Portals
© 2011 Evan-Moor Educational Publishers
Like iTunes for education content, Portals is a system designed to manage content sold by education publisher Evan-Moor, from any computer that can run the Adobe Air plugin. Once you sign up, you download and install a small Adobe Air application on your Mac or Windows computer. Next, you can sample from five "apps." If you already own one of the apps, you can get updates. This sample-as-you go method is nice because you can see if the modules will work as advertised, before you spend $200 for the entire package. Because most Evan Moor content is supplementary to existing curricula, you can also determine if there is a good pedagogical match. The activities are designed to support existing language art and math skills for grades 1-8, with focused daily practice that can be managed from the cloud. Learn more at www.evan-moor.com/portals.
