A few of my favorite Web based Tools • Discovery Education • Dropbox • Socrative • Remind 101 • Glogster • Google tools / apps Best Resource Ever… • Kathy Schrock’s Guide to Everything
Did You Know? • Discovery Education owns United Streaming • You can find just about any kind of an educational video clip to use in your classroom • Many videos come with lesson plans and ideas for activities • You can copy the URL video link and paste on Eduphoria lesson plans • Discovery Education is one of the most comprehensive resource sites available
Discovery Education • School Codes by Campus • Birdville HS 25A2-D25B • Haltom HS 516D-F734 • Richland HS 0167-16E9 You may use any of the codes to initially set up your teacher account. It’s free! To learn more about how to use the many tools that Discovery Education has to offer, I will be having some short learning sessions after school starts.
