Passcode/New User New users in each school building will need to know the unique 8-character Passcode that has been assigned to their school.  When they enter the Passcode and click the “Login” button, they will be taken to an account set-up screen.
Setting Up Accounts This is the form you will see when you have entered your school Passcode. The key field in this form is the “Username” field since your log-in name must be unique to the entire Discovery Education  streaming  subscriber base.   Before you click the “Continue” button, be sure that you are familiar with the Terms of Use and click the box that signifies that you agree to the subscription terms.
streaming  Homepage From the  streaming  homepage, you can search for digital media by keyword, subject, grade level, media pack, or curriculum standards
Video Search Results The video search results page includes a thumbnail image, content title, # of segments, and video length. “ Roll over” a title to review more information including a description, preview, copyright, and producer and quick links to view curriculum standards or add to My Content.
Full Video Description You can stream the full video by clicking on the “Play” button  , save the video on your computer by right clicking on the “Download” button  and selecting “Save Target As”, or add the file to your “My Content” libraries.   The More to Explore section includes content that is relevant to the selected title. All videos have a description with information about the length of the video and shows the number of segments available. Note the ability to generate a “printer friendly” page and rate the content .
Video Segments Video Segments divide the selected video into short segments that can be streamed or downloaded for use with presentations, classroom projects, and student activities. Click on a segment to play or right click on the “Download” icon to save video segments to your computer. Click the drop down box next to “Add selected items to” box if you wish to include the segments in assignments, quizzes, or Playlists in your “My Content” materials .
Citations Since all of the digital media on the Discovery Education  streaming  site is protected by copyright, it is important to include the proper citations for the videos, images, and articles you download from the site.  The “Citations” tab displays the essential information in three accepted formats. Just copy the data from this page and paste it into your presentation and lesson files.
Related Materials When you click the “Related Materials” tab, you will see links to a variety of resources including Teacher Guides and Blackline Masters.
Media Settings The Media Settings controls are located directly under the viewer and give you the ability to enable the closed caption text display and select the media player you prefer to use to stream or download a video.
My Content My Content is a new and versatile space that you can use to organize personal Playlists, assignments, quizzes, and writing prompts as well as share resources with colleagues.
Teacher Center The Teacher Center contains a variety of instructional resources and tools..
Assignment Builder With the Assignment Builder, you can create online activities that feature videos, images, encyclopedia   articles, and calendar events that you select from the Discovery Education  streaming  libraries. Students visit the Student Center to access these materials.
Quiz Builder With the Quiz Builder, you can modify existing quizzes or create your own online assessments using digital resources from the Discovery Education  streaming  libraries. As with projects created with the Assignment Builder, students visit the Student Center to access these materials or log into their own student accounts to access assigned quizzes or assignments by their teacher.
Writing Prompt Builder The Writing Prompt Builder provides a tool to let you create your own writing activities using digital images from the Discovery Education  streaming  library. You can use the completed prompts directly from the site or give students access through the Student Center.
My Classrooms With My Classrooms, you can build and manage your classrooms and assignments. Students visit the Student Center to access these materials.
Calendar The Calendar tool is a great way to locate videos that are associated with important events in history, prominent people, and commemorative events and cultural celebrations.
Lesson Plan Library Choose from over hundreds of full lesson plans created to accompany selected videos in the Discovery Education  streaming  library. The lessons can be downloaded or added to My Content, and most are available in both PDF and Microsoft Word formats.
Thematic Focus Themes Each week, a new Thematic Focus is posted on the site and each unit includes discussion guides, lesson plans, media links, student activities, and related materials. Here is a small sampling of the Social Studies themed units that you can download and use with your students.
Atlas Inspired by Discovery Channel's landmark ATLAS series, Discovery Education  streaming  provides a unique video guide to our world. Featuring exclusive clips from Discovery's ATLAS series, this interactive map provides thousands of videos that show off the wonders of countries ranging from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. Zoom in to each country and learn about its culture, government, history, and the natural world.
Implementation Strategies and Software Integration
Software Applications You can use hyperlinking or embedding techniques to integrate Discovery Education  streaming  clips into projects made with many software applications.
