DEN "Trick or Treat" Virtual Conference


Welcome Great Pumpkin

DEN's Fall Virtual Conference takes place on October 24, from 9am - 4pm.  I've been participating for two years now and really enjoy the information I receive.  In total there are 7 one hour sessions full of information.  I encourage you to try this FREE and easy way to grow your professional development network and learn about some FREE ideas to use in your classroom. 

One of the ideas I've learned about from past DEN experiences is adding web 2.0 tools to DE Streaming, which I then came up with the idea of using these tools with Schoolfusion.  I've also learned how to change closed captioning on DE Streaming videos and how to insert DE Streaming videos into Google Earth.  The list could on. Okay...I know it's a Saturday, but take one hour and try one session.  Here's a suggestion: Try the 11 a.m. session on "Thinking Outside the Slide".  This sounds like a session on PowerPoint and I'm sure will include some tricks on how to better use PowerPoint.  It's late enough that you can sleep in and early enough before your day really starts.

I'm intrigued by the session at 1 p.m. entitled "What on Earth is a Gloggle?"  Sounds like it could be a mix of Glogster, Blogging, and Google Earth?  What do you think it could be?
