Navigating the Landing Page

The homepage is divided into two main parts: My Subscriptions in the middle and Learning Students on the right. My Subscriptions Each book has an entry with the title and the cover of the book, as shown on the left. Some books may have multiple links associated the title, but all will have at least one link with the program. This link will take you directly into your Online Edition for that title. Other links include Electronic Interac-tive Presentations, which we’ll cover later, and State-specific Resources. My Students The blue column on the right is where teachers can manage the online class. This column has links for adding individual stu-dents or adding new classes. They can also edit or delete a class or student record as needed. They can even view and print class rosters. Also found in the Learning Management Center is the Assignment Management section. From here teachers can enter our assessment system, from which they can create and administer tests to the students and classes they have created. Teachers can even run reports on student and class performance.

Navigating the Online Editions

When is a book not a book? When it is an online edition. Our online programs contain the same, full student edition that you would find in print, but also a host of additional re-sources described below. Navigating the Online Editions When you first click into the book, you will see a screen like the one on the left. 1. Back will take you to the previous page

and Next will take you to the next page. 2. Explore will take you to additional enrich-

ment activities. 3. My eProducts will take you back to the My

Subscriptions homepage. 4. When you click on a Unit title, the contents

within that unit will appear, such as Start with a Story and unit chapters.

Interactive Online Editions include features such as the Start with a Video DVD, which in-clude features at the beginning of every unit, Interactive Visuals, point-of-use audio, a multi-media glossary, and an atlas. Additional intervention assistance is available with the enhanced online version, which uses Live Ink™ to assist student reading and com-prehension of the text in grades 3–6. Live Ink (grades 3–6) is an online technology en-hancement that increases students’ compre-hension, helping them to remember more about what they read and to improve their test scores.
