 * Here's how some STAR Discovery Educators answer that question:**

>
 * Via [|@TechTia] “DEN helps me: Develop & Inspire Students using Content found Online 2 help Visualize Educational Requirements Yearly” (bonus points for the acronym!)
 * Via [|@Daveandcori] “DEN is a community of educators who strive to provide the best education to their students while supporting other educators”
 * Via [|@joecfro] “DEN Helps Me: Unleash my creatvity and the creativity of students to help them achieve at their highest levels.”
 * "My story is one of a middle-aged teacher (who some would call old) trying to engage my reluctant and struggling readers to improve their reading skills. I used whatever technology my school had but I did not have a strong peer group at the time who could help me learn and show me new things. Enter the DEN. I found myself at a DEN Summer Institute completely alone and overwhelmed about what I did not know and what everyone else DID know. Never fear, however, due to the presentations and a group of friendly and helpful people, I began to learn … and I continue to learn. The DEN, archived webinars, virtual conferences, summer institutes, professional learning communities on Edmodo and Twitter, and the people I have met through Discovery have never let me down when I am confused, need a resource, or just want new ideas. I am richer (in the best non-monetary sense) and my students are more engaged due to the journey that began the day I signed up to be a STAR in the DEN. The intelligence, creativity, and commitment to education shines very brightly in the DEN." Robin Talkowski
