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...

Using the DOODLE BUDDY APP in Math

Some classes are creating subtraction number stories using the Doodle Buddy App! Students use the stamps in Doodle Buddy to create the picture of their story and then use the pen in the app to cross out stamps and write their number sentence. Students can then take a screen shot and put it in their google drive to share with their teacher. Take it one step further! Have students put their Doodle Buddy picture in Explain Everything, Educreations, Tell About This or Write About This so that they can record their explanation of their number story. Now teachers have evidence of the student’s thinking and can plan for the next step in moving that student along in their understanding of mathematical concepts! Works great for addition number stories, too! Model creating number stories with whole class Students work independently or collaboratively to create number stories Students take screen shot to save their work
