Spring Into Action at the DEN Virtual Conference!
Saturday, April 25, 2009
9 AM to 3 PM (EDT)
Over 1000 educators joined us for the DEN Virtual Conference, Spring Into Action. During this unique (and free) professional development event educators had the flexibility to attend online or in-person at one of many regional events hosted by the DEN Leadership Councils.
The day featured a special presentation from Chris Lehmann, Principal of the Science Leadership Academy in the School District of Philadelphia. Entitled Building School 2.0, Lehmann’s presentation examined ideas of constructivist pedagogy and the use of 21st century tools to create schools that are engaging, caring and relevant places of learning for everyone involved.

Sowing Seeds of Success: More Projects, Ideas and Tips from STAR Discovery Educators
Great! Is there a schedule of repeat broadcasts available for the West coast?
Are the Star tips sessions two unique sessions or broadcast twice?
We’re prepping our schedule for a local gathering – thank you, Vicki in AZ
Hi, Vicki.
We’ll have all the sessions archived, but we’re not repeating live during the day this time. However, the STAR sessions are two unique sessions with different leads and different STARs.
Lance
Hi Lance
Who are the STARs?
Justin is leading the 12 pm and Mike B. is leading the 3 pm session. Would you like to present? 4 STARs per session so you’ll have 10 minutes.
You mention “local” regional onsite locations, where are these places? Where do we find information about the actual locations?
Thanks
Jutti, check your state’s LC blog to see.
I did. Nothing posted there.
LOL! I love the validation math! Good thing it’s not trig! I’m a little rusty! ; o )
@Jutti: When you go to the registration page you will see a drop down of the 15 in-person events (city and state). More information will be posted as the local organizers finalize the agendas, but if you register for an in-person event they will send you info as well.
I’m interested in this virtual conference, but can’t do the whole day. Can I register and only do part of it?
@Christine: Absolutely.
O this is GREAT! Would I be able to do the same thing and how do I register?
The New York DEN will be hosting face to face events on Long Island and in Scarsdale. We hope to see you there!
O this is GREAT! Would I be able to do the same thing and how do I register?
I would be interested in seeing a webcast of this event, however I did not see any Canadian sites listed. What would be the cost? I teach general science and biology in a senior high school (10 – 12).
@Heather: the sites listed are the in-person gatherings our STAR Discovery Educators host, but most people just participate in the virtual component from home. It’s completely free! Just go to the registration page and sign up. You’ll receive directions via email on how to join the webcast 🙂
How many PLU’s will we recieve for participating the whole day?
Can this be applied to professional development hours and how?
@Jill and Karen: You are more than welcome to pursue PD hours/PLUs but we don’t have a formal mechanism in place to facilitate that.
My principal may count these hours for our professional development trade days, if I can prove I ‘attended’ the sessions. Any suggestions? I assume we don’t get a certificate at the end…
In reference to the partial day event, if we can only be present for part of the day, can we also see the presentations later? If so, how? Also, is Illuminate being used to see the presentations?
I’m a 6 grade Language Arts teacher in a bilingual school in Buenos Aires Argentina. I integrate IT in my lessons and I would like to know if I can attend this course on line and what the cost is.
Thanking you in advance and waiting for a prompt reply,
Sincerely
Alejandra Quaglia
@Charles: it’s via Webex, drop in whenever you can.
@Alejandra: ¡Bienvenida! It is free, gratis! Please register and join us. You can attend and tango in the privacy of your own casa.
I tried several times last week to register and am not sure if I was successful. Would you please check and let me know?
Thanks,
Dedra

I can’t seem to register for the virtual conference…
I didn’t receive the info for attending the Virtual (not in person) conference. I only received info about attending the Long Island face-to-face. Can I get info on the virtual conference?

I was really enjoying the conference, lost the connection completely, and cannot get back in. I was really looking forward to hearing Kathy Schrock. I will watch for more of this type of thing again. Thanks so much.
Where can we find the archived sessions from the April 25th Virtual Conference?
I am so grateful. I attended this conference at the GPB building. I felt like a lot was going on. This series of posts will be very helpful.
The morning presentations by the STAR groups does not seem to be working
Sowing Seeds of Success: Projects, Ideas and Tips from STAR Discovery Educators. I saw this one but want to see again. Is it going to be available or is there a text version I could get?
Steve had suggested that we download the files for better quality and to be able to read the chat…
BUT how do we do that? Are they also uploaded to Media Share?
I can’t seem to view the m4vs, and they don’t seem to have an active link. Help?
Links are still note live. I had my DEN star teacher, Jennifer Hand try to help me.
Please help.
