INTRO TO REMOTE LEARNING

​

Moving into the next phase students will need to log into Pearson through the "Clever" portal and then complete assigned online work.

​

How do students sign on to "Clever"?  There is a "Clever" link on the district's home page under the "students" at the top of the page.  Students can also go directly to clever.com to log in.  The log in prompt requires students to type: "district\your school computer login" in the user name and "your school computer password" in the password line.  

​

Once into clever, click on "Pearson Easy Bridge".  Then click on "Pearson Realize". Then click on the green "Elevate Course 3".  From there you can navigate through "topic 6" by clicking on it.  

​

​

To kick off the chapter, I would like for you to answer the "Essential

Question" on page 299.

 

The "Quest" activity focuses on the ancient animal, Dimetrodon. 

Log onto Pearson and complete the assigned Chapter 6

"Quest Kickoff:  The Big Fossil Hunt".  This is not for a grade.  It

is a good way to get acquainted with the format and I can also

see who has completed it and who might still be struggling to

navigate the resources.  

​

Here is a nice video on Dimetrodon.
