Gulf Stream School in Florida Uses YourTeacher.com's Math Instructional Programs as Primary Textbook

Elite private 'laptop' school eliminates use of traditional textbook in favor of YourTeacher.com's Algebra 1 instructional math program.

Gulf Stream, FL (PRWEB) April 26, 2007 -- The Gulf Stream School, an elite private school in Florida, has adopted YourTeacher.com's (www.YourTeacher.com) interactive Algebra 1 program to be used in place of a traditional textbook.

Founded in 1938, the Gulf Stream School is a private school in Gulf Stream, Florida. As a recognized leader in the 'Anytime, Anywhere, Learning' movement, the school is a leader in the effective use of laptop computers. Starting in 2001, the Gulf Stream School became a user of YourTeacher.com's math instruction and has since completely replaced the use of a traditional Algebra 1 textbook.

According to Bryan Cook, an Algebra 1 instructor at the Gulf Stream School who pioneered the adoption of YourTeacher.com, "We are using YourTeacher.com's Algebra 1 as our primary text. All of our students have laptops ....Using the laptops and YourTeacher.com has changed my role as a teacher. I have always resisted the lecture mode and this program has allowed me to become more of a guide and resource. I like being able to compare and contrast my presentation of topics with yours."

According to Charles Hermes, CEO of YourTeacher.com, "We are extremely excited to continue working with an elite private school such as the Gulf Stream School and to show how our math programs can be used instead of traditional textbooks. Although most of our customers continue to use our instruction to supplement existing textbooks, it is quite an honor to have such an elite school use our 'textbooks with a teacher inside' as primary course material."
