It’s that time of the year again!  We are thrilled to continue our partnership with the PA Educational Technology Expo and Conference and have a lot of exciting things planned for STAR Discovery Educators at this year’s conference.

We are sponsoring two amazing keynote speakers for the conference: David Pogue (Monday) and our very own Steve Dembo (Tuesday).  We also have the wheels in motion to host our third annual DEN pre-conference extravaganza (saying event just doesn’t do it justice) on February 10 at the Hershey Lodge and Convention Center.  The agenda for the day will include sessions on a variety of topics:

• Using Second Life in Education
• Discovery Education streaming and Premiere Elements
• Digital Storytelling with Web 2.0
• Discovery Education streaming and Google Earth
• Podcasting 101
• Top Ten Free Web 2.0 Resources
• The Builders in Discovery Education streaming

As always, participants will be able to customize their schedules throughout the full-day event, I mean EXTRAVAGANZA.  More details will be posted as we approach 2008, but if you are a STAR DE (from any state) who wants to attend the preconference day with us, please send me an email (lance_rougeux@discovery.com) that contains the following:

• Full name
• School
• District
• State
• Email address

STAR Discovery Educators do not have to pay to attend our DEN preconference day.  Please register by sending me an email.  Do not register via the PETE&C website.
