DENliest Catch: STAR Recruitment Form Please complete this form if you have recruited a new STAR Discovery Educator into the DEN community during DENliest Catch (September 26 - December 1, 2008). At the end of the season we will check to make sure that your new recruit has completed all parts of the application process (online portion and event report) and is officially a STAR DE. At that point, we will send out DVDs. Remember, simply completing this form does not guarantee that you will receive your DVDs. Your recruit must officially be a STAR DE by December 1, 2008.

This group is for the Discovery Educator Network. I thought it would be easier to have a group here instead of going to the DEN Ning.

From March 27th to March 29th, 2009 - the education community of Second Life will be hosting a 3 day conference on best practices in education.

Calls for papers will be starting January 19th with a submission deadline no later than March 6th, 2009. Watch this space for more details. All articles will be peer reviewed. Papers accepted for the conference will be published in the Journal for Virtual Studies. Volunteers to help organize and run the conference are being accepted now. All inquiries should be directed to Kevin Feenan at the contact link above for the time being. We should have many of our committee chairs established before the end of January.

A long-time huge supporter of educational effort is the Discovery Channel. Among my favorite stations. The Discovery Channel and also found itself embracing Second Life in a big way with regard to their educational effort and so, they often team-up Second Life activities in conjunction with their television programming, which I personally feel is brilliant! It started with teaming up their web properties with whatever is going on regarding the television schedule. Now, mix-in Second Life and you can experience Shark Week like you never have before, scuba gear included! Spend a little quality television time on the Discovery Channel during 'Shark Week', learn more about it all at the Discovery Channel web site, then take a peek at the Discovery Education Network web and plop in-world to actually experience a bit of what you learn.

Join the network to post all your photos from DEN events.
