New York DEN

If you’re a STAR DEN educator you have access to a *FREE* blog on the Discovery Educator Network….uh, you did know that didn’t you?  Well, if not, now you do! LOL

Steve Dembo has decided to put together a ‘Be a Better Blogger in Just 30 Days’ challenge and I would STRONGLY encourage all the NY STAR DENers to participate.  If you’ve got a DEN blog, here’s your chance to REALLY make it stand out.  If you’re a STAR DENer and haven’t started a blog yet then here’s you opportunity to do so.

Let’s support each other in this challenge.  If you plan on participating, please list your blog in the Comments area below.  I’ll put myself out there…here’s mine:  Just in Time Tech.  Check it out now, and watch it evolve with the guidance of Steve during the month of November.

Hope to see you in the blogosphere!

The New York DEN may be from New York State but we try to support, grow with, and learn from other educators and DEN members.  Our colleagues in New Jersey are asking for our help.  One of their leadership council members, Bev Plein is in the middle of an election project with her students.  They are plotting data based on an online survey.  If you have a moment please pop on over and take their survey.

 Yahoo!  The Discovery Educator Network in Second Life is celebrating their one year anniversary of the official opening of the DEN in Second Life Headquarters. Just in case you’re new to Second Life, you should know that the Discovery Educator Network has their own building where DEN members can go to socialize and attend professional development events.

Our DEN in SL guides and members are very friendly people and they LOVE to PARTY!

 This anniversary event will take place on August 20, 2008 in the evening.

I’m still not clear on the time, but I’m sure one of our DEN in SL experts will pop in and leave a comment for us.

*If you need help shopping and/or dressing for this event, just give a shout out to any of the DEN SL guides during the week [within Second Life] and they’ll assist you in getting decked out for the party.

Leave a comment if you have any questions about this event or about the DEN in SL.

You can also check out the DEN in Second Life Blog for more information.

Greetings everyone,

Did you know the DEN now has a directory of STAR Discovery Educator Blogs?  I had no idea we could find everyone in one spot.
