 We absolutely LOVE United Streaming! We have three boys ages 11, 9 and 4. The content available is suitable for all three. My oldest two use it almost daily to supplement their various courses and areas of interest. The breakdown by segment makes finding what we need quick and simple. It is very easy to search effectively. It is also a bonus to have videos to supplement our math studies. I can't imagine NOT having it now! I highly recommend it to all homeschoolers and am thrilled that the homeschoolbuyers co-op made it possible for us to access this excellent resource! Thanks again!” Briana Ebmeier, Co-op Member |
The multi-media resources provided through United Streaming are awe inspiring. My children are 12, 14, and 18. My oldest uses these resources to supplement her college course work. My younger two have elected to take challenging subjects this year, in their pursuit of career goals, and we have found that the videos and programs available through United Streaming are a wonderful and rich addition to their studies. The search capabilities of the site are easy to use, and can be approuched through several different angles. The children will often finish watching a video I've suggested and then sift through looking for and watching clips that catch their interest, just out of curiousity. When an appropriate video is found, there is often addtional educational resources available to extend the learning potential. The conveniently tabbed video descriptions sometimes contain links to teacher's guides, assignments, vocabulary lists, pre-tests, tests, and project ideas. The videos are often so fascinating that we plug the laptop into the tv so the whole family can watch! I don't often spend this much money on homeschooling materials, and was leary of doing so for this. It has turned out to be worth far more than I could have hoped. I would recommend this to every home educating family, regardless of learning style.”Elizabeth, Co-op Member |
Our family loves United Streaming! The videos and corresponding teaching guides, quizzes and worksheets are outstanding resources for supplementing their education, studies and learning new things. They are even learning Spanish through the language program that is available through United Streaming. The kids look forward to watching episodes of Magic School Bus and watching history and science videos directly related to what they are currently studying. We have been using United Streaming for 2 years now and I have yet to find another product on the market that offers such exceptional quality, variety, features and teaching and planning tools. I often tell other parents wanting more for their children to look into United Streaming as it is a worthwhile investment in your child's education.”Joy K, Co-op Member |
The unitedstreaming has added a whole new dimension to my homeschooling. I can expand on our lessons and thankfully get my very active son away from too much bookwork. I am also so grateful for the quizzes which helps me out so much. There is so much more I can do with this site that I haven't even had time to explore and I really cannot wait to do so. I love it. Thanks so much.”Alicia, Co-op Member |
United Streaming really contributes greatly to our homeschooling. We cancelled cable because we can now not only get educational programs on every subject of history, science and more, but we can choose from many programs in each category based on the grade level and complexity we need. We recently watched a great movie on the history of slavery and discovered that the teacher resources included the vocabulary list with definitions, discussion guide and even a crossword puzzle on the movie. What more could you want! When you search for a topic you can watch a piece of a show that includes just that topic or the whole show.
We recently used it to aid our geology study and found a great K-3 show written for kids on rocks and minerals. These are entertaining, but comparable to a really good lesson that I don't often have the time or resources to prepare myself.
We've used Cosmeo, which is also very good, and which includes useful games, articles and links, but this has a different selection and is very comprehensive.
If you've every had a day where you just don't feel you've covered all you need to on a subject, this will not only fill gaps, but launch you into new areas as well.
VERY worth the money.”Anne Huffman, mom of boys 9, 7, and 2, Co-op Member |
Discovery-Education streaming is an incredible opportunity for homeschooling families! My children have been able to have access to incredibly informative information on virtually almost every subject imaginable. My high school and middle school children really love it! Although, they would have loved it at any age. It is only unfortunate we did not have access to it sooner! Discovery streaming has added a very fun element to learning. They have also found them to be an invaluable research sourse as well! Providing a more indepth & understanding of a subject and will most likely be remebered much longer than would be obtained by just reading about it. I truly cannot say enough about it. We have also purchased an adaptor to hook up the computer to the TV so that the entire family can watch at the same time. Because Mom and Dad love it too!”Charlotte H., Co-op Member |
This had been a great tool in homeschooling for me. So many topics are covered you can all most always find what you are studying within the streaming videos. My eight year old son loves the videos and even enjoys the ones geared toward the older classes. I would recommend this to anyone who homeschools and their budget allows them access.”B, Clay, Co-op Member |
I love that my kids can pick a topic and have instant online educational access to it, in a safe environment. That my 10yo dd loves watching behind the scenes of the making of a play - and that it was right there for her to view.”Tammi, Co-op Member |
The Discovery Education streaming video service has provided great supplemental educational videos to our homeschool education. So much of our studies are in written form, and it is fantastic to be able to offer visual reinforcement of things that I have already taught my children. We have tried to rent videos through the library, but they are few and far between, and many times are not at an appropriate grade level, or are much too long. My kids have loved the videos! Thank you for providing this!”V. Carlson, Co-op Member |
I love having these videos and clips for my child. It reinforces what i am teaching him.”Tricia L., Co-op Member |
