Discovery Education is an amazing site. This is a safe, child-friendly search engine and a site that can be used to find general information on any topic. It is a closed site that is funded by the Diocese of Greensburg through the Westmoreland Intermediate Unit. It is developed for students.
The materials that can be found on this site include images, full videos and clips, articles, encyclopedia articles, games, maps, simulations, activities, audio clips, and events. The list goes on and on! The site can be searched by subject, key word, and grade level. It is nice to have a list of things that are appropriate for the age of a child. It even provides the information needed to cite what is used for reports so that a bibliography or works cited page is easily completed.
Sometimes teachers may link videos that are to be watched to the site. But generally, once logged in, the area for research is in the section calledStreaming found near the top of the page. The login user name for our school is iu7np.mqa.student and the password is provided to the children in school. Please email the principal or the computer teacher if your child cannot remember the password. The site is good for all ages and all grade levels.
