Discovery Education

This week I am taking a break from Google Classroom and trying something new with my 3-5th grade library students: Discovery Education. I am so excited to use this learning platform with them! Students met with a partner and created a Venn Diagram: "Me, Me and We." Then, students logged on to their Discovery Ed accounts. Students explored building a board about theirselves and their partners using the Board Builder tool. The wrote a headline, wrote 3 text boxes and included 3 images. I just introduced this program to them, so I plan to give them a few weeks to explore and work on the board. I heard students, even those that aren't always so enthused to produce classwork, say how fun it was. I'm excited to teach them to search using keywords, curate a list of resources, share their boards with one another, and create boards about what they are learning in class. Love this resource!
