audio, video, slideshows, interactive links and more. The app is currently available for iPad and will soon be available in Google Play for Android tablets. Issues will be available at no charge to CUE members, or $4.99 each for nonmembers.