There is an amazing amount of great content on this sight. We have been using the spanish class for grades 1-2 and feel it is a great class and worth the cost of the entire subscription. They also have all the magic school bus episodes which my daughter enjoys. They let you use the sight free for a month to see if it will work for you.”aynsley k, Co-op Member |
Streaming is such a great way to support the book learning. My teens like to watch TV and what a better way to get some learning in than watching the "streaming" TV. One of my girls has some learning issues around reading and streaming helps her get more information in than reading alone. Thanks for such a great way to help the homeschool parent.”Colleen, Co-op Member |
Discovery Streaming is a very useful tool. It makes assigning materials for the different grade levels I teach simple. The printable quizzes are wonderful. My ninth grade daughter said the video and quiz on scientific method were "fun"! There are thousands of videos we can all watch together and I can tailor discussion and worksheets to my children's levels. Well spent money.”Ellen M Harvey, Co-op Member |
My children are definitely enjoying the video streaming. I never have to ask twice when I want them to look up a subject and watch a video. It has been especially helpful in preparing for a test, to get a good overview. We are all liking watching Liberty Kids in order during lunch.”Andrea F., Co-op Member |
We a a home school family of 3, with ages ranging from 8-12. One of the beauties of home schooling is the ability to compact basic skills for those who can, and extend lessons for those in need. Adaptive Curriculum is an excellent program that allows for both types of students. Additionally, Adaptive Curriculum has exceptional interactive activities that are incorporated into each lesson so that each student is required to be active and engaged. The assessments at the end of each segment allow the student to ascertain whether they have met the objectives, and thorough review and solutions are provided for any incorrect answers they have submitted. I could continue with my appreciation of this program if space had permitted, and would recommend it for anyone that is looking for a rigorous and outstanding math and science program to add to their current curriculum.”Brenda Lambert, Co-op Member |
We absolutely love Discovery Education.We use it everyday. The kids love having access to Pendamonium.”Amanda, Co-op Member |
Discovery-Education streaming plus is well worth the cost. It enhances all of my lessons. It saves time because I no longer have to search the entire internet and not even find what I want. I am able to search for videos for upcoming lessons when I have free time and store them in my account. When I am done teaching a topic I can set the kids up to watch the video while I get something else done. We are starting the Revolutionary War right now and my kids just watched the first Liberty Kids Video. They loved it, which is great, because Discovery has the whole series!!!!”Jennifer Rooney, Co-op Member |
We have been using Discovery-Education to supplement the teaching in Science and Geography. My kids love the videos and I believe more learning takes place while watching those than when they are looking at textbooks!”Ruth S, Co-op Member |
Do not hesitate! It provides awesome enrichment opportunities in all subject areas. It's a real no brainer! You will love it!
Kids love it!”N. Paton, Co-op Member |
These videos are great. We originally got Discovery Education as a science and history resource for my 6 yo but have been actually using it for grammar as well. There is so much and for every age level which enables us to get deeper into a subject if we want to. Many of the videos also have teacher's guides and quizzes associated with them. These resources help so much. We are very happy with our investment with Discovery Education.”Sarah Greene, Co-op Member |
This service rocks!!! Our charter school went with a different service so we were tickled to be able to purchase DE through the Co-op. The kids ask to enrich their daily textbook assignments with a video; and when we struggle with a concept, we head straight to DE to explore the topic. Definitely worth the money!!!”Karen H., Co-op Member |
Discovery Education streaming Plus has made all our history lessons come alive. It reinforces what we just read about. My kids look forward to the watching part after the lesson.The quality of the videos is excellent. I will definitely continue to use this, am thankful to be able to afford it through the Homeschool Co-op!”D. Catey, Co-op Member |
I love Discovery streaming. More importantly, my children love Discovery Streaming. They have great videos on all subjects easily found by topic and grade level. There is no better way to truly understand history and science than by videos, especially history. No book can make you understand history like the expansion of the Roman Empire than seeing the movies about it. It gives a whole new dimension to learning. Instead of fighting with my children to study, I have a hard time getting them to quit! I have promoted Discovery streaming to many parents-those who already home school and those who are researching it. Discovery streaming makes my teaching job so very easy!”Lynda P., Co-op Member |
This is my best homeschool buy this year!! In the past, I have had to search through inter-library loan to find movies to match our history and science subjects. I am saving so much time with Discovery Education streaming!! It is so simple, my son is able to look up his own video clips. Love it!”Christine B., Co-op Member |
I have used Discovery Education Streaming Plus for 3 years now. When my son has difficulty comprehending material or wants to know more in depth info on the subject we are studying; I just log in and find a video on the subject. My son always loves a day when videos are in the lesson.”Tammey Perkins, Co-op Member |
We purchased Discovery Education Basic a month ago. It is fantastic. No more time consuming internet searches for videos related to a particular topic/subject being studied in our homeschool. I love the multimedia approach that it lends to our homeschool curriculum. Also, unlike videos we check out from the library, these are at our fingertips the minute we desire the information. Discovery Education has been a real asset to our homeschool. It is a great value too.”J. Pearl, Co-op Member |
Ok! This was a total splurge purchase. I have one child who loves video. She remembers everything she sees and hears on a video better than what she reads in a book. I thought Discovery would be a great support for our basic curriculum therefore enhancing her memory. I am so happy I splurged.
