Discovery Education offers an array of virtual field trips and a program called DE Docs for students. Virtual field trips offer dynamic and interactive experiences that take students behind the scenes of unique destinations connection them to real-world problems through engaging, multi-media content. DE Docs are long-form, documentary style videos that provide an in-depth exploration of specific topics, offering new perspectives and a focused narrative to deepen students’ understanding.

Upcoming premieres for DE Docs and virtual field trips are shown on the page. Knowing that these modern documentary style videos and interactive field trips have a premiere date helps create lesson plans where prerequisite knowledge may need to be taught before students are ready for these videos.

Discovery Education also has many more features for educators such as a puzzle section, where you can create an array of various puzzles as well as use ones that were already created. This will be important in my classroom because puzzles are a good way to get the brain working at the start of class. I think educators should start class with something to ease students in rather than starting immediately with the lesson. These puzzles could also be collaborative to help build interpersonal relationships in my classroom and to help foster a community.
