Discovery Needs Your Focus!

The Discovery Education product development team is constantly looking for ways to make Discovery Education streaming better and better.

And you guys play an important role in the direction of our site!  Along that vein our Product Development team is hosting a Focus Group Webinar tomorrow evening at 5pm EST.  It will be open to teachers from around the country.  During the webinar they’ll be seeking feedback on a redesign of the My DE page.

So if you would like to provide feedback to the team and leave your stamp on the new page, please sign up for the webinar and give us your two cents!

To keep it manageable we’re going to tap the roster at 20.

To sign up all you have to do is click here and follow the registration steps.  As always - thank you so much for your support!

Tip From the National Blog

This is such a great tip I wanted to post it here for everyone to see.

Downloading pictures doesn’t have to be such a drag…

but it can be a lot of fun to do!  Here’s a quick tip that is super cool.

  • Find any image from the site -  my favorite image is called “Federal Troops at Rest”
  • Once you find the image, and it is displayed in the blue media player box, openDragging Image To PowerPoint up a program like Word or Powerpoint
  • Minimize that program.
  • Then go back to your DE streaming image, left-click on the image inside the blue box and simply drag (be careful to not let go of your mouse button) the image into your Word or Powerpoint program.
  • Once the Word or Powerpoint program opens on your screen, move your mouse up into your Word doc or PowerPoint slide until the cursor turns into a plus symbol
  • Then let go of your mouse.
  • Give it a second and you will soon see your image embedded into your Word or Powerpoint slide.

Pretty cool right?!?  I love this trick!
