The event, hosted by the Discovery Educator Network, is designed for educators who use Discovery Education’s instructional resources “to learn new, classroom-tested techniques and strategies for igniting each student’s innate curiosity,” the company said.

Themed “Igniting the Classroom Spark,” the 2023 Fall VirtCon will feature live, community-led sessions showcasing how educators use Discovery Education’s content and resources to “awaken student curiosity in authentic and diverse ways.”

All educators — regardless of their level of familiarity with the DE platform — are welcome; the conference “will focus on a variety of topics of importance to today’s classroom teachers including active learning, using ready-to-use activities, and the gamification of learning,” Discovery Education said.
