full length tests The manage tab allows you to edit

01:59

due dates see standards and add or remove students either

02:04

by sharing the classroom code or via email invites But

02:09

the great book is the real meat and potatoes here

02:11

Or uh well soy burger and snap peas if you're

02:14

looking to cut back all right well this is where

02:16

the student data lives breathes and needs to be grated

02:19

it's something like a real life grade book on lee

02:21

you don't have to worry about getting ink on inside

02:23

of your hand from the great book man attacked You

02:26

can invite students to join your classroom and then manager

02:29

student roster going forward on the great book tab you'll

02:32

see your students overall progress at a glance or you

02:45

assignments online here and quickly and easily navigate from one

02:49

student to another or within one student from one assignment

02:52

to another So yeah pretty much anything you want to

02:55

do the great books your oyster or something less slimy

02:59

Now how about the courses themselves First of all you

03:03

won't ever have to worry that we don't have you

03:05

covered no matter what subject shmoop offers full courses in

03:08

a wide variety of content areas including math yell a

03:11

life skills writing pbs and oh so much more Once

03:16

you've selected the course you're interested in him up will

03:18

help you tailor it to your specific needs and desires

03:21

One attack the course to the common core done wanna

03:25

program the course has set off in actual fireworks display

03:28

any time one of your students aces a quiz Well

03:31

we're working on that one as soon as the technologies

03:33

here will be all over it like bees on honey

03:35

promise so you probably want to know what you're getting

03:38

into What do these courses consist of Well good question

03:41

everyone of our courses is relevant engaging challenging and totally

03:45

comprehensive with a focus on technology based learning In addition

03:49

to a virtual textbook consisting of in depth readings and

03:52

lessons you'll find activities and assignments complete with grating rubrics

03:57

and unit and final exams for full semester courses as

04:01

well as informative and entertaining videos that lend assistance to

04:04

your more visual learners You know videos like this one

04:07

you're watching right now my charming voice or not all

04:10

right there's also the opportunity for credit recovery so that

04:13

if a student fails of course they won't necessarily be

04:16

totally dead in the water Instead you'll be able to

04:18

really man and give him another chance by tossing them

04:21

back into the ocean metaphorically of course it we can't

04:25

in good conscience recommend ever throwing any of your students

04:27

overboard Muchas you might like to we know you don't

04:30

want your students falling behind or having to repeat an

04:32

entire semester so credit recovery is a big thing for

04:35

us Our courses are adaptive so that if a student

04:38

tests out of a unit i'ii score seventy percent or

04:40

higher they can move on to the next level As

04:43

faras credit recovery options go ours are by far the

04:46

most affordable you confined were more up to date with

04:48

common core and we place more of an emphasis on

04:51

critical thinking in project base assignments that don't let students

04:55

brains go on any early vacations And of course as

04:58

with all shmoop projects were hipper were funnier and dogon

05:02

people like us really you like us You think norman

05:05

once you set up your classroom and have your gradebook

05:08

up and running managing assignments your students and maybe even

05:12

that unwieldy hairdo of yours will become a breeze any

05:15

questions ping us at support at shmoop dot com we

05:19
