The New Adventure – Summer 2009 {By: Steve Sokoloski}

Hello DEN World! This is my first official post of my DEN Blog after becoming a Discovery Star Educator. I have by my own admission been a “lurker” for the last couple of years. I have certainly taken advantage of what the DEN membership has had to offer but had not pushed myself to go the extra bit and become a DEN Star. This spring, for a bunch of reasons (personal, professional, district and state based) it has become the time to take the next step.  One of my summer goals is to do some writing here in my DEN blog and share the adventure about what I have learned about being a DEN Star.
