Dedication to teaching can be defined as getting up at 3:00 am to make my flight from Washington to Montana the Big Ski Country. Today I will be joining 125 colleagues to begin a week of presentations, collaborations and brainstorming all with the goal to engage our 21st century learner. I am on my way to the Discovery Education Network Summer Institute (DENSI 2012) held at Montana State University in Bozeman. I will be updating this blog on a regular basis please visit often.
