Newsletter

    ICE CUBE

    Welcome to the Illinois Computing Educators Computer Update Bulletin for Educators (ICE CUBE), the official newsletter of the Illinois Computing Educators. Our newsletter is published four times each year and is always filled with practical and innovative teaching ideas that ICE members have shared for others to use and pass along to their colleagues. One issue each year is devoted to information about our annual ICE Conference and another issue each year is filled with lesson plans that make use of technology resources. Please make a note of the themes for upcoming issue below, and consider sharing your knowledge with others.

    If you would like to read articles from past issues of the ICE CUBE, please see our Newsletter Archives. This is a great place to learn more about our organization, look back at photos and descriptions of previous events, and read about the many great lesson plans and projects that have been highlighted in past issues. All issues are posted in PDF format for easy viewing and downloading.
