"I really enjoyed digital storytelling session, my students have already started making photo stories."
- Katie Henderson, El Paso, Texas

"Of course all the content was very good, but it was awesome to be at your headquarters and then to be there at the time of your Planet Green launch, well, that was totally exciting."
- Barb Wagers, Aurora, Colorado

"I can't single it down to one particular session or activity, so I must say that my favorite part was working with the Discovery Education team.
