Images are incredibly valuable in the learning process. Marzano tells us about the importance of non-linguistic representation as a strategy to reinforce concepts and reach more learners.
We want students to create artifacts of their learning, and using images is a wonderful way to make that happen. It's easy to grab images off Google, but in this modern, digital world we have to teach students the digital citizenship concept of respecting intellectual property.
Your DE subscription includes hundreds of images you and your students can link to or download, and they provide citation information to make adhering to copyright and digital citizenship easy.
Just remember, you are only able to use images and media you've downloaded while your DE subscription is current. If you're no longer a subscriber you're required by law to delete all downloads.

The staff at Discovery Education knows you are a) excited about all the amazing resources in your account, and b) don't always have the TIME to go find them all! Content Collections were designed to gather up multiple resources around certain popular classroom topics to make them easy for teachers to access and use immediately.
