Lesson Messaging For Educators

Educators can enhance learning with Follett eBooks by creating notes that ask critical-thinking questions, integrate writing activities and supplement content. By sharing these with one or more students, the teacher and student can carry on a conversation within their Notebooks.

Important: You must be connected to the Internet and logged into Destiny Discover™ to access your Notebook.
