Switching your DE streaming account from
one school to another

First you need to know your new
school’s passcode
 Where would you get that code?
 Ask your Media Specialist or School
Librarian
 Email Janet Hallstrom at
jhallstrom@mail.clay.k12.fl.us
 Check your Staff Tab of your school on
Blackboard

What is a passcode?
 A passcode is an eight digit/character
combined code that is unique to each
subscribing school
 Teachers use this passcode to create
their own usernames/passwords
 Once a teacher creates their own
username/password they do not need
to use the passcode again
 Let’s take a look at the process

It is not necessary to create

students work. The easiest
way is to use Assignment
Builder and give the URL
and let the students sign in
for themselves.

About Student Access:
• How do my students log in?
CR • Students go to
www.discoveryeducation.com and log in
with the username/password assigned
to them
• Students go to the assigned url and just
sign in with their first and last name.

Why do my students have to validate if they are 13
years or younger?

Beginning on October 30, 2009, all students will be required to
confirm their age. This prompt will display only once per student
user as long as they complete the required action.

If students indicate that they are older than 13, they will be
directed into the Student Center and will not be prompted with this
question again.

If students indicate that they are younger than 13:

They will be asked to enter a parent's e-mail address. DE will
send an e-mail to the parent with notification that their child is
utilizing www.discoveryeducation.com site.

If students cannot provide a parent's e-mail address, they will
access to print a PDF version of the email to give to their parents.
Upon entering their parent's e-mail address or printing the PDF,
students will be directed into the Student Center. They will not be
prompted with this request again.
