After tons of suggestions and much deliberation we have narrowed the location of this year’s DEN National Institute down to five possibilities.
- Cruise (San Diego to Mexico)
- Boston, MA
- Monterey, CA
- Las Vegas, NV
- Washington, D.C.
Please take some time and vote for your favorite. The deadline to cast your vote is Friday, February 6, 2009.
Thanks for the opportunity to vote on the location of our DEN LC Institute. They are always great wherever they are located!
Decisions, decisions, decisions! The choices are all sooooo tempting. One thing is certain, regardless of where it is, I know it will be F*A*B*U*L*O*U*S!!! Hmmmmmm Cruise vs. Vegas vs. Cruise vs. Vegas vs. Cruise vs. Vegas……arrrrrrrrrrggggggggghhhhhhh! LOL
I bet you will NEVER guess my vote! LOL : )

Just wondering – If Riptide attends the LC Institute in Silver Spring does that mean that I can attend the National Institute?
I think Riptide should attend the LC and then Fred should attend the National….works for me! LOL Hmmmm, did anyone else notice yet that its’t he SL LC that have the most comments on this post! LOL Come on Lor, Cel, & Beth…let YOUR voices be heard!
Sorry to break the SL spirit. If I have multiple personalities can I do what Rip/Fred is???? I vote for a cruise that begins and ends in Vegas!!!!!!
Choices, choices, Number One has got to be a cruise!!, Second choice would be Bean town!
Woohoo! It will be awesome no matter what! The DEN rocks!
Do we know when the National Institute will happen???
It would be so much fun to go to any of those sites with the DEN folks. 🙂
Decisions, decisions. We had SOOO much fun on our last excursion, but Vegas would be good, too! Either of those. And I third what Rip/Fred says. Can we go to both??? Different learning experiences, right? 🙂
I’m with Teryl… what to choose, what to choose!
I hope I can go to one at least. But the other choices sound interesting too. And more important where will the SL LC retreat be!!
Thanks for the opportunity to VOTE on where the DEN Institute will be this summer. But, for the summertime – you cannot beat BOSTON! It’s got it all!
I agree with Nancy/Lae – Vegas … Cruise … Vegas … Cruise. I won’t get to go to the LC Symposium (I don’t think) so I don’t have to play the Celestia/Elaine ticket! LOL
I am in agreement with all of the above. So many great decisions that involve great options. As I missed the cruise and have never been on one, that would be great. (Although, Vegas sounds wonderful as well.) As far as funding is concerned, the others would be financially easier.
Any of the sites would be fantastic. I have heard really wonderful things about Monterey. Monterey gets my vote.
Thanks so much for the opportunity to vote. I know they all will be great but nothing can beat a cruise.
I agree with you guys, …All options are fantastic.
I shall give my vote to the cruise!
Oh, Mexico
It sounds so simple I just got to go
The sun’s so hot I forgot to go home
Guess I’ll have to go now.
Cruise gets my vote!
Cruises are nice but nothing beats the history and charm of Washington, DC
Okay, I’ll make two choices, too!
I go with Cruise and Monterrey. I’ll be in MD for sure already so would like a west cost to save another air fare!
All choices are great…but I would love to cruise!
I’ve gotta go with the cruise. There’s is nothing else like it when your on the ship with your friends from the DEN!
Hmmmmm, I think Vegas would get me in trouble so I will vote for the cruise
I guess since I have been to all of the other locations except for Monterey, then that one would get my vote. Most recent one was Cabo/San Diego cruise with family for son’s college graduation~ if only I had known! Really though, anywhere, anytime, anyden!
Cruise definitely! The sun, the water, the fun and the DEN…great combo.
First choice is D.C., the second is Monterey. Not to be ungrateful, there is no appeal in going to Vegas in the summer, I can do triple digits staying home.
I think we should do one week at each place! What DEN fun we would have!
I’m hearing the NC won’t be near the time of NECC, so I change my vote to Monterey because it’s really nice and cool there.
Great choices! Thinking there would be many media-gathering opportunities in Vegas with few online interruptions. Would have to buck the trend and go Vegas 1 and Cruise 2.
Will humbly echo previous comments though, just getting to work with the network and learn from everyone would make almost any place great. Thanks!
Great choices! Okay! What about Boston? 🙂
All are great choices. However, the D.C. area is always a great choice.
VEGAS, any time!!! but how are we going to work in this fabulous place????
They all sound great…Just wish it was here already.
Cruise for sure!
I’d love the cruise.
Please hold the conference in Washington D.C. We have so many Discovery Education users in Virginia, I think you’d have a large group wishing to attend if it’s that close to home.
By the way, I’m the Director of Instructional Technology in my school division and our teachers and students love Discovery Education!
I voted for Vegas…but a cruise wouldn’t be punishment for my first National Institute!
A Cruise would be sweet. Vegas would be just as good. NECC is in DC this year so that might take away a little bit. Either way, I hear it will be awesome!
Let’s get going on this! It is a month since the voting due date and still no plans? My District will be out of grant money to send me if you wait much longer. I am new at Streaming and all that Discovery has to offer and I would like to make plans to attend….but when and where?
