One of the benefits of a technological age is our ability to access things through different mediums. Our students have the opportunity to not only access their textbooks through print in the classroom, but also have the opportunity to access their textbooks virtually through the Pearson website. Students will need to know how to navigate this site because they will be required to use it to do at home readings, online essays and other classroom activities. The link to the website is below.
