They provide applications for engaging videos, bringing textbooks to life, and even virtual field trips. The website is discoveryeducation.com slash experience slash. This resource can expand your classroom even more with the multiple uses of this platform. The site focuses on STEM, social studies, and coding. It provides high-quality instruction with cross-curricular strategies. This does not replace content, but enhances lessons and brings the art and technology side of learning into the classroom. There is access to professional development, which is great for teachers, to learn more about integrating arts and technology. There are lessons, activities, and multi-module content that is multilingual, which is great for any student that is an English learner. This accommodates all students. Discovery education is also a resource that supports the latest integration standards that connect to several learning management support systems, such as Canvas, Clever, and Google, Microsoft, and many more. The benefits of using integration practices are tremendously great. The options are never-ending. This provides the teacher with another way of teaching about a specific subject area and the resources to add depth to the lesson and unit that they may be covering. It is a progressive necessity that students learn how to be adaptable to their studies, and teachers provide them the resources to explore content areas more thoroughly using sites such as this one. As an educator, you are bringing the experience to them by using virtual tours, activities, and lessons. It allows students to experience real-life adventure without leaving the classroom. Although leaving the classroom can be beneficial, having the resources to do it inside your classroom is wonderful. Discovery education is an awesome resource, in addition, to help you as an educator cover more content without leaving the classroom. This is good for K-12 with course integration lessons, activities, and much more. Both Kira and Ashley researched and wrote the script. It was hosted by Ashley Morrison.
