The Case of the Fractured Fiend: A Math Lesson Like No Other Matt Monjan (Discovery Education)It was a cold and rainy day when she walked into my office. I could tell she had it all, style, money, and was a good dancer -

she had good algorithm. I asked her what I could do for her and she began to tell me a story, a story that had so much drama

it was full of wordy problems. Then she mentioned the ransom note signed by the Fractured Fiend. My ears perked up but I

had to admit the note was not a good sine. She explained to me that her dear dog, Digit, was now missing and all that she

had to go on was the half of a note left behind. We decided that my fee would be a quarter and I told her not to worry...I was

positive that I would get to the root of the problem.

During this session we'll explore the case by putting the concepts we learned through Discovery Education media on the

case. Using our newfound knowledge, we'll decipher the clues and find out just who is our Fractured Fiend and where he is

hiding the dear dog Digit.

The 21st Century Science Class for the 21st Century Student Patti Duncan (DEN Guru, PA LC member)Today's science class has endless possibilities beyond the textbook. Come spend 50 minutes experiencing science like you

never have before. I will model a science lesson that incorporates a wide array of digital content, web 2.0 tools and

instructional strategies designed to build critical thinkers and problem solvers. The last ten minutes of the session will be for

questions, answers and discussion.

Make Way for Habitats, a Model Lesson Plan Kyle Schutt (Discovery Education)Web 2.0 tools, digital media content, Google Earth field trips, audience response systems, interactive whiteboard lesson

plans...what impact do they have in your daily instruction? Come learn new instructional strategies for integrating all of these

21st Century teaching tools into your next model lesson plan. Well demonstrate new ways to utilize Discovery Education

streaming and Discovery Education Science resources to create interactive lesson plans that support all curricular areas.

Discovery: Beyond the Walls of the Classroom Traci Blazosky (DEN Guru, PA LC member)No permission slips necessary! Join me as we take a trip in Google Earth, seeing how an interactive poster (using Glogster)

can incorporate the DE Builder Tools and DE Streaming. This session will model ways to integrate multimedia while

differentiating instruction and motivating student learning. You'll leave with a new outlook on how Discovery can come aliveand expand beyond the walls of your classroom through interactive posters.

Mashed Media: Old Media, New Web, and Your Own Great Stuff Hall Davidson (Discovery Education)For fantastic, connection-free classroom assets, capture or download Web 2.0 creations, mix with both subject-area resources

and your original creations: video, voice, and images. Explore how content on the web can be captured for editing on your

desktop with both free and low cost tools. Incorporate curriculum-based media in wildly engaging ways. Explore the legality,

the benefits, and lots of engaging examples from Web 2.0 sites. Create on the web, capture locally, and build curriculum-rich

projects and lessons.

Reaching and Teaching Kids with Disabilities: the DE Way Porter Palmer (Discovery Education)Approximately 11% of students are identified as having a disability. Whether youre a general or special education teacher,

kids with disabilities are likely in your classroom. Explore ways to harness the power of Discovery Education to incorporate the

principles of Universal Design for Learning (UDL) and instruct students with different abilities, modalities, and challenges.
