WHAT'S NEW AT ATOMIC LEARNING?

Lesson Accelerators

Do you need access to engaging lessons that get learners working with software applications in ways that enhance the classroom curriculum? We have the solution for you! 

Our Lesson Accelerators address your curriculum integration needs by incorporating our unique show-and-tell tutorial approach with media-rich lesson plans. Each Lesson Accelerator provides:

• Descriptive information about a project
• Step-by-step tutorial movies using a specific software application
• All the resources needed to recreate the example project
• A project activity guide

Teachers can have learners work though the steps using the example content supplied, or they can add their own content based on specific curricular needs. Check out the Lesson Accelerator page . http://www.atomiclearning.com/lp_list

Customized Atom Library ( CAL )

Now you can also personalize Atomic Learning for your school, district or university with the Atomic Learning Customized Atom Library (CAL). CAL provides you with the option to have Atomic Learning create and post movie tutorials on the software specifically used in your district.

Typically districts use CAL for district-specific topics and applications, such as logging on to the network, using administrative and grading packages, choosing printers and other district technology procedures. For more information contact your Atomic Learning Sales Representative . ht

SHARE YOUR SUCCESS STORIES

Do you have a story to tell about a successful Atomic Learning implementation in your district? 

• Why not share that story through a presentation at your local or regional technology conference.  It’s a great way to contribute to the collective pool of technology knowledge. We are more than willing to provide you with Powerpoint slides, product brochures and even give aways.  
• Or how about sharing your story with the rest of the Atomic Learning community?
