Teachers Can Create Mini-textbooks
- See also How To Use My Bookmarks.
- You can create anything from a mini-book on a topic such as Rounding Whole Numbers to a complete text on mathematics for a specific student, group or class.
- In My Bookmarks you can arrange the MTSonline Activities in any order you like, download them to your computer, and duplicate and staple the number of copies you need.
- You can also customize the Activities prior to printing - imagine a student having his/her personalized mini-text with his/her name and photo on each page.
Teachers Can Do Away With:
- Textbooks! They are no longer needed.
- The flexibility of task selection across levels of learning puts the teacher, not the text, in the driver's seat.
- The savings on textbook purchases are enormous for both parents and schools.
