Advanced Search


Hello,

When I was narrowing my search using the Curriculum Standards Search blanks on the home page, Discovery Education returned 1049 hits for the analyzing literature standard involving characters, plot, theme, etc. Being overwhelmed, Debbie advised I try the Advanced Search option at the top of the screen. This helped me narrow my topic since I could now select a specific genre of literature in the Keyword blank. For example, I typed in Greek myth. This brought the number down to 45. Thanks, Debbie!

And not that I can’t connect the standards without digital help, but does anyone know how to change to Wisconsin Standards when you click on a video not located using the Curriculum Standards Search blanks on the home page? The default seems to be Illinois. (Illinois standards are very similar to ours, so this may be an irrelevant question.) Maybe all videos aren’t linked to all standards?
