"There are two kinds of adventurers: those who go truly hoping to find adventure and those who go secretly hoping they won't."

Discovery Streaming Saved!

Discovery Streaming has been saved, at least for three more years in South Carolina. For those of you who don't happen to know about it, it's where you can find an immense amount of video to help with lessons. There are even lesson plans, tests, notes, and many other things for some programs. Ever wonder where to find some of the Discovery shows to add to lessons? This is the perfect place! Okay yeah I know I sound like a commercial. But we love it! We use it all the time. So far I've never had a problem of not being able to find something. The biggest problem I have is choosing what to use. There are all grade level videos, clips, sound bytes, and more.

The only other problem that I really have is that it is NOT available to everyone. In South Carolina homeschoolers are able to use it due to the laws allowing us to use school labs, and other programs. Unfortunately not all states are that way. As for the Discovery Streaming each state or even district sometimes decides whether or not their schools can use the program. Individuals can purchase a subscription also.

There are now some free things available at the site. I recommend at least giving those a look at! Check them out at least. There are some free things for the classroom, and for at home, as well as some Projects and Programs you can check out too. Follow the Discovery Streaming link and the free resources are are about halfway down on the right side of the page. Enjoy!
