That's great knowing that you're getting feedback from a SpEd teacher.

Hello everyone. Emelda Abongnwi. MHS SC K9-12 science

Thank you for making bigger!!!!

I brought this up in a session yesterday, but was hoping to hear more about the process behind vetting resources, and whether or not videos are removed if their content is quite possibly no longer accurate based on newer, current information.

Finding Ready-to-Use Activities (Help Center Article):https://help.discoveryeducation.com/hc/en-us/articles/1500000245201

I have wondered that as well, Matthew.

@Matthew YES our content team does that. In fact, we just sunset over 1000 titles for that reason.

@Patti - that was such a polite way to say that. Thanks for that insight!

Getting Started with Studio – Using Activity Templates (Help Center Article):https://help.discoveryeducation.com/hc/en-us/articles/360056019534

Roughly 100 BB’s live, in service now and more to come! https://app.discoveryeducation.com/learn/search?q=background+builder

@Matthew there are more details about the team’s approach for content and our philosophy, here: https://www.discoveryeducation.com/curated-content/

can they type on there

Love this! Great way to build background knowledge.

Yes! @maria

@Maria on some of them, but if not, simply copy and add a response box

Awesome :)

ok good idea

Love this resource Kyle. Background builders will be so helpful!

Can one incorporate a button or ? and have the questions read to them ?

Some of the examples of Choice Boards: https://app.discoveryeducation.com/learn/search?q=choice+boards

Love that we can use Studio for building background, applying new learning and for showing mastery! Love!

@Linda, see that book icon on the right? That is Immersive Reader. We will show you more on that in small groups

I LOVE the choice boards. It is so awesome to give students a bit of choice.

Daily Fix!!! I LOVE this resource

@Linda Yep! Studio uses Microsoft Immersive Reader to read content on the page

Love the Earth Day Choice Board!

Love this!!!!

Daily Sentence Fix-it is middle school appropriate, too!! Yay!!

This is great!!!

What is the grade range for the daily fix its?

I love these daily sentences. The kids love the daily video connections too.

Great for year round schools

Love it!

And it is super helpful that you can copy one of the choice boards and make it your own….switch out a few videos or activities.

That is for experience only/

Good morning!

?

Are all the choice boards available for Canadian users? These are just awesome!!

@Susan…they are geared toward 3-5 right now

I love that STEM Career choice board <3

Will Daily Fix For Jan-June be different this year? I will loop with students so they have seen those boards

@Brad thank you!

@Michelle, yes most of the ready-to-use are for Full Experience only. Including the Daily fix it

Great. Can students give a verbal answer rather than typed?

Thank you patti

@Linda…yes if you enable speech to text on their devices

@linda Yes! Great point @Brad. You can also make a copy add a 'block' where students can upload an audio recording if you choose to assign the board!

Safe and reliable - I feel good about setting student’s free to pursue passion projects or Genius Hour! Student Autonomy in a safe digital environment!

I love the Daily Fix It and modified it for my first graders last year. Will they be developing one for the younger grades?

You can find these, as well as activities for ELA and Math for each K-8 grade level in the Student Learning Activities Channel https://app.discoveryeducation.com/learn/player/822eba9c-42e0-4b51-8ca2-df9d6cb5bc7f

That is such a great way to introduce SEL activities. Hook them with videos that are of interest and then introduce and SEL topic. Love it!

This will work excellent with my middle schoolers!! SEL is definitely a need during this trying time.

do we search for these or are they under "studio"

SEL is critical - but, now more than ever! Love how responsive DE is to the needs of learners!

Search! You can filter by 'boards' @Maria

Is any of this available for those of us that don't have the full experience?

Thanks. Good Idea if their device has that capability.

Thank you ! I will check it out

Chromebook - Speech to Text - https://support.google.com/chromebook/answer/177893?hl=en

They love owls!!!

Who?

Can you please demonstrate how to access all these wonderful tools from the home page. It seems a little confusing where everything is located.

WHO doesn't love owls?

They can do this and tie it to science where they can direct owl pellets

LOVE owl pellets!!

Who can resist these activities?

This is fabulous! Can’t wait

Disect auto correct

Macs and PCs for sure have speech to text. Can do a search and follow steps to enable.

Who is has a greater desire to help educators than DE? (Okay I will stop now!)

This is great.

Thank you

Mind is blown!! Love, love, love!!

these are great 👍

WOW - I hope this session is being recorded for future reference??? So much to absorb.

That Washington DC tour / virtual field trip was a blast and all of my students loved it! We ate lunch together watching it :)

This has been a nice upgrade! Yay! Thanks Michael and Team!

Give Kyle some Twitter love at @ktschutt

QUE MARAVILLA ES TODO ESTO...

wish SOS was still a button on the home page

Getting Started with Studio – Using Activity Templates (Help Center Article):https://help.discoveryeducation.com/hc/en-us/articles/360056019534

bienvenidas las SOS

@Peter... you can edit your homepage and put the SOS Channel where you want it...like at the top so it's easy to access :)

So excited to see these!

I am excited to start using the new upgrades with my Second Grade Class.

That's awesome!!!!

It used to be a rectangular tab which made it easier for teachers to access them.

Can you provide the link for the SOS you are using?

SOS templates for Studio are great!

These templates are great! Thank you.

Thanks for so many great templates….

Do they have to be assigned through Classroom?

This is GREAT!!!

@Peter, look in Educator Supports for those SOS channels

OMG!!! blown away!!!

thanks 😊

Wow wow wow!

👏👏👏👏

Awesome!!!!

That is awesome!!! Love it!!!