I have used it for Ancient History, Geography, Science and Literature. With each subject, we have been happy with what we have found. Sometimes we have been surprised by all that we find available on Discovery. For example, the geography interactive map a great tool with accurate information.
Streaming Plus has become a central figure in our curriculum. It has saved me so much time and money. No more lengthy library searches; no more waiting for our books to arrive; no more adjusting our curriculum to fit with our limited resources. No more frustrating web searches. It is all right here at my fingertips. Thank you for offering this great resource. Our family loves Discovery Education streaming Plus.”Mrs. Ramberg, Co-op Member |
Discovery Education Streaming Plus has been an essential element of our homeschooling curriculum for 7 years.”Michelle L., Co-op Member |
We have subscribed for three years so far and will continue to do so. It has been an excellent resourse and my son uses it almost daily. I highly recommend this product to everyone”Jackie S., Co-op Member |
The videos are educational and interesting. And I can find everything I need... I really think it is great value.”Mousumi, Co-op Member |
We absolutely love the DE Streaming Videos! they enhance our regular lessons and some we view just for fun or enrichment. They even work well as time fillers on a slow day.
The Blackline Masters and Teachers guides give added instruction or worksheets that can be used as well.
My 7th gradeer enjoys them very much. I would definitely recommend them to anyone looking for some additional resources.”D. Hobson, Co-op Member |
What an incredible investment! My kids absolutely love it and are learning so much through it! I have children of all ages and it has been super for all of them!”Denise, Co-op Member |
My daughter (6th grade)is very happy that we've added Discovery Education Streaming Plus to our homeschooling. We are using the educacion espanol full Spanish curriculum as well as adding video support to science, literature, math and history. She says it's the best part of her school day.”Karen D., Co-op Member |
Discovery Education Streaming Plus is a vital part of our homeschooling, and I would not want to be without it.
I am a first-year homeschool mom and this membership is invaluable to me as a busy stay-at-home work-from-home single mom.
Of all my jobs, teaching my 8-year-old son is top priority, and as his mom AND teacher, naturally I want the very best for his education.
I knew anything Discovery put their name on would be quality, but Discovery Ed Streaming has gone above and beyond my expectations.
I can take any topic we are currently studying in whatever book, go to Discovery Ed Plus Streaming, type in a keyword and TONS of quality, interesting little (and big!) documentaries and films pop up that cover it exhaustively. You can even narrow it down by most popular, which helps.
I wish I had known about it a long time ago, as it would have saved me a lot of money from buying educational videos individually over the years. It's all here in one service!
I find that it comes in especially helpful for science and social studies. So far, we've watched all about plants, the American flag, all of the states, seasons, holidays... It's great for Language Arts, too: watching a video of a story about the topic is a fantastic way to tie in listening to literature with that topic, whatever the subject.
At the end of the day, after recess, we sit in a comfy chair and watch a few movies covering topics we read about during the start of the day. Priceless! It is a great way to wind down the day without wasting school hours, and to let that topic sink in just a little more through quality, educational "entertainment". My son asks for it and looks forward to our "video time" everyday.
I feel fortunate to have stumbled upon the wonderful Homeschool Buyers Co-op, for had I not, I would have never known that this quality membership is available to homeschool moms like me!
I highly endorse Discover Ed Plus, as I find it capitalizes on the utilization of media via the internet in such a positive manner for my son.”Ms Badran, Co-op Member |
Thanks so much for offereing DE Streaming. At first I loved it because we had access to our old favorites like Magic School Bus and a Cyberchase but on our 1st official day of homeschool I LOVE it because it gave me access to a video that made our history lesson come alive and inspired a more in depth study of the topic. THANK YOU!!!!”Shawna M, Co-op Member |
As a former public school teacher and now a ten year homeschooling mom, Discovery Education is one of my best resources. I use the lesson plans and the handouts that are available to supplement my curriculum. I have children of several grade levels. With Discovery Education I can teach all of them the same unit, but use videos and handouts that are age appropriate as supplements.”Michele Penton, Co-op Member |
Yesterday, I ended a seemingly endless discussion of "I don't understand!" to a science assignment. She was to write a paragraph about how she would plan her own "Wild Life Refuge". I typed in "wild life refuge, 3-5th grade" at Discovery-Education. Five minutes later my 9-year-old was smiling, "NOW I get it!"”R, Co-op Member |
I just started home schooling my daughter this year. I have a masters degree in teaching. I cannot say enough about DE streaming plus. This is such a great value. One of my concerns was how I would be able to give my daughter access to media. The schools have the funds to have these available but not our household. I love the science shows like Magic School bus and Bill Nye the science guy. To buy these videos can cost $30 a piece and now I can just look up a topic and have endless resources.
This is the best resource I have purchased and my daughter loves to just look things up on her own. I can allow her to explore in a safe educational environment unlike the interesting things she might find searching the internet.
