Unconference Conference

Wednesday of the DEN Leadership Council Symposium was scheduled to be an “Unconference.”  A what?  The night before, Steve Dembo asked the attendees to ask for topics of discussion that they thought would be interesting to learning more about.  Steve mentioned that those coming up and suggesting ideas would also be the people who would [...]

Busy Week

I’m at the Discovery Educator Network Leadership Symposium this week just outside of Boston with about 75 other educators from across the country.  Our “base camp” is Bentley University.  Most of our time will be spent here participating in a variety of professional development activities.  We will, however, take a trip to the Building Learning [...]

ISTE Saturday

Valuable Time

This post may sound like a huge plug for Discovery Education. It’s not meant to be. It’s meant to share with you some information I feel is going to enhance my teaching and hopefully enhance the learning of all of the students I work with.
This past weekend (yes, Saturday and Sunday), I participated [...]

A Lot of Learning

As someone who recently purchased a subscription to DE Streaming, I am thrilled to have a lot of time learning about this product (and a ton of other stuff) [...]

I have no idea whether or not I’m going to continue with 2 blogs, but for now, I’ll probably cross post because it will be the easiest. I’m going to try and keep the DEN blog related to Discovery stuff and new things [...]
