Lesson
2: Accessing Windows
The following windows are subject specific and will not appear when using
all titles. The buttons allow access to different resources within the
Incredible Tutor™. To access any window, click once on the corresponding
button along the top of the current window. (The “Windows” pull-down
menu at the top of the screen will also allow access to these same windows.)
The
Lesson Window
The Lesson window displays a lesson covering the current topic and may
be accessed before the student answers a question, or afterward if they
answer the question incorrectly.
The
Example Windows
The Example window is currently only available for the Math titles. By
clicking on the Example button, a student can see a very similar problem
with different variables to see how to work that type of problem. The
correct answer and all incorrect answers will be clearly marked. The
student can continue to click on this button to see the problem worked
with different variables, seeing a virtually unlimited number of problems.
The
Resource Window
The Resource window is currently only available for Math and Social Studies
titles. The resources available are tables and charts with information
similar to what is currently allowed for use during state-standardized
testing.
The
Scoreboard Window
The Scoreboard window displays information in a fun, colorful, arcade
style. The student is awarded points and icons for reaching certain Targets.
A cumulative score covering the current assignment is generated at the
top right corner. Click on the OK button or press the
return key to close the window. Click on the Print button
to print out the window. (Teachers can disable the print option in the
Access Preferences.) Students can change the theme of the Scoreboard
by choosing Choose Scoreboard from the Goto menu.
The
Main Report and Session Report
These Windows will be discussed in the lessons “Main Report” and “Logging
Out/Session Report.”
