Thing 5 #2

I am fortunate to be teaching my Algebra course from a Prentice Hall textbook that comes with all kinds of on-line support for students.  Most of the students will use the on-line support just for the on-line text-book, but there are many other resources out there for them.  They can watch a "teacher" re-teach a lesson and/or just go through examples step-by-step.  My Algebra class is a co-taught class with several special-ed students who need constant re-teaching.  This is a great way for these kids to get help while at home.  The materials offered by Prentice Hall also would be great for a student who has missed an excess amount of time in class.  If a student needs help on a lesson and just needs to see the instruction a different way, this if a great option for them as well.  I like that they can also have a parent sit with them and the student could teach the parent how to do the assignment.  It is so beneficially for students to explain how to do the problems and not just do the problems.
