Discovery Education would like to share some resources and best practices we are aggregating from our education partners around the world.    

Please find below some helpful links as we collectively look to support our educators, parents and students during this time of distance learning. 

5 Ways Digital Content Can Support Virtual Learning 

To assist educators and parents in planning anticipated shifts to online instruction, we recently posted 5 Ways to Support Virtual Learning with Digital Content, which explores how to best utilize the Discovery Education Experience platform and resources to support educators, parents and students.  

Access Discovery Education Experience 

Discovery Education is offering access to the Discovery Education Experience at no cost for the remainder of the school year. Schools will have access to our dynamic K-12 learning platform and its ready-to-use digital lesson plans, activities, and standards-aligned resources through the remainder of the school year, which will help teachers continue instruction as they shift to a virtual teaching environment. 

To request immediate access, please complete the Experience Access Request Form

We are proud and honored to share that over 5,000 schools and districts have activated our resources in the past week alone, including New York City Department of Education. 

Virtual Field Trips 

Popular and timely Virtual Field Trips transport students to exclusive locations or popular landmarks while providing learning activities to keep them fully engaged. After the Virtual Field Trip, they can extend their learning with additional learning content and resources. 

In the coming days, we will continue to add more resources to support educators making the transition to virtual learning and will be made available on our website in the Insights Section and the Discovery Educator Network Channel in Discovery Education Experience.
