Using the Subscription

Here is a 2-1/2-minute video on Using Search in DE, which will help you find DE's channels and other items.  It will download to your computer and begin playing. I highly recommend watching this as it defines 'channels' and quick lists, etc., and is a brief overview.

Search Discovery Education using the search bar and by subject, trending, or standard. You can also search a collection of resources curated by Discovery Education called “channels.”

Audio Files: Listen to important speeches, music, and other educationally relevant audio files to engage students who learn best by sound.

Video: Discovery Education provides students with the vibrant, compelling digital media they need to enhance classroom learning.

You can return to the homepage from anywhere in Discovery Ed by selecting the DE icon at the top left of the page.

The three blue bars open to a drop-down menu where you can browse standards by province.
