School will be here before you know it, so if you haven’t seen what Discovery Streaming is offering for the new school year, be sure to check out the summer school webinar selection called: Back to School with Discovery Education 2010. It airs several times including tomorrow at 1 and 3. This webinar will get you caught up to speed on any new changes to Discovery Streaming. I would definitely log in and sign up today.
Also, for those of you who are looking for some great new web 2.0 tools try these links that were shared on the Pennsylvania state blog. These were all links shared by Den Stars at the Discovery Summer Institute. There should be at least one new link that will help you start your school year off right. Enjoy!
