eTAP assists teachers in preparing their course of instruction for classroom presentation. eTAP is designed to give you quick access to all the learning resources you can use in the classroom including: Lesson Unit Plans with an outline of instructional objectives. Instruction provided in a simplified form. Teachers can use eTAP content for their own classroom instruction. They can print eTAP material to use as class handouts to supplement their class textbooks. Also, since they are online, you can recommend their use for homework to students and parents who need supplemental help. eTAP is also an excellent resource for special education, independent learning and distance learning. Links are provided that connect to other web sites with material on the same topic. Usually these Links complement the online Instructions; occasionally they comprise the Instruction itself. Often they provide interactive games and quizzes to fit each student's individual learning style. Discovery Video links are provided that are correlated to the subject material. Most students find videos to be a more exciting and engaging way to learn and are an effective way to help students with auditory or visual learning styles. Note: Access to Discovery videos must be purchased with a separate membership from United Streaming. The subscription cost for the online videos is about $1800 per high school. Many schools already have a subscription to United streaming. Practice Exercisesthat you can use as worksheet assignments for your students. A survey of eTAP students found that Practice Exercises were what they liked best. The students liked to confirm their understanding before they proceeded to a new topic. Problem Section with answers you can print out and use for student assessment. Tests which include the type of questions used on standardized exams. These tests can be used in the preparation of your own exams.