If you are considering taking a chance on something, this is the one!”Amanda, Co-op Member |
I just logged on for the first time with my co-op purchase of Discovery Ed- Plus...it's AMAZING!! I can save on fuel costs and museum memberships by logging onto DE-Plus. From Ancient Egyptian mummification to math fraction tutorials...this is a win-win purchase that will save on other costs in the end.”Tina, Co-op Member |
My boys love Discovery streaming. We use it to supplement are subjects throughout the day. It's a great resource and worth the investment.”Jennette, Co-op Member |
What a resource! Each time I log on there are thousands of options at my fingertips. My kids have enjoyed watching art lessons and animal movies. My only complaint is that DE doesn't allow homeschoolers to download the videos for any reason...even something like exportation into a powerpoint presentation. I was disappointed that homeschoolers were not granted the same rights as everyone else. [Editor note: This is due to licensing restrictions place on DE by content providers.]”Jamie S., Co-op Member |
The Search function is amazing; I love being able to call up, literally within seconds, a video to answer my kids' questions. If a picture is worth a thousand words, a video in less than a minute is *definitely* worth a million!”Siggi, Co-op Member |
This is one of the best investments I have made. We have used this subscription for homeschooling purposes and it is a wonderful supplement to our curriculum. This year we are not homeschooling and still feel it is worth every penny spent for quality videos - both entertainment and educational. The lesson planning capability is wonderful. My grandson, who is 7 yrs old, will be coming to live with me shortly and I plan to allow him to view as many of the videos as are an interest to him. I can't say enough good about Discovery Education!!!”Connie Klumpp, Co-op Member |
I bought this subscription so that my four kids could freely choose their own path in science and history. My kids love it so much they are watching something at least 4 times a week (when we are home). Considering this is summertime I am imagining even more viewing in the colder months.
I asked them to write about what they watched, and to document the time and episode name. I can use this for our teacher evaluation.
My kids are completely stoked about having the freedom to learn what they want. We have had three computers running at the same time with different programming, and I love the fact we can do this anywhere we want so we can travel.”Laura Luster, Co-op Member |
I purchased Discovery Education streaming plus for one specific subject area for our upcoming school year. Once we started using it, I realized how much it could enhance nearly every aspect of our studies! I love having all these resources including lesson plans and quizzes just one search away. With these videos, I don't have to worry about content and I know I'm getting quality material. It is a "go to" resource for our family.”Lara T., Co-op Member |
My whole family loves this program! My children have enjoyed watching countless videos and I love the teacher material which is included. I have stopped buying educational DVDs because we can usually find the same material with Discovery Streaming Plus. Well worth the money!”Robin P., Co-op Member |
I just purchased this product and took an opportunity to use it for a unit study on owls. I found everything I needed: video of owls in their natural habitat, owls in flight, close ups of the owl's unique feather structure which help them fly silently, an owl pellet dissection, etc. I have found this product instructional and easy to use. I am looking forward to using it in the upcoming school year.”Jen, Great Northwest, Co-op Member |
I can't get enough of this program. I can look up any topic and usually find a plethora of resources.
This year we are studying the 19th century. We have found videos about musicians, writers, artists and of course historical events of the 1800's at our disposal. We stream it to our TV and learn so much! The kids are not only absorbing facts but are really seeing interconnections of people and events. They are able to understand the "why" much better than they would from many other resources and they are only 8 and 10!
I don't think I will want to homeschool without it.”Stephanie S., Co-op Member |
A seasoned homeschooling mom highly recommended Discovery Streaming. We used videos on ancient Rome to prepare for our summer vacation. We can't wait to learn more about the Middle Ages and Renaissance when we return and begin our homeschooling adventure.”Kathy K, Co-op Member |
My family loves Discovery-Education-Streaming-Plus! It is easy to use. There is so much valuable/fun information. This is a subscription that won't lapse in our house.”Jenn V., Co-op Member |
DE Streaming Plus is already a great tool for our middle schooler and high schooler. With so many videos available, we have a wealth of material from which to choose. My daughters don't even mind using it in the summer so that we are able to get the most use for our money.
As a certified educator, I am also impressed with the lesson plans that are available for some videos. They encourage good feedback from the student and help me to know how much information they are retaining.”Renee B., Co-op Member |
I love the Discovery Education! I haven't used it quite as much as I hope to later in the year but it's already done exactly what I had hoped - helped me to better explain complex topics. I've been able to search for a video that relates to a topic we're struggling with such as a physics concepts. We watch the video together and BINGO! Understanding is achieved and we're able to complete assignments easily.”Michelle F., Co-op Member |
I love DE Streaming.
At first I was concerned about the price but spoke with someone who told me they use it everyday of their school year so when you break it down that way its less than a dollar a day!
If that's not enough - all the Magic School Bus videos and the TV show with the kids and the Hacker are on there. This saves us money on DVDs or the trouble of borrowing them from the library or trying to find them on cable.
I am absolutely amazed at the amount of content and how easy it is to find videos on absolutely anything we have been interested in. I was so impressed by the fact that you can search by age level so I don't have to worry about whether something is going to be age-appropriate or not. I love that there are study notes and quizzes linked to some videos. Its also nice that you can organize the videos that you want into your own folders and label then e.g. science, math etc... to find them even more quickly the next time or to allow your child to go their folder on their own. Thanks so much for offering this!”Shawna M., Co-op Member |
I just purchased Discover Education Streaming Plus a month ago and can't say enough about it! We use it nearly every day, and I am amazed at the breadth, depth, and quality of content available. We have watched short videos on everything from photosynthesis to the Viking explorers to the U.S. currency system to King Arthur to the history of the American flag.
