The website will enhance the teaching by allowing students not to carry home a text book, the ability to access materials that may have been forgotten or to re-learn what was read or taught.
The maps will allow for immediate answers to questions that may arise while reading or working in addition to parents being able to see what is being learned at hom.
I really enjoyed the interactive maps that go along with the Glencoe materials. I think that they are easy to understand and fun to use.
The Glencoe website will be a tool that will aid me during instruction. The video aspect of the website and cds are extremely beneficial. I like to use predictions with videos in order to spark student interest.
I think that by using the website we will be able to use the glencoe resources such as chapter quizzes as well as the TIME features.

I think that the website and interactive CDs will be very beneficial to the students and teachers.
I have had some experience with the Glencoe web site. I found it easy to use and the resources were excellent. I will of course make my students familiar with it, if for no other purpose than to take the "I forgot my book issue out of the equation". I intend to write the parents a letter and advise them of the site. Additonally, I will of course make the parents aware of the Wiki, which I plan to use as my communications toll with parents and students. Jim
I loved the self-quizzes and the on-line student book feature on the Glencoe site. I plan to have kids complete the self-quizzes periodically to assess their own understanding of the material. The online book will free some students from taking the book home.
Well, I did not get to go on the website. I worked with the exampro and found that to be beneficial because it saves a lot of typing time for creating test and quizzes.
I also like the student textbook being accessible online.
I intend to use the interactive maps to reteach and enforce my students background knowledge on geography as well as introduce historical events.
I like the fact of being able to use the interactive components of the site. The puzzles and quizzes will be very beneficial. I will use the interactive puzzles as well as the quizzes to assess my students on a weekly basis
The website is very beneficial for the students and the teacher. It allows the students to realistically do homework without having to carry their texbook home. Teachers can use the website to plan lessons more effficiently.
I am looking forwards to having the student textbook on line also just because of the condition the regular books get returned to us (if they get returned). The interactive maps will also be more interesting for the students.
-Using maps, would help with instruction.
