Discovery Education Presented By Tracey Coles

What Is Discovery Education? A comprehensive library of standards-based video that can be integrated into K-12 classroom lessons. From core-curriculum subjects to health and P.E., there’s something for every teacher and every student. It is never obsolete, video titles are constantly added throughout the year.

A comprehensive library of standards-based video that can be integrated into K-12 classroom lessons.

From core-curriculum subjects to health and P.E., there’s something for every teacher and every student.

It is never obsolete, video titles are constantly added throughout the year.

Why Discovery Education? Because we want to enhance our lessons and provide our students with concrete real-world experiences. We want them to have the knowledge to understand other people, places, things, and most importantly ideas. Our students should be engaged and experience first-hand what might not ordinarily be possible.

How Can I Do This? Videos can be accessed directly on the Internet, or they can be downloaded for future use. Videos can be downloaded to any storage device such as disk, hard drive, or flash drive: when you want it you got it. Once the video is downloaded, it can be played without being connected to the Internet.
