Discovery Education has offered Arkansas teachers and students invaluable information on various curriculum areas.

Mrs.Crites says

These resources are so valuable to students and educators. Please try to do something other than cutting it completely. Is partial funding an option?

It is hard to beat a video clip to enrich a social studies lesson. Discovery Streaming has been available to make that happen. I know of few options for DL.

Discovery Education has provided most of the supporting materials for our science and social studies curriculum. I can't replace this valuable tool.

This resource is a great addition to enhance the curriculum. I have had great success using DE not only with my visual learners, but with my entire class!

From visually representing complex scientific processes to watching a video of a children's book to creating a Classroom where students can find resources for projects, Discovery Education has been a great addition to the classroom. Students will suffer if they are not able to access the materials either presented by the teacher or discovering the materials themselves. Please fund this wonderful resource. No teacher or school should be without Discovery Education.

The videos and film clips are an excellent tool to open class discussion. Afterwards, you can follow up with a writing assignment.

I use DE to teach my students about careers. They enjoy taking a virtual tour into their areas of interest.

DE is invaluable. I use it weekly for media, puzzles and quizzes in science. Don't let it escape!

Arkansas used to have a film library at ADE where teachers could be mailed films to use in their classroom. DE streaming resources offer instant access.

I love DE’s large selection of materials. It is the only digital video-based learning resource scientifically shown to increase academic achievement.

My school is primarily english language learners. This is an amazing tool for creating background knowledge and letting them visualize what we are discussing.

Judy says

I attend DE events where I learn new technology skills that I take back to my teachers that they then use with their students.

Robin says

I can't imagine teaching literacy without DE resources. The background knowledge provided by streaming videos grabs even the reluctant learners' attention.

Amanda D. says

I am a new teacher and have recently discovered Discover Education.. There are so many possibilities for me to use that I would hate to lose this valuable tool.

Discovery Education is a great tool, regardless of what subject area or grade level you teach. The videos are great for my students who are in special ed!

Discovery has made resources accessible to me and my students that would not otherwise be there. I can't express how important it is to my science classroom.

I use Discovery Education resources in my Algebra and Geometry classes all the time. It is a user friendly way to incorporate technology into the classroom

Connie S says

Discovery Education is an invaluable tool for the classroom. It can be used for all levels of learning and across the curriculum. Students will love the videos.

why would the thought of disgarding such a valuable site, DE, even be a possibility? I hope that this will not become a reality. I love having DE in my classroo

Mary Jason says

Izard County Consolidated School District uses Discovery Education. It is a great resource and our teachers make the classroom a more exciting place.

Melissa says

Discovery Education is a valuable tool for my classroom. It contains material for all subjects and grade levels. It beats buying DVDs and creating materials.

Our rural students benefit from Discovery Streaming. They have access to limitless information otherwise not available to us. thanks

Most students are required to take college bound mathematic courses. DE is the perfect tool to show them real life applications to ALG I, ALG II, and GEOM.
