Discovery+Education+Streaming



 //What resource has full lenth videos, videos segments, songs, articles from WorldBook, clipart, photos, lesson plans and more? // Why Discovery Education Streaming, of course!!! Through DE Streaming, teachers have access to thousands and thousands of resources, available for use in the classroom. Resources can be located using a keyword search, or found correlated based on the Virginia standards. Teachers can add resources to their Content Manager (AKA "favorites") or downloading is no longer required.

Students also have a log in account so they have access to the same great resources. What a great way to expose students to online searching, within a safe, secure, reliable source such as Discovery Education. Students can show what they know by creating rich, engaging, multimedia activities supporting the curriculum.

 DE Streaming also has an online learning component where teachers can create quizzes, writing prompts and assignments. Students are given a unique code that they use to log into the site to access their "work". If it's a quiz, DE streaming grades it and emails the teacher the student's score.

With online learning, what a great way to encourage students to do homework! Instead of the traditional means of a paper-pencil assignment, students could log into DE Streaming to find a video segmnet or a photo that supports a concept being studied in the classroom. Students could log into DE Streaming to watch a video and write 3-5 good questions; or they could watch the video and answer questions that would then be the topic of discussion in class the next day. What about students who don't have a computer or internet access at home? These students could complete the assignment during a library visit, using the computers in the classroom computer center, or with Mrs, Hingerty during a "lunch bunch" type session.
