Let's take a look at one resource that you can use with your students today: Vooks! Vooks are geared towards students in grades K-2. They are storybooks brought to life through animation and narration. Search for "Vooks" in Discovery Education, and you should see the channel.

 


There are several titles from which to choose. Click on a title to access the video and its details and features.




On the main page of each Vook, you will see a menu on the right with options to assign, share, save and more. 

                            




Scroll down to find a summary of the video, along with transcripts, related keywords, and prepared classroom materials when available. There are also suggested videos and content for deeper exploration of topics from the Vook.


Check for student understanding with interactive activities, create live or self-paced quizzes, and engaging presentations directly from the video in a matter of minutes. Click "Build an Activity" to get started. 

                         

   



Once you have built a video quiz activity you can "Assign" to students to complete on their own (in the Discovery Education student dashboard) or you can "Launch Now" which engages students live via activity code.Once you have built a Slideshow activity, you have the option to share a link to the content with students or assign it.
