What is a school license?

A School License is a multi-user PDF of most books (or videos where available) we offer–textbooks, curricula, lesson plans, student workbooks, and more–that can be used on every digital device in your school–iPads, Macs, PCs, Chromebooks, laptops, netbooks, smartphones, iPods whether they’re in a classroom, the library, one of the tech labs. As many as the school wants. It is perfect for private schools, independent schools, charter schools, public schools–any school with a 1:1 program, multiple computer labs, or classroom computer pods.

Benefits of a School License

provide an overarching curriculum map for using technology in your school
provide access to full text PDF from every digital device in your school, 24 hours a day. This maximizes productivity and student independence.
enable flexible learning paths as students work at their own pace, with the ability to review or work ahead as needed
share tech-in-ed pedagogy to infuse your school with technology
enable teachers to vertically integrate with core grade-level teachers
provide multiple authentic and organic formative and summative assessments
provide free online Help via Ask a Tech Teacher (staffed by educators who use SL resources).

Benefits of School License for Students

provide easy access to monthly lessons, how-tos, rubrics, project samples, practice quizzes, grade-level expectations, homework, images, and checklists (grade level Scope and Sequence and the Ready to Move On monthly keyboard workbooks lists, for example)
provide full color instructions that can be zoomed in on for greater detail
allow a convenient place to take lesson notes (using a PDF annotator)
encourage students to be independent in their learning, work at their own pace. This is great both for students who need more time and those who ‘get it’ and want to move on
enable a quick way to spiral up for quick learners or back to earlier resources for student needing to scaffold their learning
prepare students for the rigor of end-of-year summative testing
