scrapper4life Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 I may be completely imagining this but I thought TT had an online option. I have a Chromebook, no CD drive. Please tell me there is a way I can use this :/ Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Jess4879 Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 TT doesn't have an online option and it's my understanding that their discs are not designed to work with external disc drives. Found this out when I was computer shopping. I think it was someone here who posted that info. There is apparently an updated version in the works, however: (from their FAQ's) Will Teaching Textbooksâ„¢ ever run on a tablet or on a computer without a CD Drive? A. Yes, a 3.0 version of our math products that will run on all major platforms, including mobile, is currently in development; we will be announcing a release date soon. TT will also provide owners of our existing products with attractive upgrade options. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mytwomonkeys Posted December 30, 2017 Share Posted December 30, 2017 We have an external disc drive and the cd’s work fine. I don’t have a chromebook (or laptop), but the drive is connected to my Azulle quantum byte. No issues. HTH 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateLeft Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 TT *does* have an online option now, but you need to email them to get the information. It's still in testing, so it's not on their website yet. My youngest has been using it this year, and it works beautifully on his Chromebook. Since we spend a significant portion of the year on our sailboat, I needed something that would work online. 3 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

UnlikelyHomeschoolingMama Posted January 7, 2018 Share Posted January 7, 2018 I asked more than two years ago when a streaming option would be available. They said in "a couple of months". I imagine they lost many more customers than just me by not being up to date with their technology. The last time I had a disc drive in a computer was 5 years ago.

When was this? If you haven't contacted them recently and you're still interested, you should email them again. I was a previous customer, so maybe that's why they extended the offer to test it. They recently started billing those of us using the online version, so I think they're close to releasing it publicly. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

mytwomonkeys Posted January 10, 2018 Share Posted January 10, 2018 I just emailed them today. They said the online version should be out soon. Right now it is by invite only. They were having issues with payments over the holidays but they are on the brink of fixing it. He said he would send me an invite when it was resolved. 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
SkateLeft Posted January 11, 2018 Share Posted January 11, 2018 (edited) How much is it a month It's a 10 month subscription. Right now, it's $39.90 for grades 3-5, $49.90 for grades 6-7, and $59.90 for pre-algebra through pre-calc. That's the price for the whole 10 month subscription, so it's way cheaper than the CDs. I'd already bought the CDs for Math 3-5, and algebra 1 through pre-calc, but we can't use them on our Chromebooks during the 5 months of the year we're on our boat, so an online only option is perfect.

homemommy83 Posted January 13, 2018 Share Posted January 13, 2018 I can see people whom have several children would want to re-use there programs, so may still prefer the 2.0 versions. I like that is is going to be cheaper for those not concerned with passing them down though. Will they allow you to move around levels at that price?

mytwomonkeys Posted January 16, 2018 Share Posted January 16, 2018 I just received my invite. So if anyone is interested I’d just contact them and ask. That’s all I did. $59 for the year is going to save me so much money! Thank you to the poster above that mentioned the web version! 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
mysticmomma Posted February 17, 2018 Share Posted February 17, 2018 Do you think the workbook would still be helpful to students using the web version? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
shinyhappypeople Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 Do you think the workbook would still be helpful to students using the web version? It comes with an e-book version of the workbook that you can highlight, but it really depends on the student whether or not the paper workbook would be useful. DD almost never used the workbook, so the online interface is plenty for her. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
J-rap Posted February 18, 2018 Share Posted February 18, 2018 On the other hand, you don't always need to CD or online part. A couple of my children used the textbook only and did fine with that. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
................... Posted February 19, 2018 Share Posted February 19, 2018 I’m so glad they finally developed an online option!!! No one here uses Cd drives anymore Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
