Discovery Education is the home, school and streaming media arm of Discovery Networks for educational purposes. They say Discovery is the number one non-fiction brand in the world, and who am I to argue? Discovery Education offers everything from DVDs to courseware to streaming packages of their vast science and technology library. They'll even sell you a server loaded up with their stuff. Pretty cool. They've got Mythbusters, y'know.