Downloaded Segments There are three common ways that you can use downloaded video segments: Standalone files:  Just double-click on the file icons to open the preferred media player to play the segments. Hyperlinks:  Create hyperlinks in most standard applications to link words and pictures to video resources that you wish to add to your lessons. Embedded Video:  Insert video segments directly into documents and slides and view the segments without using a media player. Hyperlinking In software applications like Word, PowerPoint, Inspiration, and many others, users can click on defined  hyperlinks  to view video segments with a specified media player.   Embedded Video PowerPoint, AppleWorks, and Keynote are among the software products that allow you to embed video files right onto the pages and slides that you have created:
Implementation Models ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],There is no single preferred or correct way to use Discovery Education  streaming  digital resources in the classroom or computer lab, and teachers are encouraged to explore all available technology resources to determine the best ways to implement these resources. Here are some common ways that teachers, Media Specialists, and technology coordinators use Discovery Education  streaming  materials:
Teaching Strategies During student presentations, mute the sound and have students write their own narrations for video segments. Play segments with sound but without video display; encourage students to listen for details and unique sounds before they write. Even with short segments, stop to discuss specific frames in the video or use the still images for writing prompts. Some Teaching Strategies to Consider Create lessons and projects in which students are always actively involved in the viewing process and follow-up activities. Try creating individualized projects that students can access on “learning centers” in the classroom or computer labs. Be sure to pose questions or prepare thought-provoking “lesson starters” before viewing to actively engage students.
Copyright Issues No video editing software is permitted except for those titles that have been designated as “Editable Content.” Students are allowed to keep projects containing video segments in their electronic portfolios if used for demonstration purposes. Teachers may keep video files and projects on disks and servers as long as the Discovery Education streaming subscription is current. Protect the content, especially when creating web pages, so that only subscribers are able to see the video files. Converting digital video to analog format such as VHS cassettes is not allowed—only digital devices may be used. Use the dynamic citations provided with Discovery Education streaming digital media when you cite video resources and support materials.  Protecting Discovery Education  streaming  Content
Professional Development and Training Materials
Professional Development The Professional Development segment of the site is designed to connect users with essential training materials, interactive training modules, and a variety of professional development opportunities.
Live Online Sessions Web-based training sessions called “Webinars” allow users from across the country to participate in sessions covering topics such as digital storytelling, WebQuests, and many other areas of interest.
Trainer’s Toolkit The Trainer’s Toolkit section of the site is the place to find all of the essential documents and materials that you can share with colleagues during workshops and presentations
Discovery Educator Network The Discovery Educator Network is a community of active Discovery Education  streaming  users who share their expertise with colleagues and participate in regional and national professional development events
Technical Issues and Support Strategies
Tech Tips Each minute of downloaded video will require about 1.8 Mb of storage space on hard drives or other storage media.  A building with a dedicated T-1 line could accommodate 6 users Discovery Education streaming video with no buffering assuming no other users. Home users with 56k modems can easily search and use support materials; downloads are possible but will be slow. Windows Media Player (version 10) and Apple QuickTime Player (version 6) are recommended for best results. Minimum screen resolution should be set at 800 x 600; you will get better results if you set screen resolution at 1024 x 768. You may need to install updated “codecs” if the media player is not properly playing the audio or video components. Technology Information to Know
Access Image ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object]
File Storage ,[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],[object Object],Since all Discovery Education  streaming  media has been licensed in digital format, users are only permitted to save downloaded video files, segments and images to digital storage media. The following are some of the common options for saving and transferring video segments and digital images:
Download Strategies Help to eliminate duplicate downloads by creating shared folders on the file servers for grade levels or subject areas.   Use the administrative tools to restrict Discovery Education streaming and downloading hours if bandwidth limitations are a concern. Limit file names to 8 characters or fewer and use file extensions to insure that projects will work on Macintosh and PC platforms. Make duplicate project folders when students work in computer labs to accommodate multiple “hits” on the same files. Consider using the Network Manager or Local Host options when serving large numbers of users on a shared network. Downloading and File Storage Strategies

