This link connects to Discovery Education, created by the Discovery Channel. At the top of the page there are tabs for Administrator, Teacher, Parent, and Student resources. Some of the resources must be purchased. At the bottom of the page are more links for free resources, including lesson plans, differentiated by grade levels. This leads to links by either subject or grade level. One of these links takes you to Kathy Schrock's list of resources (she presents the power point in our second module). One site, for example, includes lesson plans about learning history in one's own community. Discovery Education also presents travel opportunities, webinars, and contests. This site is quite a "Discovery."

One can find resources for Science, Math, English, Social Studies, Health, and Technology. Primary sources include interactive maps, photographs, and videos. Live streaming is its most important primary source, as its name indicates. However, this must be purchased. There are also links to primary sources. Its purpose is to provide resources for education.

For example, the tab on the Middle Ages provides a link to primary and secondary information on Christopher Columbus.
