Session Descriptions

D-1 Discovery Education Streaming Overview

Media can be used for so much more than video Fridays.  During this session we’ll explore the importance of embedding segmented video, audio, quizzes and more into our lesson plans.  We’ll find new, innovative and interactive teaching techniques.  And, once we’ve explored the “why” we’ll explore the DE streaming site and all of its new features and benefits.   By the end of this session we’ll find out just how we can maximize your very own online media library.

D-2 PowerPoint as Multi-Media Platform

We all know that the computer, projector and PowerPoint have replaced the old slide projector, hundreds of tiny static photos, and the phrase “next slide please.”   But did you know that PowerPoint can also be combined with videos, sounds, effects and interactive boards to create an engaging multimedia presentation?  During this session will explore the necessary (and not-so-scary) steps for building an engaging multimedia presentation.

D-3 Building a Bigger Builder

If you use technology with students, and you have Discovery Education streaming, there is a level you haven’t explored.  During this session we will show you ways to use the Web, video, the computer, and your own imagination to take curriculum assessments to the next technology level.  Master the tools your school provides with the master builder!  If you don’t have DE streaming, leave with a passcode that will let you explore a new realm of instruction.
