Dan Jones, Florida Special Education Teacher
DE is a perfect match to our district goal for ‘high-quality challenging education that instills character and enables students to compete successfully’. From the PreK videos, interactive labs, and the extensive partner programs, there is something for everyone. I especially like the PD opportunities for teachers.
Barbara DeSantis, Sayreville School District Technology Integration Trainer
Discovery Education has allowed my students to work on lessons they would otherwise not have access to. Our recent lesson was about how molecules move within solids, liquids, and gases, and the students were amazed with the interactive activity from Discovery Education. They were able to comprehend what we were talking about in our class and now have applied it to real life situations. I would not have been able to be successful in this lesson if it wasn’t for the help of Discovery Education
Arielle Sweiss, Florida Elementary School Teacher
