libraries.

The Media Settings controls are located directly under the viewer and give you the ability to enable the closed caption text display and select the media player you prefer to use to stream or download a video.
Media Settings
Global My Content Your My Content, School Content, and District Content sections have been enhanced and are now global across products. This means that you can add and access content from any of your Discovery Education services through a single My Content interface. In addition, My Content is now accessible through a header link found on every page within the site.
19
Global Classroom Manager
Teachers can now create classes of students then assign videos, clips, Assignments, and other items to an entire class or individual students. Videos and other content can even be assigned directly from the player page. Students can then log into Student Center and access all of their assigned materials. Get your students engaged with online assignments, or provide them materials for a multimedia project!
20
Enhanced Student Access Schools now have the option to
provide their students access student-appropriate content within Discovery Education streaming and Science. Through school-assigned usernames and passwords students can now view content, access videos, assignments, and other content assigned by their teachers. Students can even download content for use in their multimedia projects. Administrators can control the video content students can access using the content blocking tool on the DE Admin site.

Inspired by Discovery Channel's landmark ATLAS series, Discovery Education streaming provides a unique video guide to our world. Featuring exclusive clips from Discovery's ATLAS series, this interactive map provides thousands of videos that show off the wonders of countries ranging from Afghanistan to Zimbabwe. Zoom in to each country and learn about its culture, government, history, and the natural world.

Since all of the digital media on the Discovery Education streaming site is protected by copyright, it is important to include the proper citations for the videos, images, and articles you download from the site.
The “Citations” tab displays the essential information in three accepted formats. Just copy the data from this page and paste it into your presentation and lesson files.
Citations
26
No video editing software is permitted except for those titles that have been designated as “Editable Content.”
Students are allowed to keep projects containing video segments in their electronic portfolios if used for demonstration purposes.
Teachers may keep video files and projects on disks and servers as long as the Discovery Education streaming subscription is current.
Protect the content, especially when creating web pages, so that only subscribers are able to see the video files.
Converting digital video to analog format such as VHS cassettes is not allowed—only digital devices may be used.
Use the dynamic citations provided with Discovery Education streaming digital media when you cite video resources and support materials.
