Finally, “things are starting to click”

Things are starting to click… if you have had problems with the DEN or StreamlineSC page please accept Discovery’s apologies. The issues seem to be clearing up as I type. I myself have had some frustrations to deal with … no STAR status or blog access BUT the folks at Discovery made it all ok. Brad, Jannita, and especially Steve really took care of me and the issues with the page. I just wanted to send a big THANK YOU to the Discovery team for helping us get through this web page conversion.  

Discovery Connect Webinar: Build It Bigger

Danny Don’t forget that next Thursday, September 13th at 1 PM (EST) is the Discovery Connect webinar with Danny Forster, host of Build It Bigger.  If you go to the Build it Bigger website you can show your students a webisode or two from the show to get them ready for a fun, interactive experience with Danny. 

We’d love to have Danny answers your questions, so please send Matt (matt_monjan@discovery.com) anything you want Danny to answer during the webinar.  We’ll even take a few live questions from students around the country during the webinar.  But, we need those questions in advance. 

See you next Thursday!

What are you doing this summer?

So school is just about out across the state of South Carolina… what are you doing this summer? Going to NECC? Heading to the beach? Working on your next degree?

Take a moment and let us know how you are spending your summer in the comments section!

Me, I am working through the summer… no longer do I get to sleep in on a Monday in June or July. BUT I also have a couple GREAT opportunities… I am heading to Silver Spring, MD for the DEN National Institute in a couple weeks. How cool is that? The day after I return home from MD I will be repacking my bags and heading to the NECC in Atlanta. I will be sure to share all of the exciting things going on at each location via the blog.

No big vacations planned at this point but I am sure I will find time to sit on a beach somewhere is SC. 

So back to you… what are you going this summer?

End of Summer SC DEN Event- Will you be in Cola-town?

Hey, are you heading to the SceTV workshops July 31- Aug 2 in Columbia? Your SC Leadership Council is trying to schedule a dinner event for all of us to gather and kick off the new school year. (OK, I know the school year is just ending for some of you!) Let us know if you will be in Columbia on the evening of July 31.

Even if you are not going to the SCeTV workshop and you will be in town plan to JOIN US!

Please comment to this post and let us know when you will be in town! Looking forward to meeting you or seeing you again.

More details to come when we know which night to plan for!

Feed the fish

As school ends… here is a very relaxing way to begin the summer. Please feed the fish. Thanks to the GeekyMomma blog. Just move your mouse around and click to drop food for them to eat.

Training resources from DEN

Matt Monjan has informed us that they have some surplus in the warehouse of some training materials…. these are not included in the training kits and would be great to order for any events coming up in the next 6 months…. great for back to school trainings….they come in packs of ten (10).
