Geocaching Day

Geocaching with teachers in Milford on DEN Geocaching Day.

Boston Harbor

I arrived in Boston today for a week with the Discovery Educator Network.

DEN Leadership Council Gift

The Discovery Educator Network is so good to its leaders. I'm on the Michigan Leadership Council and received this as a gift of appreciation. It's a Starbucks mug filled with instant coffee. I haven't had instant coffee in years, but this stuff is really good. And the mug kept it nice and hot. Thanks DEN!

DEN STAR Gift

The Discovery Educator Network (DEN) sent out gifts of appreciation for those who provide professional development for DiscoveryStreaming. I love the product and love my new T-shirt! I wish more teachers would "see" beyond the textbook.

Today was the Discovery Educator Network Geocaching Day. 22 teams across the nation met to geocache together. The Michigan DEN had two teams: one in Commerce and the other in Battle Creek/Kalamazoo. The Commerce team had a blast! We found 5 caches and hiked some beautiful trails in Proud Lake Recreation Area. We saw snakes, spiders, frogs, herons, and of course lots of mosquitos. We nearly lost a couple of teachers who wandered off, but we found them before too long. Several of the team were newbies, and now I think they are hooked. It was a fun day of networking, learning together, with great exercise for all. Our travel bug has been planted and we hope it travels very soon!
