On a cold, rainy day, I sat at my desk. Trying to surf, using Google at best. I sat there with Google, we sat there we two, and I thought how I wish I could surf easier too. All my sites are in reach, yet so far away, it seems more like work, rather than play. [...]
Just as I tell teachers that Discovery Education is so much more than merely videos, the program is not just for classroom teachers but for all educational settings. That includes the library– my particular setting! This wealth of resources is continued by the DEN, another place with something for all educators, from the core teachers in the regular classroom [...]

This week we’ll explore the new content surrounding the 2012 Presidential Campaign that has been added to Discovery Education. Naturally, I wanted to see how we could extend this theme so I chose to evaluate three different sites that help you build infographics. To bring it full circle – I show you how to take [...]
This week is Open House Week at the DEN, so I decided to share what I like about the DEN. Discovery Education is an excellent resource for educators. They have great fee-based products (Streaming, Assessment, Science and more) and over 30 free resources available for educators. The Discovery Educator Network is also a great resource for educators where [...]
I love Discovery Education, especially being part of the DEN. Of course, the subscription to the service and all it affords, including the ability to truly individualize lessons for our students, is a wonderful thing. Having 24/7 access to Discovery Education opens up a huge platform for teachers and students to learn and follow passions. [...]