There are also many full-length programs available, such as Ken Burns documentaries and David Macaulay's wonderful series on the relationship between architecture, engineering, and culture ("City,""Castle," etc.).
Many video resources also include supplementary teacher materials such as black line maps, quizzes, crossword puzzles, lists and links to related resources, and so on.
I purchased a video cable and adapter to connect my Macbook to our TV screen so our family can view these wonderful videos and related materials together. This is an amazing resource for our family and well worth the annual subscription price.”Rebecca N., Co-op Member |
This past year was our first year of homeschooling. At the beginning of the year, Discovery Education Streaming Plus was one of our "Let's take a chance on this" buys, since I really had no idea how the year (or this product) would go.
I can honestly say it has been a fantastic service for us! It is truly one of the products we use on a daily basis. There was absolutely no question that we were going to renew. And honestly, with this being our first full year of homeschooling and using Discovery Streaming, I think there are even more features that I have yet to explore. For example, we have not yet used it for foreign language, but I've heard many people do that.
We use it primarily to supplement many of the subjects we do on a regular basis. No matter what the topic, Discovery Steaming has a VARIETY of videos that can help expand on it. Plus, you can choose to look at either a shorter segment, or a whole video on a topic. The choice is yours!
This year I'm going to explore more of the lesson planning, and try explanding to more subject areas (history and science were the biggest for us this year), but believe me, it has already been well worth the price, and will probably be even more so in the coming year.
Great, great product!”Patti, Co-op Member |
My family loves Discovery Education Streaming! It is a great resource that I am using to supplement my kids homeschool curriculum and since they are young, we plan on using this for many years to come.”Brenda G., Co-op Member |
I subscribed to DE last year to get Elementary Spanish, but have gotten so much more. We use the audio downloads almost daily on my Mp3 player at home, and my daughter has LOVED having Magic School Bus and other favorite programs available on demand. I love that, when I'm having a rough day, I can easily and quickly find a video or two that can supplement what we're doing.
This year, I'm getting plus!”Donna Metler, Co-op Member |
Our Discovery Education streaming subscription is by far the best money we have spent during our homeschool year. I am able to find videos to supplement every subject and because the website allows you to search by both age and subject, I can find what I need in a flash! My son loves these high quality, entertaining videos and begs to watch more. I couldn't be more pleased!”Cindi, Co-op Member |
The Discovery Education streaming Plus subscription has been great for our kids. My younger children are very visual learners. DE streaming is a reward for them, and they love having so many interesting videos to choose from.
The site has far greater functionality than I have had time to explore. Even without spending a lot of time learning how to use the site, we still enjoy a variety of options. Every day there is an historical reference to read about. There is a webinar coming up that is being hosted by our favorite famous biologist. I have downloaded and used some high quality PDFs for free. They are for use in conjunction with the streaming videos.
One of the best parts, for me, was the cost. It seemed high at first, but when I compared it to the cost of our subscription to a national home video delivery service, I realized DE streaming cost less.
Thank you, Homeschool Buyers Co-op. This has been another great buy for us.”Arianna, Co-op Member |
We have had DE Streaming Plus for about one month. There is an abundant of videos covering all subject matter: science, history, foreign languages, etc. We use it to supplement our current studies. For example, if we are reading about ancient Rome, we do a DE search for that and have a great variety of videos to watch. Because there are often so many videos returned, the search works best if you are specific: use "photosynthesis" instead of "plants." It is helpful that they are categorized by grade level. I like, too, that you can easily watch the whole video, or just the segment that pertains to a certain subject matter.
My 11yo has been learning Spanish most of her life. DE offers a great variety of videos done in Spanish. There are also quality Spanish learning curriculums. It would be helpful, though, if there was an easy way to search for the videos spoken in Spanish. It is easy to find the ones that are meant for learning the language, but it is cumbersome to find the ones that are replicas of an English video.
If you have Discovery, Science, History, etc. TV channels you could still benefit from DE. DE videos are available 24/7. Whereas the shows on TV are only at select times.”Heather D, Co-op Member |
LOVE IT! This is one resource I do not let lapse. The longer I homeschool the less I find that I need to purchase. However, Discovery Education Streaming Plus is a must have for us! It provides a myriad of educational and enrichment materials at all levels, so as we have moved from elementary through jr. high and now into high school, it just keeps on providing an amazing array of resources in all areas of subject matter! What a great coup for Homeschool Buyers Co-op to negotiate a great price for this! I heartily recommend it!”Pam W, Co-op Member |
This curriculum has been a God send!! I can't recommend this enough to anyone with a child that is a visual learner.
My 10 year old daughter has a severe form of dyslexia and finding a curriculum for her has been very difficult. I have tried many wonderful different curriculum's but none of them were working for her. Discovery Education Streaming has "broken through the barrier" and has made learning fun and she has retained what she has been learning. They even have math videos that teach fractions, algebra, etc!
