__Discovery Education__
Discovery Education provides a large number of resources, the most well known of which is DE //streaming// but is so much more than simply streaming video. I have recently been privileged enough to be elected to the Kansas DEN Leadership Council. If you ever have any questions about utilizing all of the amazing resources provided by DE, or would like to contribute your own ideas to this page, please feel free to contact me via email.

DEN stands for Discovery Educator Network, and it is exactly that - a network of educators that share resources and ideas with each other. DEN members have access to a number of blogs, webinars, educator resources, and forums that are all geared toward digital media, collaborating, networking and improving the educational experience of students.
 * What is the DEN?**

STAR DEN members have access to all the above mentioned and SO MUCH MORE! STAR educators have their own personal blog hosted by DE, can get access to training kits to use for professional development, weekly emails/newsletters from DE highlighting events and promotions from DE, ability to participate in exclusive promotions and contests, and the opportunity to attend local, regional, and national DE events.
 * So what's a STAR Discovery Educator?**

In order to become a STAR, you'll need to log in to http://discoveryeducation.com and click the "Become a STAR" link. There you'll watch a quick video about becoming a a STAR and maintaining that status. Then there will be a brief quiz over the video and you'll be expected to hold an "event." Now don't be scared, a DE event can be something small like having lunch with three or four educator friends and discussing with them some of the features of Discovery Education. Then you log back in to DE and log that event. That's all you have to do to gain access to all the amazing resources available to STARs! Then to maintain your status as a STAR, simply hold two more "event" (remember that an event doesn't have to be a big training) and report those events in DE.
 * Well then how do I become a STAR?**
