“Day of Discovery” in Our Neck of the Woods!
The Northwest DEN is hosting a live event during the Discovery Educator Network second annual Virtual Conference on Saturday, October 25 in beautiful, Mount Vernon, Washington.
The DEN Virtual Conference provides a unique opportunity to learn powerful ways to integrate digital media and Web 2.0 tools into your instruction as well as discover an abundance of resources to expand your own personal learning network.
Last year I attended this event at home in my PJs. This year I am looking forward to the opportunity to share the day with other Northwest educators.
The event will feature virtual sessions from nationally known speakers (see schedule below) and face-to-face sessions with experienced technology leaders. (including a geocaching activity if the weather permits). Attending is FREE and lunch will be provided! All teachers are welcome, although space is limited.
Register here to attend the local event in Mount Vernon, WA. If you can not attend the event in person, make sure to join in via the internet for the Virtual Conference.
