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.
Here are the take-away resources from the day.
