You can access Discovery Education within Microsoft, as well as embed resources in your classroom space on Teams to keep all of your learning in a single place for students. Available for United States partners only at this time.
For students to access Discovery Education resources in Teams, they must log in to Discovery Education first. A simple way is to open Discovery Education in a separate tab before using Teams. Alternatively, teachers can add a Clever/Classlink channel in Teams for easy student access.
Once logged in, access Apps from the left menu bar.
In the search box, type Discovery Education, and select the app from the options. Click Add.
From any Teams screen, you can search Discovery Education from the top search bar.
- Type @Discovery Education and select it from the drop down to turn on Discovery Education search.
- Type in your keyword and select if you want a filter.
- A list of results appears. Click on the resource you’d like to explore more.
- Click the Copy icon in the upper right corner of the resource. This can then be pasted anywhere for students to access (including OneNote Notebooks).
How do I add Discovery Education resources?
As of June 1, 2024, this integration will no longer be supported. If you have questions or desire additional information, please contact us.
In addition to sharing resources from a search in posts, another option for incorporating Discovery Education resources into Teams is to post Content Channels directly into your Teams Channels.
For example, in your General Channel you might want to guide students to timely and relevant information. Consider adding a tab to embed Discovery Education’s News & Current Events content channel.
To do this, select the PLUS icon from the top menu, select the Discovery Education app, click Add, and then select the Channel to save to its own tab.
How do I share resources to Teams?
If you log into Discovery Education (not within Teams) and search and find a resource you want to share with your students, select Share and then select the Microsoft Teams icon to add it directly to Teams.
How do I share a Studio Project or Quiz?
All Studio projects can be assigned within the Discovery Education platform. A student selects Mark as Complete (if no quiz modules) or Submit Assignment (with quiz modules) in Discovery Education and a teacher tracks results in Classrooms.
For a board or slideshow (without quiz modules) to be collaborative, a teacher needs to share within the Discovery Education platform. Teachers generally use Microsoft Teams to alert students to log into Discovery Education to access the assignment.
Alternatively, the Share URL for a Studio project can be shared in Teams. This places all students on a single board as read-only. Note: If your Studio project has a quiz module, it must be assigned, not shared, so that each student has their own version to answer the quiz questions.

How do I assign Assessments?
Any assessment within Discovery Education, whether created in Assessment Builder or found within one of our Techbooks, must be assigned within the Discovery Education platform. Students log into Discovery Education to complete the assessment. Teachers can access results in Classrooms (for those created in Assessment Builder) or the Techbook Dashboard (for Science Techbook, Math Techbook, or Social Studies Techbook Assessments). Teachers generally use Microsoft Teams to alert students to log into Discovery Education to access the assignment.
