Enhances Faculty Teaching ® “I like my.BankStreet because I can have students take notes in class and upload them onto the course Web site, making them available for students with learning disabilities who may not be able to take their own notes. Even if students do not have disabilities, these notes are a helpful way of summarizing key points from class.” “I like my.BankStreet because I can video podcast a class and upload it if a student has to miss a class. This is particularly important for religious holidays that cause students to miss several class sessions.”
