Textbook Access Instructions

To access your online textbook, open the link below with instructions.

http://cwwh.wikispaces.com/file/detail/K12+STUDENT+CourseMate+eBook+Code+Directions.pdf

You will need the following access key: ELPPNMQCPPP1J5

Once you open the online book, MindTap will be where you actually read the textbook. You can see which sections to read by looking at the calendar on the bottom of the blog. They will be listed as MT______ (ex. MT8-3A) which will correspond to the table of contents on your online book.

Please do not wait to start logging on to the textbook. While the first and second sets of reading pages are in PDF format to give you time to get any issues with the online book/electronic availability worked out, starting on October 4th, you will be expected to read the book exclusively online.

Note-taking Video

https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=pZgMpjjgCRA&t=405s

This video will be shown to newcomers at every note-taking tutorial, so if you want to get a step ahead (or if you can't make it to tutoring), watch this video! It gives some good ideas on how to take notes in a way that ensures you are PROCESSING the information, not just copying it down with no understanding. It also has some great suggestions for visual learners.

Note-taking tutorials will continue through Friday, 9/22!
