So what is the buzz about the Google Integration? Well, DCS is linking our google accounts with Discovery Education accounts. This process is called SSO (or single sign on) or Google User Provisioning. Once everyone is moved over, students and teachers will be able to login at www.google.discoveryeducation.com. Sounds exhausting, right? Well this new process will be able to update students and teachers accounts automatically. But enough about the nuts and bolts...
But that's not all. Check out some of the other cool things Discovery Education has to offer... Take a virtual field trip with Discovery Education on October 8th to Kilimanjaro. Join 10 students, 12 educators, and 4 scientists representing Nigeria, Oman, South Africa, Tanzania, and the United States. This international team will attempt to climb Mount Kilimanjaro, one of the world's Seven Summits, and the tallest mountain on the African continent. Register here: Kilimanjaro Expedition.
