What Instructors Are Saying About MyEducationLab

"The MyEducationLab video clips were the best asset for my students who have not had experiences in the classroom with students. Even for those with experiences in the classroom, the focused interviews and clips helped them better “see” and understand the concepts and theories presented in the text and class lectures. That is why I appreciated the MyEdLab assignments that relied on the text to reinforce the importance of reading(vs. providing a shortcut). The students and I truly benefited from these resources. Thank you!”
—Professor Emily Schell, San Diego State University

"MyEdLab makes me feel like I’m in teacher heaven”
—Loretta Chavez, Metropolitan University

"I have found MyEducationLab to be a wonderful resource to my classes. The videos provide the visual aspect needed for pre-service teachers to better understand how to teach a given concept. My students also appreciate the opportunity to practice their knowledge for the PRAXIS II exams. It provides for them the opportunity to be more aware of what the test will be like and not be so surprised when they take the real test.”
—Cherie Roberts, Bloomsburg University

"I am all about practical application; the videos integrated into the text are, without a doubt, the feature that saves time and allows students to see what they read! The artifacts are great!”
—Professor LeeAnn Spalding, University of Central Florida

"This would be invaluable for teaching future administrators how to critique lessons when observing teachers. Can I have access right now?”
—John Lee, Fordham University

"I love the in-text references and how it [MyEducationLab] illustrates the concepts covered in print and demonstrates best practices in the classroom”
—Michelina Manzi, University of Wisconsin Oshkosh

"This is exactly what I’ve been trying to create!”
—Cynthia Jean Benton, Ed Psych Dept. Chair, SUNY Cortland

"It saves me a GREAT deal of time to have these items available. I find that students learn the content in a much more concise manner and have had excellent feedback, especially from online students, stating that they have learned more from the content via the pre-made activities.”
— Dr. Adele F. Moriarty, University of West Alabama

"Yes, I believe that pre-made assignments and activities to integrate into my class would not only save time but give me ideas to use that I may not have considered or known to be available. I have used some before and will continue to keep them as a part of my course’s workload and in my syllabi.”
— Mary Brady, Wayne State

"Yes, if I have time to investigate the resources, I will use them.”

— Rebecca Lopanec, St. Louis Community College

"Absolutely. As teachers, we frequently re-invent the wheel in developing the same lessons that someone else has already put time in developing. It’s great to be able to see what is developed and make it work for my particular course and/or students. ”
—Chrissy Ogilvie, University of Central Florida

"[The Assignments, Activities, and Applications] epitomize what these types of websites are designed for . . . . It’s important that they are assignable, and they are.
