A Total Classroom Solution

When you use the Examview Assessment Suite, the ExamView Learning Series, and CPS in your classroom, you have the best interactive assessment solution available. Easily make a test with the Examview Testbuilder using unmatched content from the Examview Learning Series and deliver your tests with CPS...a TOTAL solution.

Now through March 31,2007, when you purchase an annual license for ExamView Suite and the Learning Series for your building, you receive a free CPS 32-pad IR system (a $1,995 value)!

The cost is $3.50 per student ($995 minimum), which includes annual licensing of the ExamView products. Plus, all schools participating in this offer can take advantage of a 10% discount on all purchases of additional eInstruction products!

There is a limit of one free system per building/campus. To receive your complimentary CPS, you must participate in a 90-minute interactive training session. If you decide not to renew your ExamView license (but we really think you'll love it!), you still get to keep your free CPS system!

Does your textbook provide ExamView content?

Do you have an old version of ExamView software? New to ExamView and wondering what it will do?
  • Create summative and formative assessments, including benchmark tests, quickly and easily.
  • Get thousands of high-quality questions for math, reading, science, and social studies--all fully compatible with CPS.
  • Access ExamView-formatted questions from over 40 publishers with more than 4,100 textbook titles.
  • Use customization, including two-column formatting, to match the look of state and national standardized tests.
  • Stop spending late nights grading tests. With CPS, you know immediately how your students are doing.
  • Get CPS results in the EXamView Test Manager for comprehensive reporting.
  • Post tests to ANGEL, Blackboard, and WebCT Vista online classroom management systems.
  • Assess in a variety of ways: CPS, paper and pencil, plain-paper scanning, over the school network, or on the Internet.
  • Address special needs using reduced answer choices or larger print.

The Principal's Corner

We've got an extra special treat for our principals this month...testimonials!

We know how it is. You send a teacher to a conference where they see CPS in action. They run to your office Monday morning talking at high speeds and telling you they have just seen the most incredible educational tool and just have to have it!

Or maybe it didn't happen that way for you. Maybe a teacher in your school was lucky enough to win a system at a conference and has put it to good use. Now other teachers in your building are scraping and clawing to find money in their budgets or in the school budget to get one of their own. Sound familiar?

Maybe you're wondering if this is just the latest educational craze or if this really could be just the thing you've been looking for to bring about changes in your building. Hear what these principals have to say about CPS in their own buildings...more info





You Know You Should, But Are You?

Visit our latest blog post to find out what you should be doing with your CPS databases but quite possibly are not!




Our students have changed radically.
Today’s students are no longer the people our educational system was designed to teach.
-- Marc Prensky




FROM THE DESK OF...Dustin Frank

It’s hard to believe that it’s almost spring break time for most schools. Now is the time of year to reap the benefits of using CPS on a daily basis. With State Assessments upon us, hopefully you have no surprises and your staff has prepared your students well. If you are looking for additional resources to better prepare for your local or state assessments, check out our ExamView Learning Series program. With eInstruction’s acquisition of FSCreations, the worlds largest content provider, you should begin to see much more integration and emphasis placed on these resources.

Don’t forget, spring break is an excellent time to take care of some of your spring cleaning. Cleaning projector filters is recommended no more than every 200 hours. Proper maintenance, like changing the oil in your car, can result in much longer life for your projector which will result in much greater value in your investment.

Have an excellent kick off to your spring and please don’t hesitate to contact us if we can be of any service.

Sincerely,

Dustin K. Frank
