The best thing that I have used with DEN is the variety of united streaming videos. I have used them for projects, introduction, and closing activities in my teaching of math and language arts. My district subscribes to DEN, which is great for our students to use too. I have had my students use DEN for many projects and research. Students seem to be more engaged when technology is incorporated. Does it cost to belong to STAR? The best thing that I have used with DEN is the variety of united streaming

Try to get into the site this way. Go into Discovery as if you were going to stream a video. If you look on the tabs near Streaming you should see one that says DEN. After you click on DEN you will see a tab that says Blogs a little lower. After you click on that one, the left hand side under DEN blogs (above the states) you will see a button for National and many other interesting areas. I would click on National and start there. Here is the direct address to the website http://blog.discoveryeducation.com/ Scroll down on the National page to the DEN weekly update for July 24, 2009 and click on the link. Scroll down to Summer School with DEN to see what is going on in August. I hope this helps. There are a lot of events online. Try to get into the site this way.

I have learned more about the tools on the site recently (due to another class). I am curious about the events you mentioned. When I checked into them for my area (Mississippi) there are none listed. Are there online events I could "attend" since there are no events around me. The grant PBS had for the state has run out (I only found out about it in year 5 of a 5 year cycle) so no one around here uses the program. I still have access due to Wilkes. I am trying to convince other teachers to start asking for it so they can use it in their classrooms. I feel like I need to learn more aobut it if I am going to sell it here. Thanks for any info you may have. You can email at my wilkes account if you have any info. I am relatively new to using Discovery Education and have really only used the streaming video for my class.
