EasySets in EasyTech – Set Your Curriculum for a Full Year
Here it is: the start of the school year for most educators. We want to remind you of a wonderful feature many teachers appreciate in EasyTech, called EasySets.
About EasySets
EasySets are grade-level specific groups of EasyTech content that, with a click of a mouse, you can assign all at once. EasySets make it simple to ensure your students meet technology standards at the end of each grade range, and that content isn't duplicated year after year.
EasySets Pacing Calendars
These eight-month pacing calendars are designed to work with EasySets. The pacing calendars make it simple to ensure that the technology standards are met by the end of each grade range (K-2, 3-5, 6-8) and that much of the content is not duplicated year after year.
To assign EasySets, log in, then go to the Curriculum section of the EasyTech management system and select EasySets.
