Discovery Suite []

Discovery has added more to their amazing suite of products! I was very impressed with Discovery Science, which includes online reading materials (many of which can be "read" to students in an ebook format), interactive science experiments, online simulations and more which are neatly tied together with an easy to use teacher's guide. Available for K-8, and in elementary could easily replace science textbooks. This program is designed to be used in both a computer lab and a one computer classroom. Want to try it out free for the rest of the year? Enter EAST 2009 as the passcode and it will add parts of the Discovery suite to your login for 90 days. The salesperson reports that if several schools in PWC choose to subscribe to Discovery Science the cost per school would be >$1500.

Thanks for the "heads up"

Acuity Lisa Stivers and the Acuity team were an Exhibitor. Did you know that if you don't have Smart Boards (or you have Promethian Boards) in your building they have a seed program that allows you to use 3 Smart Boards for a limited time and if you buy them after that amount of time, you get them at a discounted price.
