Teachers often overlook an excellent resource that is provided by textbook publishers. These sites can be very helpful for courses that rely heavily on a textbook. There are often many useful activities on these sites such as lesson plans, chapter reviews, additional exercises, tutorials, discussion groups, related news stories, related web sites and online activities.
Teachers should encourage their students to use these sites where applicable and should consider the quality of these resources when making textbook purchase decisions. Many sites have some components that can be accessed free of change even without purchasing the associated textbook.
Prentice Hall Publishers have many online resources to accompany their texts. Take a look at the wide selection at the Prentice Hall site.
