Thanks to the hard work and preparation of Matt Monjan and the whole group at Discovery Communications, a group of 17 FCPS teachers were all treated to a great day of presentations, keynotes, and breakout sessions from Scott Kinney, Hall Davidson, and Dennis Swain. 75+ teachers from the DC area attended the day long training which also included a pretty nice breakfast spread and lunch (there’s always good food to be had at Discovery!)
The day started with a keynote presenation by Scott Kinney about the Media Evolution. In the afternoon Hall Davidson shared his exploration of how cell phones will be used in the classroom of the future in his presenation Cell Phones in Education. The three breakout sessions we attended were PhotoStory & MovieMaker, 50 Ways to Integrate Discovery Education, and PowerPoints that Pop!
Great stuff that was shared with perfect timing – now I’m all jazzed up and ready to go back to school with a refreshed bag of tricks to share with teachers and students to make learning fun with Discovery Education Streaming.
