I according to DEN, I've tweeted over 132 times sharing Discovery Ed resources and posted over 100 blog posts on the DEN Blog.<br />(I was also honored last year with a DENny for my contributions to the DEN blog. I'm truly humbled by the awards).<br /><br />Connecticut had a good showing last night, with Howard Gunther winning a DENny for <a href="http://educationaltechnologyguy.blogspot.com/2012/01/den-scicon-great-learning-experience.html">Best DEN Event for the SCICon Event held at the Mark Twain house</a> and Joe Fromme, the CT Leadership Council's fearless leader, winning a DENny for Leadership. Lynn Reedy and I were also finalists to be DEN Guru's this year and, while we weren't selected, were both honored to be part of such a distinguished group of educators that were the 12 finalists.<br /><br />It was a fun event and I love the people in the DEN and from Discovery Education that I get to work with.<br /><br />Discovery Education and the Discovery Educator Network do so much for educators and education. They are a dedicated group of educators and professionals that work to support educators in their job of educating our youth.<br /><br /><br /><img src="https://encrypted-tbn3.google.com/images?q=tbn:ANd9GcS1gblmdpE9miZcGanw8XU2k-GpWn9RhprEE0xAdmf5_Hb6an0Zaw" /><br /><br />Why don't you join the <a href="http://educationaltechnologyguy.blogspot.com/2012/01/discovery-educator-network-great.html">Discovery Educator Network</a> and become a STAR Educator!<br /><br />More about the Discovery Educator Network: <a href="http://community.discoveryeducation.com/about.cfm">http://community.discoveryeducation.com/about.cfm</a><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br /><br />
