About the Project
Welcome to the Discovery Educator Network Earth and Space Virtual Project, where together we will launch into an extraordinary learning experience.
Over the course of the next six weeks, you and your students will have the opportunity to connect with classrooms from across the country and participate in a series of challenges, also known as DEN Missions.
We also have a variety of webinars planned for your students to help them with the missions. The webinars will be student-centered tutorials on how to use Google Earth, PhotoStory and Audacity. We hope you are as excited as we are about the project.
From DEN Missions, to lively discussions, and oh, by the way, we forgot to mention the exclusive webinar with a Discovery Science Channel producer, this will be a great experience for you and your students. Stay tuned for more and don't forget to visit the Collaboration Forum.
For classes who participate in the project, we will be awarding special “Discovery Earth and Space Class Packs.”
