Discovery Education

Make sure to view video in its entirity prior to showing to scholars. Often only part of a video drives the concept home, you don't need to show it all. **Consider- Could this concept be taught in a better way? Is this the most effective technique?**

** How can we use Discovery Educational Streaming at Van Bokkelen? **
 * Consider higher level thinking. Put a video on mute and have scholars "commentate."
 * Zoom in photographs and have scholars infer what they think the photo is. This is great for Art when discovering things in paintings/works of art.
 * View resources to match holidays/events such as videos/photos/articles. Go to Teacher Center and click on Calendar. Important events and facts are also included on the side which can be used in morning meeting message.
 * S.T.E.M lessons/activities. Go to Teacher Center and click on STEM connect.
 * Use Interactive Atlas on the Smartboard.
 * CLIP ART!!! []
 * Computer Station during Treasure Time
 * Morning Meeting
 * Set the stage- Make Predictions (previews)
 * Geography Game

FAQ I'm lost! HELP! If your e-coach (Mrs. Tundo) is busy there are how to videos on the discovery education page. Once you login on the right is a box that says "Making the Most out of DE." Click under Beginner for how to's and help videos.

How do I save videos on my pen/flash drive?

I recommend downloading/previewing videos at home if you have faster internet service. (If you refuse to work at home, complete this during planning time)
Why do I need to save videos do the flash drive? Why can't I just put it in Goodies? If you saved the videos on your Goodies folder, the live streaming demands a large amount of bandwidth. This can result in the network crashing or moving at an extremely low speed. //For example last year a middle school teacher used up a lot of bandwidth and gradebooks in the county shut down (this was the week report cards were due).//

How am I going to preview the video if there is a concern for live streaming? During planning time it is appropriate to view because not everyone has planning at the same time. Can I save a video for one day for a particular lesson so my team can find? Yes you can, but **be kind** and **delete** at the conclusion of the day.

Is there another way I can save videos if I don't use a flash drive or often forget it at home? You can save a "playlist" under My Content within Discovery Educational Streaming. You can create topics. Will Discovery Streaming videos be listed in curriculum? The educational technology office is hoping that they can work with curriculum guides to match videos.

Can I share videos with the county? How? The county does not have full assess yet to this capability. =** How can I hyperlink/embed videos? (such as in PowerPoint) **=
