Creating with Discovery Ed
Search:
Pick a topic that you want to research. Go to the Search bar and type “bones” into the box. Hit return to see how many results you get. If you get just a few results, you might want to look at them all. If you get dozens, hundreds, or thousands of results, you should probably narrow them down.
Filter:
Sometimes the number of search result returns can be overwhelming. You can narrow your results in several ways. Try using a synonym or a more specific word for the Keyword.
Specify a grade level. Click a grade band at the top of the screen, just under the grey bar, to bring up results that apply to those grades.
Look for a specific media type.
One of the best ways to communicate and share your ideas, findings, conclusions, and reports is to use Studio. You can include all of the following on a board or slideshow: text, video, images, audio, and buttons.
Launch Studio:
Select Studio from the left side menu.
Create:
To begin a new project, click Let’s Create and then choose between a board or slideshow.
Board: A multi-page project where pages can be as long as they want and include a scroll bar.
Slideshow: A multi-slide project where slides are a fixed size and designed for presentations.
Name your project:
By default, your project will be named the time it was created. Edit the name and description through the dropdown at the top of the screen.
Add colors & themes:
Within Studio, there are two options for customizing your project through themes, colors, and backgrounds. Access Customization options from the palette icon on the left side of the screen.
Add content:
Select the + to add content to your board. Import Discovery Education digital resources using Search or through your QuickList. You can upload from your device, including from camera rolls on tablets and phones. In addition to media, you can add text, resources, and buttons.
