Gaggle Launches Single Sign-on for Discovery Education™

BLOOMINGTON, Ill., May 10, 2011 /PRNewswire/ -- Gaggle, the leading provider of safe online collaboration and productivity tools, announced today Discovery Education users will now be able to access their account with one click. Users who have already logged into Gaggle will be able to access their Discovery Education account through a portal with one easy click, rather than being asked for their username and password in both systems.

"Portal Links have been available to Gaggle users for some time now, but this latest improvement takes it to a new level," explained Jeff Patterson, Gaggle CEO. "With the addition of single sign-on connectivity with Discovery Education it is a step towards reducing the workload for IT staff and providing access to educational resources with as little complexity as possible."

"The integration of our two tools provides users with the opportunity to access Gaggle's great communication and productivity tools and the wealth of educational content at Discovery Education with little more than a click of the mouse," explained Nicholas Aplington-Johnson, Gaggle System Support Engineer. "This is a great resource for teachers and students alike."
