“Discovery Education’s digital content and the iPad’s amazing display have the unparalleled ability to immerse students in curricula and transport them beyond the four walls of their classroom,” agreed Chicago Public Schools (CPS) Science Director John Loehr.
Discovery Education announced its new platform during its Science Institute at Discovery Communications headquarters in Silver Spring, Md., where attendees learned how to leverage tech tools and resources to engage students with inquiry-based science instruction.
Discovery Education’s platform was just one of the company’s resources mentioned at the Institute.
The institute also promoted Discovery Communications’ multimedia, multi-year science initiative “Be the Future,” which also supports Obama’s STEM call-to-action.
Be the Future is a multi-platform tool that includes commercial-free science education programming, a science education research study, annual science student competitions, and a curriculum-based and career development science resource.
