This blog post will be about a platform called Discovery Education.

Discovery Education offers virtual field trips to teachers and students in the classroom. This tool is for educators to use so students can learn and gain experiences while sitting at their seats.

I researched this tool more in depth because it provides a companion guide, offers hands on learning activities and it is free!

What I found useful about Discover Education is the relevant content it shares and the teaching tools it offers teachers all while being on one platform.

It is:

When logged in you can search and find over 200,000 resources offered of all grade levels and subjects. It makes your search easy and accessible because you can filter out certain categories.

It comes in handy because you can assign and share content directly with your students.

Example:

In the long run this tool helps educators save time, quiz students, allows you to create activities and present them using the studio feature, offers literacy tools and helps teachers grow professionally.

This platform will be used in my classroom as a hands on activity after watching videos and following the companion guide. This will test students’ knowledge on what they watched and have learned. I also plan on using the projects feature to find scientific and engineering project ideas.
