When was the last time you paused before logging into Discovery Education? If you have, you've probably noticed that the homepage is a portal granting access to a slew of FREE content, curriculum and challenges for parents, students, and educators. Join us as we riff through some of the most sought after gems organized before you login to your DE account. From webinars and virtual field trips to web 2.0 tools there's sure to be something here for you (and your colleagues).
We are so excited to have Kyle Schutt, Director of Education Outreach & Curriculum Integration for Discovery Education joining us for this webinar to share his passion for the many free tools provided by Discovery Education for educators. Since 2010 Kyle has worked for Discovery Education supporting one of the largest professional learning networks in the country, the Discovery Educator Network (DEN). He coordinates and delivers in-person and web-based professional development workshops and conferences for educators, as well as creates and produces Discovery Education’s virtual field-trips and classroom events.
