WHAT IS eDscape?

eDscape is an online educational resource for teachers and students created
by Simon & Schuster. eDscape is a free and subscription-based service,
providing Internet-relevant projects and activities, all matched to national
learning standards with lesson plans and assessment rubrics.


HOW DO I GET AROUND THE SITE?
In addition to "hot" links throughout eDscape, global navigation is located
in the upper right corner of the web pages.


WHAT IF I GET LOST?
In addition to using global navigation, you can use the "back arrow" on your
browser to retrace your steps to previous locations you have visited.


HOW DO I GET BACK TO CCC, EMG, GLOBE FEARON, MCP, PRENTICE HALL, OR SBG?
On the eDscape Home Page, you will find an eDscape Publishers button. Click
on that to access links to any of the eDscape Publishing Partners.


WHAT'S THE DIFFERENCE BETWEEN REGISTRATION AND SUBSCRIPTION?
Registration is FREE, but required for: Ed Buzz, Teacher Search and Lesson
Plans. One reason for this is to place your data in the Teacher Search
section, so that your colleagues can communicate with you. Subscription
enables you to access the "pay" portion of eDscape, primarily the curriculum
materials custom-created for eDscape.


HOW DO I REGISTER AND/OR SUBSCRIBE?
Click here to go to the Registration & Subscription page.


HOW DO I USE THE PASSWORDS I RECEIVE AFTER REGISTERING OR SUBSCRIBING?
Registration -- Use your Teacher name and password for hotlinks marked with a
small purple key. Subscription -- You and your students use the Student Projects name and password
to access paid curriculum projects marked with a small purple key.


HOW DO I USE THE TEACHER CONFERENCE AREAS (Ed Buzz)?
In the conference area you can post messages or questions, then return
regularly to see how other teachers respond.


WHEN WILL CURRICULUM FOR ALL THE GRADE LEVELS AND DISCIPLINES BE AVAILABLE?
eDscape will be continually adding new content. You should check the "What's
New" page for current update and coming attractions.


HOW IS eDscape DIFFERENT FROM OTHER EDUCATIONAL ONLINE SERVICES?
eDscape is unique for several reasons. First, the curriculum projects on
eDscape are like mini-software applications, taking advantage of Internet
technology to provide a valuable instructional tool. Second, eDscape helps
you easily integrate the online curriculum in your classroom, providing
correlations to other educational media such as textbooks and software.


HOW DO I FIND INFORMATION ABOUT ANY OF THE Simon & Schuster eDscape PARTNERS AND THEIR PRODUCTS?
On the eDscape Home Page, you will find a "Partners" button. Click on that
to access links to any of the eDscape Publishing Partners. You will find
product and ordering information at all the partner sites.


WHERE CAN I FIND POINTERS ON USING THE INTERNET AND eDscape IN THE CLASSROOM?

Internet Training, coming this September.
