Holly IN Posted January 26, 2013 Share Posted January 26, 2013 Hello My ds is an auditory learner and found out Miller Levine is better if I get all the components. I need to know what edition I need and what items to get. I am going to purchase through Amazon if possible. I was going to go with Campbells Cand C. (Sorry do not know if this is a baby campbell or daddy campbell) but found out it is not good with auditory learners like Miller Levine is. I appreciate help on this. Btw: Ds finished BJU Life Science. He wants to dive into Biology but NOT with BJU. He hated it!! Thanks! Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

melmichigan Posted January 27, 2013 Share Posted January 27, 2013 If you are looking at a auditory learner you might want to consider getting the 2010 edition from the publisher with online access. Then you have the ability to have the text read to you, and you have the online component as well. That is what we have done. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Holly IN Posted January 27, 2013 Author Share Posted January 27, 2013 Ok I can do that. Do I need to buy the Teacher Ed book too? or just the text with 6 yr student pack? Holly Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mom22ns Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 I'm bumped this thread for you, but go here. Follow Handmaiden's directions in post 16. Follow them to the letter and you'll have an awesome year! You buy the student book, and get online access to the Student book, TM, videos, tutorials, a digital brief path, tests, test answers, student lab manual - not the teacher's lab manual which was an issue at times, quizes and more.

Holly IN Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 Thanks! In another thread, somebody was saying about putting zip code as 00000 not your own....Not sure what that was about.

Parrothead Posted January 28, 2013 Share Posted January 28, 2013 Here it is. Thanks! In another thread, somebody was saying about putting zip code as 00000 not your own....Not sure what that was about. This is for the oasis signup. The account for: I selected homeschooler. Holly I'm trying to do the same thing today. It appears to me as if Pearson/Oasis has changed the format of the form in the past couple of years. Some of the fields in Handmaiden's instructions no longer exist but there are new fields. such as how one will use Oasis. It wants to know know if we will place and track orders, Inquire only ane eUsage. I don't know which option to pick. And there is a dropdown menu with school type options which includes a homeschool option. ETA: I opted for "inquire only" it seemed safest. I put in my real zip code and used homeschooler for the school type option. I then agreed to everything and am now waiting for processing.

Holly IN Posted January 28, 2013 Author Share Posted January 28, 2013 I was confused about the options. I picked place and track orders. If I screwed up I will have to email them.

They said to change it to whatever pin number you want within 10 or less characters. 3% discount is availabe till 30 days. So now I just need to make sure I can still get online stuff when ordering the student book and access pack. crossing fingers! I am out of town this morning so I won't be able to do anything till tomorow. Any tricks I need to know before I do anything?? Will Handmaiden's instruction still apply with these changes??

Holly FWIW, when I was getting physics materials, it was a two step process. I was able to get access to Oasis with one homeschool affidavit. But that didn't give me clearance to purchase teacher materials. I had to do a second affidavit through the PearsonSchool site. (Actually, since I was getting an AP level book, which is published through the college department of Pearson, it was even more complicated than that. But Miller Levine is a high school text, so I think it will be easier.) I ended up buying the Teacher materials on a computer DVD just so that my access to them was unquestionable. But it also seemed that as a homeschool instructor, I should have been able to get the same material as a download through the teacher aids available on the college site. (Not sure if this is an option with Miller Levine bio.) I will say that I've been super pleased with the Mastering Physics program. Not only is it a great tool for my kids to get immediate feedback on the problems they are doing, but I can track their progress and set up schedules. So persevere, because there is some pretty nifty teacher material at the end of this particular rainbow. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Parrothead Posted January 29, 2013 Share Posted January 29, 2013 I had to get the computer out to access the sentence diagrammer for dd. So I went ahead and tried it. I purchased it using handmaiden's instructions and used special offers A. I also used my almost maxed out credit card so if there was a charge it wouldn't go through. I bought the teacher pack. It seemed to go well without any problems. The only thing is I don't know where to go to access the teacher pack. What exactly did I get for free? Is this a physical package? I was under the impression it was digital. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

We did this in 2010-2011. It was a lifesaver for me because I could not be very involved in homeschooling that year. The website was wonderful. I also went on youtube and found many relevant experiments for my daughter to watch online. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom22ns Posted February 1, 2013 Share Posted February 1, 2013 The only thing you might consider is a TM for the lab manual. There were labs that couldn't be completed without it. (They said thing like look up the value in the table you teacher procides) If you are using another source for labs, that obviously isn't an issue :) Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mom22ns Posted February 6, 2013 Share Posted February 6, 2013 I think you have to get it with the book to get the online access free. I think it is reasonable that you have to buy from them for them to give you the online access. It is also best to avoid Pearson's phone support. I've never known a homeschooler that came away from their phone support happy. Email is the only way to deal with Pearson. It must be a completely different support department and the two never communicate because they give opposite answers. :glare: Sorry it didn't work for you Parrothead.
