Discovery Education
Discovery Education offers a variety of digital content to support learners during school closings. Now is the time to plan. Make sure your students have accounts with Discovery Education and know how to access this resource. If your district has a single sign on system, check to see if Discovery Education is included.
If you are not sure how to access Discovery Education, don't hesitate to reach out to us and we will get you started. There are several different single sign-on options for districts, so let us know if you need help.
This is just one of the digital resources available to ESC Region 11 districts through the Instructional Solutions & Support contract, which most districts in Region 11 have purchased.
