DEN National Institute 09 ~ San Francisco

Posted by Bobbi Gurney

I had the wonderful opportunity to attend the DEN National Institute July 13-17th, 2009 at the Headlands Institute in San Francisco.  Educators from 22 states could be found networking and collaborating as we “dined and dormed it” together for 5 days and 4 nights. Our Amazing DEN team with leader Lance Rougeux,  kept us engaged, networking, & happily learning all week.   We learned from exceptional presenters such as Jannita Damian, Hall Davidson, Joe Brennan and DEN STARS themselves.  We had the priviledge of meeting the owners of Wikispaces & Glogster.  The weeks highlights included skits teaching new Discovery Education content using themes from Discovery’s top shows.  We enjoyed a day in the city by trolley car with lunch a Boudin Bakery.  We were greeted there by Discovery Director, Scott Kinney.  At the end of the week we had, “Got our GLOG on!”,   found a “Second Life” , “Wiki”‘d while we worked, “Floated Hall’s Head” in Google Earth, networked, and “geocached” our cares away.  It Was ALL Good!
