Benefits of upgrading to an e-edition:
1. Student Familiarity: Using an e-edition is easy; the navigation process resembles that of many websites. Most students are familiar with these tools and prefer digital formats
2. Ecologically Friendly: With the ease of delivery of e-editions, there are no stacks of newspapers that may accumulate at schools and need to be recycled. The current generation of students is environmentally savvy and wants to support “green” programs.
3. Ease of Delivery: Geography, inclement weather, production difficulties, or transportation problems will not stop an e-edition from being delivered. Once the e-edition is posted every morning, all approved users will have instant access.
4. Safety: School districts, teachers and parents are concerned about Internet safety. The e-edition website is a child-safe zone. Many teachers use this to teach about responsible Internet navigating.
5. State Standards: The e-edition of the newspaper can help teachers meet state educational content standards by being used in conjunction with our curriculum guides.
6. Americans With Disabilities Act: The Americans With Disabilities Act requires that reasonable accommodations be made for individuals who need them. The ability to hear an article being read and the ability of a computer to zoom in on specific content may help meet those requirements for visually impaired students.
