Louisiana DEN

We are linking up with NASA today for a guest session for the in-person event at Evangel.  Evangel has been using the application, “Distance Learning…as only NASA can” at their school for a while and is gracious enough to share the connection with the rest of us!

NASA offers four different programs through the videoconferencing.  NASA believes in engaging the learner so the process is interactive. NASA believes, “Delivering interactive instruction in support of Long-term retention of knowledge. “   They are available before, during, and after school as well as Saturday.  The NASA program is willing to be flexible to help out educators with “one-stop shopping.”  You can reach it at http://dln.nasa.gov

NASA has on-demand programs as well and can schedule a program for your needs.  You can search by subject, keyword, etc.  One example is their program, “Can Shoeboxes Fly?”   Imagine the strength you can add to your lessons and learning with this resource!  They also offer professional development for educators!  Too cool to miss!

Louisiana is hosting 2 locations for the DEN Virtual Conference today.  North LA is trying to beat South LA to the blog post, so here is a pic of us getting started!  Join in anytime today from 9-4 CST at www.bit.ly/DENVC.  The host school, Evangel Christian Academy, rolled out the Jungle Carpet for attendees!  In tune with Discovery Student Adventures, Evangel is using the theme Wild about Discovery with jungle themes throughout!  From our pens and notepads to the jungle around the Smartboard, the Evangel team has the best in-person event!  Thanks to Evangel for all of your hard work and support!  We appreciate it!

Louisiana is getting ready for several upcoming events.  October is a fright-FULL month of activities with Regional TLTC Conferences and the Virtual Conference.  Check here for TLTC information and here for VC information.  Be sure to join the VC online or at an in-person event.  The lineup this year is great and the benefits from investing the time to attend are valuable!  Hope to see you there!
