Holt Biology Online components


Recommended Posts

Just wondering if anyone can give me a little information about how the "interactive" aspects of the Holt Biology kit work.  I've been on their website and they really don't explain it very well.  It looks like I could buy the homeschool set and get a hardcover student book, with a year subscription to the online stuff which seems to include an interactive reader version of the student text; and then lots of teacher resources and other interactive things.  I registered to sample it but the sample is basically just a pdf of the book and you can't actually click on anything to see how anything works at all.  The interactive student text sample didn't do anything either. 

 

So, my questions are:  what really comes in the homeschool kit, does it come with an interactive student text that reads the text along with the student and if so is it a human sounding voice, how useful are the activities you can use online? 

 

Thanks so much for any info!

I'm bumping this because I was curious as well. I plan to use this in the fall for my ninth grader. I was planning to use just the text because I'm not sure what the "interactive" component offers. If it is truly worthwhile, I'll use the package.

I used Holt last year for earth science. The online component included lesson plans, directed reading worksheets, quizzes, tests, and lab information.   Both student pages and teacher pages with answers.   Lots of information to choose from.    Their videos left a bit to be desired but can find most anywhere on line so didn't matter.  

 

I would print off directed reading worksheets and James would fill out as he read the chapter.  Useful for tests because it helped him remember more than just from reading the book. 

 

Whoops - Sorry just noticed this is from last year.

 

Never mind if you already found the answers. :leaving:
