StudentEdge Partners with Monterey Institute for Technology and Education to Bring No-Cost Homework Help to Students
Multimedia presentations enhance already robust set of college planning tools to help students identify college that fits academic, social, and financial criteria
Lawrenceville, NJ (Vocus/PRWEB ) May 5, 2009 -- Peterson's StudentEdge, one of the fastest growing online college planning resources, now offers interactive curriculum-based homework help at no cost to students as a result of a new partnership with the Monterey Institute for Technology and Education (MITE). The academic content provided by MITE enhances the already robust set of college planning tools within StudentEdge with multimedia presentations designed for middle and high school students in subjects ranging from biology to U.S. history and beyond.
"We want every family in the country to explore StudentEdge because the free resources provide unbeatable value to students making plans for their future," said Stephen Clemente, president of Peterson's. "If you need to brush up on how and why George Washington was elected the first president of the United States, or wonder how you could better understand biological cell structure, check out the new homework help section within StudentEdge to see and hear the answers."
Gary Lopez, executive director of MITE points out that "during these tight economic times, the no-cost Web-based homework help frees up resources for other infrastructural needs in educational systems." He notes that "the homework help content is supported by a community of educators putting scholarship back in the hands of scholars."
