Discovery Educator Network

Discovery Educator Network

The Discovery Educator Network (DEN) Blog is the home base for a collection of more than twenty regional blogs, each working to fulfill the promise of teacher synergy. The idea behind the cable network's Educator program is to "connect teachers to their most valuable resource -- each other." It's great to see science education enhanced through such a thoughtful use of blogs, discussion boards, pdf's, streaming media, calendaring, and, more fundamentally, a keen sense of how powerful communities can be formed online. If you are an educator who sometimes feels separated from others in your discipline, check out the video introduction to the network or browse the DEN blogs themselves to get a picture of how powerful a little asynchronous media can be.