  • 28. Teaching Strategies During student presentations, mute the sound and have students write their own narrations for video segments. Play segments with sound but without video display; encourage students to listen for details and unique sounds before they write. Even with short segments, stop to discuss specific frames in the video or use the still images for writing prompts. Some Teaching Strategies to Consider Create lessons and projects in which students are always actively involved in the viewing process and follow-up activities. Try creating individualized projects that students can access on “learning centers” in the classroom or computer labs. Be sure to pose questions or prepare thought-provoking “lesson starters” before viewing to actively engage students.
  • 29. Copyright Issues No video editing software is permitted except for those titles that have been designated as “Editable Content.” Students are allowed to keep projects containing video segments in their electronic portfolios if used for demonstration purposes. Teachers may keep video files and projects on disks and servers as long as the Discovery Education streaming subscription is current. Protect the content, especially when creating web pages, so that only subscribers are able to see the video files. Converting digital video to analog format such as VHS cassettes is not allowed—only digital devices may be used. Use the dynamic citations provided with Discovery Education streaming digital media when you cite video resources and support materials. Protecting Discovery Education streaming Content

  • 35. Technical Issues and Support Strategies
  • 36. Tech Tips Each minute of downloaded video will require about 1.8 Mb of storage space on hard drives or other storage media. A building with a dedicated T-1 line could accommodate 6 users Discovery Education streaming video with no buffering assuming no other users. Home users with 56k modems can easily search and use support materials; downloads are possible but will be slow. Windows Media Player (version 10) and Apple QuickTime Player (version 6) are recommended for best results. Minimum screen resolution should be set at 800 x 600; you will get better results if you set screen resolution at 1024 x 768. You may need to install updated “codecs” if the media player is not properly playing the audio or video components. Technology Information to Know

  • 39. Download Strategies Help to eliminate duplicate downloads by creating shared folders on the file servers for grade levels or subject areas. Use the administrative tools to restrict Discovery Education streaming and downloading hours if bandwidth limitations are a concern. Limit file names to 8 characters or fewer and use file extensions to insure that projects will work on Macintosh and PC platforms. Make duplicate project folders when students work in computer labs to accommodate multiple “hits” on the same files. Consider using the Network Manager or Local Host options when serving large numbers of users on a shared network. Downloading and File Storage Strategies

Editor's Notes

  1. This presentation can be used in traditional linear fashion or be run as an interactive slide show. By clicking on either the icons above or the Contents Headings, you can navigate to those specific segments of the presentation. Many of the slides have text boxes, arrows, or pointers that are timed to display automatically. Note that there is an icon with the word “Home” at the bottom of each slide in the main portion of the presentation. When you click on this icon, you will be returned to this menu slide.
  2. One main point to emphasize on this slide is the fact that the same Passcode is used by all users in a specified school building. Also, emphasize that new users should only enter the Passcode on this log-in page—a common mistake that many new users make is to enter their Passcode and type in a preferred username and password. Once users have created accounts, they will not need to use the Passcode again. Each time they return to the site, they use the username and password they stipulated when they created their accounts.
  3. The purpose of this slide is to illustrate the unitedDiscovery Education streaming account set-up screen. Four main points to emphasize when discussing the process of setting up accounts include: The “username” field is the most critical since the desired username for each new account must be unique to the entire unitedDiscovery Education streaming user database. If a new user is having trouble defining a unique username, he/she may want to try appending the desired username with a number or some other designation that may unique to the user’s school or district. It is not mandatory to enter information in all fields—only those with an asterisk are required fields. The click box in front of the phrase “I have read and agree to the Terms of Use” must be selected before a new account can be created. Clicking on the “Terms of Use” hyperlink will display a page with all terms and requirements. It is a good idea to recommend to new users that they select the option to receive the monthly newsletter. It is an e-mail update that includes information about new video titles, updated web site features, technology grants and conferences, and implementation strategies.
  4. The main point to emphasize while working with this slide is the fact that the search tools work differently. Note: This is one of several points in the presentation that it would be effective to open up the live unitedDiscovery Education streaming web site and demonstrate the look and functionality of the search tools. By keeping both this PowerPoint window and the browser window open throughout the presentation, it will be easy to switch between views by using the application icons on the Taskbar (Windows) or the Dock (Macintosh).
