Concerned that Studies Weekly, though a really neat format, wouldn’t hold up over multiple years of teaching.

# data[].attributes.body
Really would like new atlases (hard copies).

# data[].attributes.body
Would we get a class set of whatever is chosen?

# data[].attributes.body
I feel we need hard copies over electronic as not all students have Internet access daily, and we only get to get into the lab twice a month max.

# data[].attributes.body
All the materials are at least pretty good, with great visuals and some nice teaching ideas.  They all do an OK job of explaining what’s in the standards with a bit extra – not very deep, but adequate.  A good teacher would definitely want to supplement all of them.

I liked the intimate feel of the Studies Weekly materials – I think the kids would like having their own newspaper to read, and much of the information is high-interest.

The Clairmont book seems to cover the standards the best of the materials under review.

Dicovery Ed. has great visuals and some interesting info and overall a nice presentation.  Don’t like the fact that it’s only digital – see below.

Clairmont and Discovery have nice maps; S. Weekly is OK.

Would really need to get with the vender to change the sequencing or Cobb would have to change the pacing - Would not be feasible to switch from one weekly newspaper and then jump around to other weeks.

Still have old school parents who NEED and freak out if they don't have a book...with pages and to be sent home

Online resources are a worry. Even though most of our kids have access, this gives them the perfect excuse not to do work...."My computer was broken, my sister was using it....."

I found it difficult to accurately

These are really needed in a largely based geography course. Can they be an add on/incentive in a contract? Just thinking outside the box.

Our team has spent a total of 10 days out with the flu. Needless to say, we have been focused on covering for each other. We could use some more time....especially for DE.

# data[].attributes.body
Will this be implemented like ELA's Springboard? SS teachers have expressed worries about this.

# data[].attributes.body
Many schools lack technology to use fully the digital resources. This is a concern.

# data[].attributes.body
The coThis resource was not aligned to our conten

# data[].attributes.body
Will we have extra papers for students who move in during the year?

# data[].attributes.body
Going along with who gets them, the question would be "How many years will this adoption last?" Will we be able to get more?

# data[].attributes.body
This is a great resource. However, the papers rip easily. Would there be digital
access for all students even from home.

# data[].attributes.body
We are in desperate need of new atlases as well as text books. New atlases would help tremendously.

# data[].attributes.body
Like the fresh/ new way the information is presented. I think students would have fun getting a new newspaper each week. Keep them engaged.

# data[].attributes.body
I really enjoyed the tasks and higher order though students were asked to apply to different readings. I could see this being valuable to many of our Geo standards

# data[].attributes.body
Lack of student atlas sets to use in class with any of the options. Digital only runs into issues.

# data[].attributes.body
Too much that isn't even covered in our standards.

# data[].attributes.body
Would it be a class set of books or one per student?

# data[].attributes.body
We're worried about the size.

# data[].attributes.body
I loved the stories...high interest

# data[].attributes.body
Does every student get a newspaper? What about new students who enroll throughout the year?

# data[].attributes.body
I really like the ability to set up classes online and allow students to interact with the content

# data[].attributes.body
Forgot to mention that I love how much it will help parents understand what we are doing

# data[].attributes.body
Too much of the textbook is devoted to material that really isn't in our standards anymore.

# data[].attributes.body
None.

# data[].attributes.body
Like how the book is set up, lots of visuals and maps

# data[].attributes.body
Students tend to want online access to all text material. Will we be given that?

# data[].attributes.body
I would like to see a variety of resources since our learners are different. Therefore we need a variety of resources to reach all learners.

# data[].attributes.body
I like each student having a paper, but I am concerned about how long they will survive in a middle school classroom.

# data[].attributes.body
Roll out? Class sets or books for all?

# data[].attributes.body
The worry is always whether or not the textbook will have longterm relevancy for when the standards change in the future.

# data[].attributes.body
It came as a newspaper. My concern and question is that it is not durable for student use. There is a digital version, but is there something more durable for student use?

# data[].attributes.body
Engaging for the students and easy to follow

# data[].attributes.body
I like the weekly planned magazines and how the textbook is organized.

# data[].attributes.body
Too difficult to manage the papers.  The papers are not in the order we teach the curriculum.

# data[].attributes.body
Online textbook set-up. What will the enrollment of students look like? How user friendly is it on that side

# data[].attributes.body
A tried and true resource.  Higher level thinking.  Concise.

# data[].attributes.body
Will the pacing guide change to follow the pace of the newspapers?

# data[].attributes.body
Worried about only having online resources

# data[].attributes.body
Does every student get a newspaper every week?

# data[].attributes.body
We need access to textbooks at home. We don't have enough books to send home text books. Will there be digital versions

# data[].attributes.body
It's always exciting to get new material!

# data[].attributes.body
Concerned about online access only. There are "in the middle" schools that are not Title 1 nor able to have enormous technology infused from their school Foundation. How do we use them at school when we only have a few computer labs & one cart per grade?

# data[].attributes.body
Love the visuals that accompany this. I am worried about the size of the resource as it is so cumbersome (did I spell that right). It just isn't user friendly. Do we get all the editions at one time as the weeks don't match up.

I love that the resource gives the basic content knowledge required of each standard. I feel like I could assign one of the readings to a student who is absent or in ISS and be confident that they would come back on the same page as the rest of the class, even if they could not do the same work the rest did.

# data[].attributes.body
Will there be a online log-in for each student to the student textbook?

# data[].attributes.body
We really liked this resource. I found it to be engaging to students. I also found it to be a great resource for differentiation.

# data[].attributes.body
So excited about having a resource that is our content focused. Great springboard on which to build.

# data[].attributes.body
I like how it is personal and includes articles of high interest for students. (ex: Ice hotels, etc.) I did the activity on the Canadian Shield with the graphic organizer and it was a hit!

# data[].attributes.body
Our team thought the pictures in this text book were excellent. These are easy for us to use because it doesn't require technology.

# data[].attributes.body
We are concerned that we won't have the most benefit from these materials because we do not regularly have access to technology.
