Discovery Education Experience
With the use of Discovery Education, I can always find content that interests the students while helping to teach the state standards. The students ask when we are going to play another interactive game in Social Studies and Science. My students get very excited when I tell them I have a DE resource to go to today.

Discovery Education Experience
Discovery Education supports our literacy goals with the built-in reader, ability to highlight and leave notes, as well as being able to adjust reading levels and language of text. Discovery Education also provides project-based learning and STEM ideas that are ready made for teachers to use with students, both of which align to our district goals.
Eve Heaton, Technology Coach, South Carolina
DreamBox Math
I absolutely love to sit down beside students and become engrossed as well as amazed at how much they can learn on their own when they’re provided with ‘just right’ learning in such a fun and engaging way. It is not only filling ‘math gaps’ and accelerating the learning of students below grade level, but also challenging above grade level students based on their needs.
