  • A goal of the AccessText Network is to provide college students access to resources on how to most effectively use alternative (electronic) textbooks and technology in the classroom as well as the study environment. Students are encouraged to join the AccessText mailing list to receive future announcements on student resources. The student section of our site is scheduled to launch summer 2009. The AccessText website will contain resources for students such as: How do I receive textbooks in alternative (electronic) formats? How do I use alternative (electronic) textbooks? What technology is needed to access electronic textbooks? What is the best electronic textbook format for me? Where can I get access to reading technology?

  • These easy-to-use guides were created especially for teachers/caregivers and parents to provide hands-on ways to embed social emotional skill building activities into everyday routines. Each book nook is comprised of ideas and activities designed around popular children’s books such as Big Al, Hands are Not for Hitting, On Monday When it Rained and My Many Colored Days. Examples of suggested activities include using rhymes to talk about being friends, making emotion masks to help children identify and talk about different feelings, playing games around what to do with hands instead of hitting and fun music and movement activities to express emotions.
