Also, are your videos embeddable?

Whenever you can I have a question:  Is the curriculum available in a Spanish version for dual immersion program use?  MT

There are several simulations and LABsent videos. I’m going to let Steph handle embeddable.

Thank you. For the simulations: Are students able to access directly through the LMS, or do they need to go through a portal?

Are there any special education materials/modified reading levels? I know you said they read everyday and that can deter sped students sometimes...

In the digital version of notebook, are relevant images included for each lessson and is the notebook sequence set or can the sequence in the digital version be modified?

Oh.  Ok.  I assumed it may be aligned to the text.

Is this program prescribing teaching in a certain way? How versatile is it to different teaching styles?

Are the units designed to build on each other or can you modify the order of suit your needs

You can modify the order.
It is very versatile and flexible, but it is also very thorough and spelled out for those who like that, are new, subs, etc

Yes, are several versions of an assessment (for example, A or B version), or assessments can be edited. Can give two different assessments per roster to differentiate.

Assign and take quizzes in Ed which are auto graded.  They mirror CAST item types.  
Is there an auto-randomizer for tests?
Yes
Can create assessments by standard?
Yes.  Can create by standard or content.
When creating teacher assessments, is there an image bank?
No. there is not a separate image bank, but some questions in the item bank have images.
How often is the Ed platform updated?
Ed is regularly updated as new resources and materials become available.

Can you also highlight the person for each company we can contact for questions?

Can you share that link on the chat?

How often are case studies and phenomenon updated? Are there multiple ones to choose from during each unit?

Is data exportable to excel, etc.?
Miguel, yes, data is exportable into a CSV file.

Do students log into a portal to access al of this?

Yes, we integrate with Powerschool

Can students be rostered in Google Classroom AND somewhere else? We are a multi-platform district.

We have autorostering with your district already. Yes, you can have students rostered in Powerschool and GC. We recommend hiding your powerschool class.

@Daniel Currently we use Savvas Easy Bridge to log in to the Realize platform for math and ELA. And it auto rosters nightly once teachers connect their classes. Assuming the same for science?

Does it work with powerschool?
Yes, we integrate with Powerschool

Is there a dual immersion version biology text(s) in Spanish?

Does Learnsmart with Smartbook send teacher reports, or does a teacher need to individually search individual student progress?  Or do reports only go to the student?

Can this be read aloud to students online?

Can the assessments be modified?

How often update?

So, for clarity, only student version is available in Spanish?

Are students rostered into the platform like your other platforms (elementary)?
