It’s great to be back in my home state, Connecticut, today for a training at Waterbury Public Schools.
I graduated from Windsor Locks High School more years ago than I care to admit on this blog and I’m thrilled to have an opportunity to work with Connecticut educators.
Today’s sessions at Henry S. Chase Elementary School will focus on Discovery Education streaming and Discovery Education Science.
In the green spirit, here are a few digital take-away resources for participants.
Don’t forget to visit the Professional Development tab after signing into DE for more great support and integration resources for DE streaming and DE Science. And, be sure to check out all the terrific resources available through the Discovery Educator Network.
I’m at the Eastern Shore Professional Development Conference being hosted at the Worcester Technical High School in Newark, Maryland, today. I will be presenting both a keynote and follow-up concurrent session. Here are the resources from both.
I was thrilled to join Mike Bryant and Steve Dembo at the Anoka-Hennepin Day of Discovery in Minnesota earlier this week. There was so much positive energy I could practically hear bells ringing . . . okay, so maybe that was the fire alarm that forced us to evacuate the building towards the end of the day, yet this was a high-energy event and I thoroughly enjoyed working with the inspiring educators from Anoka-Hennepin.
Here are the take-away resources from my “Thinking Outside the Slide: Non-Linear Multimedia Presentations” session.
The Eastern Tennessee Day of Discovery hosted by Bradley County Schools at Lake Forest Middle School was a phenomenal event. It was presented in coordination with the DEN Fall Virtual Conference, Tech or Treat.
Tim Childers, the TN Leadership Council Blog Chair, posted a terrific summary of the event on the TN blog along with an engaging Animoto video that perfectly encapsulated the positive energy that infused the day.
When my plane landed in Minot, North Dakota, I was treated to my first snowfall of the season. I love winter weather and the beautiful snow that accompanies the chill.

I am facilitating two sessions - Roundtrip Tickets to Anywhere with Discovery Education and Google Earth and Creating Online Learning Communities.

I used Google Earth often when I was in the classroom. I used it to reinforce geographic literacy and engage my high school social studies students with a colorful and interactive data visualization. Today, I’ll be presenting “Two Roundtrip Tickets to Anywhere with Discovery Education and Google Earth” as part of the DEN Summer School webinar series.
Click below to access the resources from this session. The webinar archive will be available on the DEN blog.
VoiceThread is one of my favorite Web 2.0 applications for education and it’s a perfect partner for Discovery Education’s rich media content. I will be featuring VoiceThread during the August 25, 2009, DEN Summer School Webinar.
