DEN Thoughts
Well, I finally managed to get my flight arranged for the DEN Leadership Council National Institute in July. I’m very excited about the opportunity to connect with my fellow LC members. Some of them will be people I met last summer and others will be new people to meet. Either way, I can’t wait to get to Maryland!
This brings to mind the whole reason why the DEN has been such a great experience for me over the last several years. The opportunities to connect with educators from all over the world is invaluable! From bouncing ideas off each other on Twitter, meeting at various professional development opportunities, and learning together in webinars, the whole DEN experience cannot be equaled. I’ve looked and tried to get as immersed in other professional groups, but everything pales in comparison!
If you haven’t become a DEN STAR yet, why not? The experiences, even if you only participate in one event, will enhance your professional abilities, expand your personal network, and give you valuable information you need to be a successful educator who integrates technology in a useful way.
If you are a DEN STAR, I hope to meet you if I haven’t already! DEN folks are good folks!
