Upcoming Webinars: Register at: http://community.discoveryeducation.com/webinar. The Way I See It with Dr. Temple Grandin Tuesday, April 13 at 7 PM ET [...]
One of the best things I have done in my professional career was to attend a Discovery Summer Institute. The professional development was incredibly relevant to what students were needing in the classroom and I learned new tools and new ways to use old tools for instruction. But mostly, I found a network of teachers [...]
There’s so much going on in the DEN and Discovery. Here’s your to-do list for the next week. My favorite (since I cannot do the Institute with a baby cria hitting the ground in early June) is Take the Stress out of the Test. Very cool ideas. DEN National Institute: Application Opens Next Friday We [...]
As we all wrap up the end of the school year, isn’t it great that we don’t have to see the end of great DEN events? Some of you will be going to the DEN National Institute, others like myself, will be going to the DEN LC Symposium. Many lucky people will be going to [...]
Well, there seems to be lots of stuff going on right now and all of it is stuff that YOU should be taking advantage of! Aside from the fact that our very own account manager, Justin Karkow, is featured not once, not twice, but THREE times on the main DE page, there are several things [...]

It’s been a couple of days since I blogged. That’s because we’ve been so busy with activities and working on our projects. Yesterday, we got to go to a nice restaurant, Sequoia, near Georgetown, then we took an evening tour of Washington, DC. It was incredible seeing the monuments lit up with the moon to [...]
I’m sitting in a very active room full of educators on Day 3 of the DEN LC National Institute in Silver Spring, Maryland. Steve Dembo is the keynote speaker this morning. I’m embedding the live blog again today. It seemed to work great – if you can’t join the live session you can still read [...]
One of the things I have always said about the DEN is that when I’m given just 10 minutes in a room with DEN members, I come away with more valuable information and useful tools than I ever do in an entire day of professional development. Day 2 at the DEN LC National Institute proved [...]
For those of you who are sitting at home, wishing you were here, Jennifer Dorman (cliotech) is live blogging Hall Davidson’s keynote this morning. You can watch the live feed here (and I think you’ll be able to see it later, as well). This is my first time embedding a live blog, so hopefully it [...]
As we near the first of many national and regional DEN institutes, I’m putting out the call for guest bloggers. I’ll cover the National LC institute coming up next week, but I’ll need a guest blogger for the National institute the next week and also for the regional institute in Dallas August 1-2. All this [...]
Occasionally, I find that I really need to get a lot of information out there about upcoming deadlines and events. This is one of those times. First, I want to point out that the DEN has announced their National Institute schedule. The important thing to know right now is that the application deadline is April [...]
Engaging, Empowering, Collaborating and having a real good time are just a few words that describe the National Institute of DEN STARS in Berkeley. The institute which took place on the Berkeley campus, allowed us to form a cohesive learning community where we shared innovative ideas and learned from each other on a daily basis. [...]
Wish You Were Here Just as those lucky DEN STARS meeting at the DEN National Institute in Berkeley, CA are probably thinking – wish you all could be here. Those same sentiments echoed loudly on the deck of the cruise ship Sensation when DEN STAR Cruisers embarked upon their learning journey on the high seas [...]
Well, I’m back home from the Florida Institute and trying to process all the information that I’ve received in the last few days. I don’t want to go into too much detail and spoil things for the Berkeley Institute attendees, but I’ll try to give you a little insight into the experience. The great thing [...]
The edge of the Bahamas, that is! We are on day two of the Florida Institute. We’ve been working hard the whole time and, once again, it is so unbelievable to me the amount of new information and networking that we have already been exposed to! As anyone who has ever attended a DEN event [...]
I had a great learning experience at Silver Springs. I was so pleased that I got to finally meet Jannita, she is a great person with a lot of energy. I was also very pleased to see Lance again. He gave us an informative session about all the new things with unitedstreaming. Shelly Sentora-Jones the [...]
