Discovery Education Interactive Trainings


Discovery Education has so many resources on their site that it can be very overwhelming! How do you use the Science TechBook? How do you use SOS strategies? How can you limit your options when searching? Where do you find the video you want to use? Discovery has a professional development section that can walk you through some of those questions. Here is how you access it:

Log into Discovery Education
On the top black bar, click on Professional Development
Click on Interactive Training
You will see a number of “courses” listed. Choose one that you need to/ would like to know more about.

In each course, Discovery has provided videos to support your learning, as well as pdfs that you can print out and follow. Currently there are 16 courses available, and Discovery is always adding more. If you find something in this list that you would like to learn more about, take the time to work through these training courses!  

Effective the fall of 2016, CCSD93 will be adding an “Application of Learning” component to the Discovery Education interactive training courses, and will offer them as online LEAD courses. Be on the lookout for these opportunities in the fall.

Want to start implementing, but not sure where to start?  Check with your building's instructional coach!  Your instructional coach is there to assist you and provide support as you look to incoropor...

PebbleGo on the iPad

PebbleGo!   There are so many topics our students research - and with PBL coming up, the topics will grow! Some of those topics are available in PebbleGo . PebbleGo is not an app. It is a website that is accessible through Safari on the iPad. Your students can access PebbleGo using the QR code below.

Before your students log into PebbleGo, spend some time exploring and discovering what is available to them. When you get to PebbleGo and have logged in, choose a category - right now the options are Animals, Science, Biographies and Social Studies. In each category there are a number of topics.
