Working with Discovery Education Studio

Last week, I shared some images of third graders using Studio.  What you didn’t

see were the steps leading up to their first Studio creation.  Here’s what we did:

For their first exposure to Studio, the teacher created a studio board for the
students to access. It was shared without editing rights (so the students
could only view it).  It included videos, interactives, and images. The
students viewed the material and responded to questions on paper.

For their second Studio time, the teacher created a template and shared it this

time with editing rights.  The students each worked on their own copy adding

images and videos.

For the third time, the teacher had the students create a board.  She walked

them through some of the basics and then the students created their own.

Have you seen Studio?

For a long time, Discovery Education hosted the Board Builder platform that

allowed teachers and students to create an online poster complete with text,

files, images, and video. You will find Studio on the menu represented as a

light bulb.

Now the entire district has access to Studio.  This is an upgraded platform

and includes pages, templates, and more! Special thanks to Kristin Banks,

DE Senior Specialist, for quickly providing access for our district.

If you would like an overview, please sign into your DE account and then
click the light bulb.  At the top of the screen you will see a Learn More link.
