New Upgrade!

We've upgraded the DEN site once again, and I think you're going to love what you'll find.

Major highlights are:
1) Total redesign of the front page
* Hot Box
* Featured News item
* Webinar Listings
* User profile box with image and DEN links
2) Educator Resources moved completely into MediaShare
3) User images in Discussion Forums
4) Live Chat with the ability to create sub-rooms on the fly.
5) Event Gallery

We'll be posting more about these changes in the next few days, but I encourage you to do some exploring and try out the new features!

Have fun, and feedback is always welcome!

Nice job, DEN team! I love

Nice job, DEN team! I love the new look. How nice to see all my DEN housekeeping items right there on the top left with my profile link. No more digging around. Much easier to report my events and will help others to report their events and therefore, retain more DEN Stars! I LOVE how the resources will now be (Media)shared! Awesome! It's no secret that we've been using MediaShare and our teachers love it. The DEN Stars are all going to LOVE it, use it and recommend it to their schools and districts, too! Why have we been reinventing the wheel for so long?

Thanks for listening to our feedback! You guys ROCK!!
