3-7-07 Discovery Ed and Geocache Dinner
I was invited to go out to dinner with the folks from Discovery Education. I am a STAR Discovery Educator. I had a WONDERFUL time talking about education, technology, media and more with these very innovative thinkers. These people are my teachers. I read and interact with their blogs and discussion boards daily. It was great to talk with them in person. In addition to just having fun and enjoying the conversation I also made some really nice connections. I am really excited about the possible opportunity to go to a Discovery Educators Workshop this summer. The application will be coming out in a few weeks. I would love that opportunity. It was funny during the dinner, we were passing around a video iPod to look at a video, playing songs and taking pictures on telephones and swaping files with flash drives. I was in my element in the company of a bunch of cool technogeeks...:)
I am the Technology Professional Development Specialist for the Mt. Vernon School District. I've had the blessing to teach in some cool places in my 20 years of teaching including, the Navajo Nation, Texas, Ecuador, Kenya, Indonesia and now beautiful Mt Vernon,Washington. I love using technology to create, connect and communicate.
