Alan November hosts a terrific workshop, Building Learing Communities otherwise known as “BLC10″. Discovery Education is providing those attending the Leadership Symposium with the opportunity to attend a portion of the proceedings. I am thrilled to be here. Thanks Discovery! Between today and the coming days I hope to blog about my experiences.
I just attended a stimulating session with Michael Lambert from Concordia International School in Shanghai, PRC. He discussed the use of digital media with students. He presented several samples of videos, photographs, poster creations, drawings, mind maps and more. He periodically tossed out website suggestions that he utilizes and suggestions from the crowd. You can find my notes in Google Docs here.
I had a great vantage point for this morning’s keynote. Testing out a new flipcam as part of a pilot project. Hopefully the quality captured will be worth sharing after rendering. The keynote was presented by Dr. Michael Wesch, Kansas State University.
Time to get back to #BLC10…

The more time I spend connecting with the DEN, the more impressed I am with the relationships that are formed. There are so many wonderful individuals that comprise the DEN. I was just invited to attend an event “Trends, Tools and Tactics for 21st Century Learning”. Funny, I recognize the name of the presenter – Kevin Honeycutt. He’s been involved with Second Life DEN events. I’m there.
Today, I just RSVPed for “Cablevision’s Day of Discovery”. It will be held on August 24th in Bethpage, NY. This is a collaboration between Cablevision and Discovery. We will be focusing on 21st Century Skills and technology integration. I see Steve Dembo will be the keynote speaker. Through my virtual travels on the DEN websites I certainly feel like I have gotten to know Mr. Dembo, or should I say Mr. DEN.
I have truly enjoyed the friendships that I have made through the DEN. I look forward to meeting and “meeting” more of you. And to those I have already become familiar, I thank you for your support and assisting me in growing my PLN.
I’d love to see you at the Cablevision Day of Discovery here in NY. cablevisiondodinviteaugust24.pdf
