The DEN’s Fall Virtual Conference – Tech or Treat was replete with many great treats. For seven hours participants learned many tricks for using Discovery Education and Web 2.0 resources to enrich our student’s educational experiences. Don’t worry if you could not attend today. Each session was recorded and will be archived and available on [...]
What a great way to begin Tech or Treat–making your own name tags. I must admit when we discussed it via one of our LC phone conferences, I wasn’t sold. It just did not begin to sound as neat as it really was. Thanks to Patti Duncan for the idea–and the recipe. I see more [...]
If you spent the day with the DEN Virtual Conference Live Event or participated virtually, you were definitely a winner. You cannot leave any Discovery event without reaping huge benefits. Sometimes you win prizes, as so many of our participants did, but even for those who did not walk away with a giveaway, they were [...]

Today the KS DEN Leadership Council sponsored a Day of Discovery in conjunction with the Discovery Education Virtual Conference at Brooks Middle School in Wichita, KS.

I came to Justin Karkow’s presentation late from blogging our live event with Patti Duncan, so I missed the intro. But his message soon became apparent: we often ask students to check how they learn best when they enter our classrooms. He showed us the old job wheel, contrasted by the 21st century job wheel. [...]
The no-so-spooky hour of 2 has just passed, and we’re live again with Patti Duncan, who admits that earlier presentations, both live and virtual, stole most of her tools. According to her, however, she has many tools in her pockets, so she is good to go. Her goal: despite whatever your level of use, she [...]
These dedicated teachers truly embody 24/7 transparent learning and teaching.
If anyone can keep me from eating lunch, it would be Steve Dembo, who can hold a virtual or real audience word by word. Trying to capture any of Steve’s presentations is an exercise in rapid writing and fast screen shots. Steve was number four on the Top Ten Reasons To Attend the Fall Virtual [...]
During our in person meeting at Kennedy High School during the virtual conference we had the opportunity to listen to Jen Dorman, Mike Bryant, and Steve Dembo. We were given several great resources during the presentations. To see Jen Dorman’s resources click HERE. Jen’s presentation was called, “Do You Have the Audacity to Podcast?” [...]
Tech or Treat continues, live in the Learners Lab, but for this time slot, we turn our blogging to Mike Bryant’s multimedia presentation. When you begin thinking about slides, think outside the slide, from a flat still image to what goes beyond the image. So, using Shakespeare’s birthplace and highlighting the window, you can push [...]
We are linking up with NASA today for a guest session for the in-person event at Evangel.

NASA offers four different programs through the videoconferencing. [...]