I have recommended this to my friends with dyslexic children, but it is great for anyone. The discount that I got through Homeschool Buyers Co-op was the icing on the cake.... :-)”Julie T, Co-op Member |
This is an awesome resource to have at your fingertips. You can choose a French or Spanish class or watch MythBusters, Liberty Kids, Grossology or just do a search for a word and see what comes up. Very cool!”Leslie C, Co-op Member |
Our family enjoys using Discovery-education streaming Plus! There are videos and programs covering every subject area and for grades pre-K through adult education. It is wonderful to have instant access to information and videos covering so many topics. We will continue to subscribe to this each year.”Susan M., Co-op Member |
We are using DE as a supplement to our American History course right now. Every day, my son chooses a video on the topic we are covering. If there isn't one on that topic, he can choose one on any subject. I hope to expand to more subjects soon.
There is a wealth of information available.”Cindy Howard, Co-op Member |
We've subscribed to Discovery Education Streaming Plus through the Homeschool Buyers Co-op for two years now. This is our most valuable homeschooling resource, we use it for almost every subject, every single day. My six year old daughter is learning Spanish with Elementary Spanish. She watches fun math videos with the Number Crew. Magic School Bus is always a hit, but there's so much more.
It can be overwhelming with the vast amount of resources, so I've been trying to compile a list of video series. You may find it here:

We look forward to purchasing a DE Streaming Plus subscription every year. I talk about it often on the homeschooling forums I frequent, I even have it listed in my forum siggie. I highly, highly recommend Discovery Education Streaming Plus! ”Angela, Co-op Member, http://satorismiles.com |
Discovery-Education Streaming Plus has been one of the best resources we have ever used in our homeschool. It has been great to have educational videos on almost every topic we have studied at our fingertips. Since there are videos for every age of learner, I anticipate using this website for many years to come. Some of the subjects we have supplemented using Discovery Streaming include World History (Ancient, Middle Ages, Renaissance/ Reformation, and American), geology, astronomy, botany, zoology, music and art history, literature, and a whole host of "for fun" programs. I highly recommend this resource to all homeschoolers to help provide a well-informed and enjoyable education to your children.”Pam R., Co-op Member |
We LOVE our membership to Discovery Education!! They have videos to support the state standards that are entertaining and very interesting. The search function allows us to target our learning but you can also just explore for fun or less directed learning. I recommend Discovery Education Streaming to all our friends even those not homeschooling. The Coop price makes it affordable. Thank you for this opportunity.”B. Thompson, Co-op Member |
This has been a total answer to prayer! My daughter says she has learned more in the last 2 weeks, since we signed up, then she did the entire first half of the year. If you have a student who learns best from video, this is the ticket. I love the study questions, suggestions and quizzes that come with alot of the videos. And the games are just icing on the cake. THANK YOU FOR MAKING THIS AVAILABLE!”Eunice M. LaCoy, Co-op Member |
I cannot believe the discount on Discovery Education. We all are visual learners and I cannot begin to tell you how wonderful to have this resource for my children in the home. I highly recommend this purchase to anybody interested in purchasing DE. I will again subscribe. Thanks to the Co-op for the buying power to cut costs!”Claudia Dunston, Co-op Member |
I use this daily to supplement science or history for a middle-school child. I assign one video per day since my child learns best by seeing or hearing something. I enjoy the fact that she's absorbing more than she would be by reading. She enjoys the fact that she can "watch tv" for an hour of each homeschool day.”Amy S., Co-op Member |
The discount from Homeschool Buyers Co-op really helped us -- our budget is limited. My 16-year-old has already really enjoyed history documentaries and science and math programing on Discovery Education.
We will look forward to a whole year that will help us so much with our decision to home school.
I enjoy watching with her when I can!”K. Sith, Co-op Member |
DE Streaming Plus has been an incredibly valuable resource for our homeschool. I feel that we have gotten more use out of DE Streaming than out of any other online resource we have tried - and we have tried many.”Cyndi S, Co-op Member |
My kids are very fun-oriented and they love a good story. Some of our favorite and most exciting videos on Discovery Education Streaming were the animated stories about important and amazing people in history.”Sara McGrath, Co-op Member |
Easy to navigate. Can watch full videos or select specific segments (my fav). Great for enriching an otherwise boring textbook based course. You can make the video selection or allow your kids to select one pertaining to the lesson at hand. I've used it for years. Tried others but nothing compares. Couldn't imagine being without it!”Tammy J., Co-op Member |
Remember Movie Friday in "school" Well now you can do the same for your kids. Assign a great movie to watch that enhances what your kids have been learning all week. It makes a fun way to close the week out. OR... Worry free web searching for learning on your own. I have not found a topic not covered. All video divided out by age. The best thing is that they have been sectioned so you do not have to watch the whole thing if you do not want to.”Rhonda M., Co-op Member |
We use Discovery Ed Plus for History and Science. My daughter is a visual learner and learns so much from watching the videos. I highly recommend Discovery Ed. to supplement your curriculum.”Margaret B, Co-op Member |
Can not say enough good things about this resource. We use it constantly to reinforce or introduce ideas we are working on. I was at first reluctant to purchase this because of the price, but I can say that this will be the one subscription I will always budget for and keep renewing for years. Has many resources on many grade levels. My kids truly enjoy it. It is well organized, and customer service has always responded promptly to my questions. I highly recommend it.”Andrea Ragsdale, Co-op Member |
This product is exceptional. You can find quality educational videos for almost any subject. My son loves it. We have been using it for over 3 years now and found it to be exceptional. We use it nearly every day.”J. Sharkey, Co-op Member |
