Let's look at a few more components Discovery has to offer. Explore 1 or 2 of the components listed in the Teacher Center, and share your thoughts. How would you incorporate it into your classroom? How would it impact you and/or your students?

Tracing Lewis and Clark through Archaeology
This lesson plan will help students understand the challenges faced by archaeologists as they try to uncover the past.
I looked at the Discovery Atlas and clicked on the Philippines, my native country. This site is amazing because it gives information not only on the country's geographic location, it also provides the country's culture,government, and its history. I can use this site in my ESL class. My students will research about their native country and give a presentation.
The atlas tool is great for the kids to click on different parts of the world, down to the US, and then to Louisiana. They can click on different parts of Louisiana and find movies that have to do with the culture, history, ect. It is a great hands on approach.
Using the on-line Atlas would encourage the use of technology within the classroom. The Atlas would give them the opportunity to explore different countries, gather data, and then display that data in a graph. This activity would accomodate students who enjoy working together, enjoy using technology, and enjoy learning about our world all while meeting the curriculum standards involving data collection and graphing.
I loved the Atlas because I do a unit on the atlas with grades 3- 5 and this would be a very good interactive activity. I also looked at the STEM but it was all for 6th grade and up and our school is elementary. The third thing I looked at was the thematic units which were great because the videos, etc. were already there and I didn't have to search. This is a good thing when you have limited time to prepare which some times happens. I also looked at the continuity of education link which would be great for a sub to use when there is an emergency absence.
I really liked the Thematic Focus teacher tool. It has a wealth of information on various thematic units. It has some wonderful resources that you can use. It has also has some great lesson plans with activities included.
I clicked on the calendar. I thought that this would be fun to visit everyday so that the students could see what important things happened on each day in history.
The Calender is a nice tool because it gives an event for most days of the year. So the students can go on their birthday and find out some interesting facts.
The atlas was an awesome way to show the world. The lesson plan and thematic focus really helps you when your doing a lesson that you are not familiar with and for additional resource.
I found three areas useful in teaching high school English : Ready Zone, Atlas, and Lesson Plan library. I found several seful lesson plans useful to teaching British and Advanced Placement literature next year. Atlas is useful to direct students to the region of the world where the literature takes place. This is great for setting and culture discussion. Ready Sone linked me to videos and other useful information for lesson planning.
The Henry Hudson video clip will provide students with a detailed account of Hudson's journey in search of the Northwest Passage. It includes a review of longitude, latitude, and the more map terms.
I viewed Thematic Focus and then Visual/Performing Arts. There are many artists here that you can share with the students. They can research the artists, etc. This can help you meet the needs of Act 175.

The atlas was great! However, the videos would not play.
The atlas seems like an awesome tool. But the videos that are linked to the informational segments do not come up.

I tried to watch the videos in the Discovery Altas but they didn't not play.

The lesson solving math problems with money will be useful in the classroom. It also includes videos from Discovery Learning.
The Thematic Focus Section is nice. The videos are embedded already. This makes it nice for easy access. The easy access is nice.
The Atlas is neat because you could display it in front of everyone or the student could use it on their own.
The lesson plan link is a good resource to link videos with extension lessons.
