7. Challenges Getting students to accept an online text Learning how to use the text in class Convincing students to read the text Editing while teaching Fewer examples than a standard text Order of topics is not standard

8. Benefits Direct links to technology Links to outside information Answers to checkpoints and activities are “hidden” A chance to impact the current edition of the text now Exercises using WebWorks

9. Hood will continue to use the online text in 2009-2010 Tomorrow I’ll talk specifically about what it’s like to teach with these materials