This has been a worthwhile investment for our family! We've subscribed the last two years and have really made good use of it. We can find information on almost any topic we are studying and both of my children have learned a great deal. They BEG to watch more and choose to watch additional videos on their own. I really like the fact that we can find age appropriate information that suits our needs. We can watch a 2 minute clip or an hour long video. I will continue to subscribe as long as my children are in school. We highly recommend it!”Nancy, Co-op Member |
We love DE+. We use it from 2 times a week to everyday. My children love to use it to learn about the world and other cultures. They can watch the films and feel like they are there. I love the science videos they are very informative.”Chris A., Co-op Member |
This is my first year using Discovery Education. It has been such a help to me. I needed to add some life into my science and history curriculum. It definitely has done that. My kids love the shows I select for them. I am amazed at how much this has added to our success as homeschoolers.”Mary D., Co-op Member |
We love Discovery-Education and use it everyday. Recently we watch a fascinating move about mushrooms. Thanks so much for this priceless tool at price that fits my budget.”Heather G, Co-op Member |
Discovery Education Steaming has become a main feature in our learning day. While both of my children use DS, my son especially depends on this resource. He loves being able to search his interests and know that the choices offered are dependably good.”Ame Laeyendecker, Co-op Member |
I have subscribed to the DE streaming offer for the last three years, last year I upgraded to the Plus. It has been well worth the money spent. One of my children is a visual learner and being able to play a video clip to introduce a topic has been great. I've used some of the videos along with the teachers' resources with my co-op classes, even assigning some for homework. Having resources available on just about every topic imaginable saves me a bunch of time hunting up the enrichment resources I like to include in my classes. Thank you for a great product offering.”HollyAnne, Co-op Member |
The videos on Discovery Education are a great supplement to any topic we are studying at the moment. I can ALWAYS find something relevent and useful that further demonstrates or explains a concept or idea.”Karen P., Co-op Member |
We use our Discovery-Education streaming plus subscription nearly every day with our second-grader. Our annual subscription is a "must-have" for our homeschool. We upgraded from the basic subscription so we could have access to more of the material and we are glad we did. Discovery Education Plus is a marvelous supplement and deepens the learning!”Anne G., Co-op Member |
We will renew this membership! It is the best visual aide. We keep our laptop in our study area for easy access and use it daily!”A. Josi, Co-op Member |
Discovery has not only greatly enhanced our family eTAP subscription, but it has also been a rich audiovisual treasury that my children enjoy watching after school for enjoyment. We could supplement any social studies or science curricula with the videos, so we plan to continue to use Discovery in the future.”S. M., Co-op Member |
This is a great website, It is so great to find videos on all kinds of thing and to have teacher guides as well. Easy to find videos with searches as well. Great site!!”Lisa H, Co-op Member |
We use Discovery Education streaming plus several times a week. I love their search function where you can specify age/grade levels when looking for appropriate viewing material. There really is something for every child (and adult!) here. I also like how the videos are often divided into segments, so you can view the entire episode or just the part you need. It works really well for kids who need to see how something works and not just read about it. My son wants to use it all the time.”Michele, Co-op Member |
Discovery Education streaming Plus has been THE best investment I made for home schooling. We use the Elementary Spanish course and on-line Art Tango art lessons each week. The programs come complete with downloadable teacher guides and black-line master worksheets. There are helpful songs, good encyclopedia articles, images and great movies to supplement our history, social studies, science, music and religion courses.
I have used the teacher enrichment programs to learn ways to bring multi-media into our learning -- teaching the children to create powerpoint presentations, make videos, and use graphic design programs to share what they have learned. DE streaming is easy to use. You'll be impressed by the quantity of high quality materials available.”Mary C, Co-op Member |
Discovery's Streaming Video has made a HUGE difference in our homeschool! We use to watch youtube video (as I could find them) but it was very hit or miss plus you NEVER know how kid-appropriate material would be -- But this is different! This product allows you to search by keyword through thousands of kid appropraite high quality EDUCATIONAL videos to find what you need. So no matter what we're studying I'm sure to find something interesting to supplement our curriculum. My kids love it! They always ask if we can watch a video about what we're learning about. This is our first year and I've so far seen a huge return on our investment. Even in their free time my kids choose to watch these videos over a movie. This is a gold mine for our family! It's so easy to use and my kids are learning a lot! I can see us continuing to use Discovery's Streaming Video for years to come -- it's that good!”Melissa B., Co-op Member |
I have been using DE Streaming Plus for several months and it is one of the best investments I have made for my family since we began homeschooling. I was familiar with the service from my years as a teacher and it was a resource I missed greatly and wished I had again once I began teaching my own children. I needed very little convincing to take advantage of the deal through the Homeschool Buyers Co-op once I saw it was available and I knew within weeks that I would already be renewing next year if the deal was offered to me again.
My children are four and six. They respond well to video. I often set the little one up to watch something from PBS while I am working with the eldest. I frequently will search for a topic to supplement a new topic. This was very useful when we began studying geometric solids. I think the ability to animate mathematical ideas is really helpful and both children retained quite a bit of information from that unit, even though only the six year old was technically studying solids at that point.
