On Saturday our ordinary elementary school will become transformed by the brilliant conference organizers of Discovery Education!
I am expecting 20 people to show up to exchange ideas and get inspired by the fabulous DE line-up.

Laura Pilker, the MD Leadership Council chair and Renee Henderson, our DEN events coordinator will be here! We also have a few talented teachers and technology intergration specialists from the ADW schools and Kofi Handon from the Howard University Middle School joining us.

Tracy Weber of Aver Media will be here to showcase their new interactive student response system. We have been testing the product this year in a third grade classroom. We love it!

We will use two interactive classrooms. There is a Mimio tablet available that is kind of fun to play with and we will record the event with a flip and a few digital cameras. I also hope to be able to use etherpad to group blog! Please bring a laptop if you have one.

Telos, my avatar, will be available at 2DP if we think of some trouble to get into there. Aron Sterling might join us there for a little back channel conversation!

It's gonna be great. Can't wait to see you all.
