The Discovery Education Difference

What makes Discovery Education’s 21st century classroom solution different?

Listen to a special message from Lance Rougeux, the Director of the Discovery Educator Network.

Hear more about the difference the DEN makes
from some of our STAR Discovery Educators.

Anoka-Hennepin Day of Discovery

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.

Eastern Tennessee Day of Discovery

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.

Here are the take-away resources from the day.

Day of Discovery - DeKalb County

It’s been awesome to spend time in DeKalb County, Georgia, with the educators from DeKalb County and the surrounding areas. Thanks to all the educators who attended the Day of Discovery for making my first event in Georgia a terrific one! And a HUGE “thank you” to Georgia Public Broadcasting and DeKalb County Schools for sponsoring the day and Arabia Mountain High School for opening its beautiful facility to host the event.

Since the title of my presentation was “Go Green with Discovery Education streaming” I thought it appropriate to post all the resources from my session online instead of printing paper copies for everyone.