Because search results give you the option of finding complete videos or shorter segments within a video, I can easily find a two to three minute clip that specifically addresses a topic either child happens to be struggling with at the time.
I personally use DE Streaming Plus while planning. I appreciate the ability to save search results into folders of my own design. Sometimes I will watch the high school level content on a new topic before I introduce the topic to my children. I do this especially before preparing one of my co-op lessons. The service also provides images in the search results and I use those frequently in my preparations and lesson plans.
I might not use the site each week as I don't always plan for brand new material each week. What I have found is that when I need the site to solve a problem, I get my problem solved within minutes. My children aren't learning independently yet - when that happens I can only imagine I will find this service even more valuable.”K. MacPherson, Co-op Member |
I use this to enhance my science teaching (we are doing Sonlight Science 5, The Human Body). I can find short videos on all of the subjects covered in my curriculum. There isn't much to help with humanities, but the science content makes it worth the cost.”MC, Co-op Member |
I am a single mother of a 12 year old 7th grader and having this product at an affordable price has been a dream. My daughter and I just love it. We have learned so much history together. I watch all the videos with her and love the educational tools. I love the search engine and the ability to either view entire selections or just clips...A great product. We use it all the time and I have found nothing on the market that compares to it. Very pleased.”Yolanda Phelps, Co-op Member |
We have a son with autism who is very book smart. This site was a BLESSING to us! It gave him the independance to look up and learn things on his own. Books are great, but this also helped give him a visual clear concise description about what was happening and why.”sherri v, Co-op Member |
This is such an incredible program. It is like having a video library at your fingertips. There are so many topics to choose from. My kids love using Discovery streaming because it is so much more convenient than the library. At the library, we have to search online for the subject, sift through titles to find a video of interest, then put it on hold and wait and wait until it becomes available. By this time, we would have moved on to another subject. Discovery streaming is convenient and always available. It is a great asset to our homeschooling programs. Thanks so much for making this available, Homeschool Buyers Co-op.”Terri Standley, Co-op Member |
This is definitely one of the best resources for our homeschooling. Hardly a day goes by that we don't watch a documentary or program that supplements our curriculum, and my kids love it! Thank you HSBC for offering it at such a huge discount!”Pam R., Co-op Member |
Thank you SO much for making this subscription available to homeschoolers! This is a wonderful program, and I believe it will benefit our science learning tremendously!”D. Hockman, Co-op Member |
I am really excited to see that the Plus version of Discovery Streaming is coming to the co-op! I purchased the basic back in June and love it! Thanks for all the great resources you all are pulling together for us. I just subscribed to netTrekker d.i. - wow! Is that going to streamline my processes in planning unique lessons for my boys!”Pam W., Co-op Member |
We LOVE DE streaming! My dh and I have even been known to sit around on the weekend and watch documentaries together as if we had our own educational tv channel. My children are completing their second year of Elementary Spanish video lessons and I plan to continue those for several more years. Thank you Homeschool Buyers Co-op so much again for your work in bringing Discovery Education to the homeschooling community.”Lisa S., Co-op Member |
As a home schooling parent, sometimes reading about ancient history just isn't enough, and the library resources are limited. I have enjoyed the age appropriate films which I can watch either as segments or in full on demand, before and with my children (elementary, junior high and high school aged)and it has REALLY helped them understand the ancient civilizations we are studying.”Cindy W, Co-op Member |
I am new to homeschooling and I am also teaching a special needs child. My son has autism. The Discovery Education streaming video program has proved to be one of my best tools and I'm so thrilled to have this available at such a reasonable price! My son is a strong visual learner and we are using videos for support for things like learning what nouns and verbs are, reading classic literature,understanding how thermometers work, identifying properties of matter, and so much more. Just about every subject that I have been struggling with trying to figure out how to introduce or reinforce, there has been an appropriate video. I've also received great technical support from the company on a couple of questions I've had. I have told so many people how great this service has been for us and would definitely continue to use it in the years to come. I'm so thankful for the co-op purchasing program and the many other Moms who shared their testimonials with me!”Karin Barasa, Co-op Member |
My kids really like the presentations in the Streaming program. We use it both to supplement subjects we're studying and as an edu-entertainment resource. I would say that I use it no fewer than 2 times per week and hope to continue to use it.”Tara,G., Co-op Member |
We use it to supplement our science studies. My kids are in awe of the details and look forward to the movies. The clear and precise way the information is presented helps them to retain what they learn. I like the search feature. I can find the right resource and begin showing it in under 2 minutes. I have shared this with my homeschool group. I think the only thing that may cause them to hesitate is the up front cost. If they could pay by the month I am sure some would join.”Terri G., Co-op Member |
This is a wonderful tool for my family. It is easy to use and fast to search for things, they are very well grouped.”Mary T., Co-op Member |
We've really enjoyed the Discovery Education video service. My daughter's 12, and there are hundreds of videos targeted at that age range. Her favorites so far are the math videos (go figure!), but we've watched a lot of science and history videos as well.”Rhee Eliker, Co-op Member |
