Three FUSD Teachers Participate in Discovery Educator SymposiumKerri Long-Campbell, Bev Matheson and Melanie Ruiz, teachers at Dorothy Grant Elementary School, along with 75 other educators from across the country, recently spent five days at Bentley University in Waltham, Massachusetts participating in the Discovery Educator Network Leadership Council Symposium. The event, which was held July 11-16, was hosted by Discovery Education, a division of Discovery Communications, whose networks include Discovery Channel and Animal Planet. Ms. Long-Campbell, Ms. Matheson and Ms. Ruiz are members of the California Discovery Educator Network (DEN) Leadership Council. As one of more than 20 state councils nationwide, the California DEN Leadership Council supports educators’ efforts to integrate educational technology and digital content into curriculum through a variety of activities, including professional development workshops, networking events and regular communications on emerging technology and best practices. In addition, the California DEN Leadership Council authors a blog that serves as an information clearinghouse on state-specific education issues. Together, these activities assist teachers across California, regardless of their familiarity with technology, as they implement the new high-tech tools available to improve student achievement. “We’re pleased that the annual Discovery Educator Network Leadership Council Symposium brought together top educators from across the country for a unique opportunity to grow their educational technology skills,” said Discovery Education Director Lance Rougeux. “Discovery Education is committed to nurturing and empowering today’s educators, and their enthusiasm for integrating digital media and technology in the classroom, and for sharing their skills with peers across the state, supports California teachers as they seek to help each student reach their fullest academic potential.
