McGraw-Hill has released four new products in its LearnSmart Advantage suite: SmartBook, Achieve, Prep and Practice. Each product has been designed to work together to create a cycle of student performance improvement.

Smartbook
Developed by McGraw-Hill, SmartBook is a mobile learning platform that will let you study anytime and anywhere. As part of a subscription, you'll have access to a number of mobile learning apps, a slick interface, and an adaptive learning feature that will tailor the content to your needs. Whether you're a student, a professor, or a parent, the SmartBook will be able to keep you on top of your game.
For starters, you'll have access to the ReadAnywhere mobile app, which will allow you to access SmartBook content on the go. For the best results, though, you'll need to download the SmartBook for PC or Mac. Alternatively, you can take your smartbook on the go using the SmartBook for iPad. Alternatively, if you're in the market for a new textbook, you can opt to buy SmartBook from McGraw-Hill's online store.
You'll also be able to test your knowledge with SmartBook's gamification system. These gamification tools will include a variety of quizzes, flashcards, and other learning tools. SmartBook will even recommend introductory sections to help you get a head start on your course. The aforementioned "SmartBook for iPad" will also feature a series of questions that will help you to test your knowledge of the book's material, including the textbook's core concepts and concepts related to the book's content. In addition to the "Lite version," students will also be able to sign up for "Connect" memberships, which will give them access to the SmartBook for PC or Mac, as well as a number of other programs and services.
California vs. Texas
Despite their title, there are major differences between the Texas and California version of McGraw Hill textbooks, according to a New York Times investigation. While the books are supposedly identical, differences in their content and ideology are what have led to accusations of racism.
The differences between textbooks are partly due to the different state standards. Texas and California have different laws and social studies standards. These differ from state to state, but the core national narrative will be edited to suit local needs.
The differences also relate to topics that are important to students. Texas and California textbooks are different on topics such as sexuality, gender, big business, and immigration. In California, for example, textbooks mention the LGBTQ community, while Texas textbooks don't.
Among the most controversial changes in Texas textbooks is the addition of controversial language about nonwhite cultural movements. During a 2010 debate, conservative members of the Texas Board of Education debated whether or not to include such language. Ultimately, they opted not to mention these movements.
The debate has become a political circus. The Texas panel was made up of a mix of parents, educators, politicians, and business representatives. They asked the publisher to clarify the Protestant Great Awakening, avoid referring to a "massacre," and to point out the number of clergies who signed the Declaration of Independence.
Texas textbooks are known for their emphasis on recent events. They don't mention the discrimination suffered by African-Americans during the 1950s. They also don't mention gender identity. The state also doesn't include an annotated Bill of Rights, as California does.
California and Texas textbooks are different on other topics as well. For instance, California textbooks cover housing discrimination against African-Americans. They also mention the AIDS crisis, while Texas textbooks don't. In addition, California textbooks cover the environmental legacy of the 19th-century American industry.
Employee data
Having worked for McGraw Hill for the better part of a decade, I've learned that their people are the true MVPs of the business. They're good at what they do and do it well, and are always willing to lend a hand to the rest of the company.
There's no denying that they are a large, global organization, but they have a knack for the best of the best, whether it's a new product, service, or brand. In fact, they have been a staple in education materials for more than a century. They've even managed to make some of their acquisitions stick around after the Apollo Global Management acquisition of 2013. Despite all of this, I have to admit that I was a bit surprised to find that they weren't more than a handful. The fact that they are so rare is a testament to their people.
I'm not a fan of the company's mediocre customer service, but they are a company that cares about their employees and has a great work/life balance. This is a great thing to have in a company like theirs, especially in today's competitive job market. A great employee can make or break a company.
They've got a number of prestigious awards to their name, but the best of the best is the Achievers' 50 Most Engaged Workplaces(r) awards. They were selected based on eight factors, including a comprehensive questionnaire and a series of meetings with senior management. Their awards are a testament to the company's commitment to providing quality work and to ensuring the highest levels of employee engagement. They are also one of the most generous employers when it comes to benefits and compensation.
