Education materials publisher McGraw-Hill Education, US, has launched a series of K-12 products designed to meet schools' growing demand for digital solutions at the International Society of Technology in Education's (ISTE) annual conference. The digital solutions are expected to increase student engagement and effectively drive achievement.
The products address four principal themes in educational technology: bookless learning and mobile devices, serious gaming, interactive whiteboard instruction, and assessment solutions. McGraw-Hill is showcasing 24 digitally-focused products at its paperless booth, including four that are launching at the conference. These include CINCH Learning, Spark!, College & Career Readiness, Acuity for High School and LAS Links Online.
An all-digital, cloud-based curriculum for K-12 math and 7-12 science, CINCH Learning is projected as the first programme of its kind that students can access on any tablet, computer or mobile device they choose. Developed in partnership with 360Ed, Spark! is a suite of online courses designed to engage students with rich-media content and an online network that encourages them to collaborate and explore.
McGraw-Hill Education has created the all-digital College & Career Readiness programme designed to promote post-secondary success. This product builds students' knowledge of how to finance college, navigate the application process and choose a career path, and offers guidance from virtual mentors.
Emerging from the Common Core State Standards, the Acuity InFormative Assessment solution for high school helps teachers gauge student performance and deliver tailored instruction for every student. It is said to go beyond simple Common Core alignment to adapt to the new way that these new standards have asked students to think. LAS Links Online captures students' spoken and written responses digitally, allowing teachers to score responses anytime, anywhere.
