Here are some Internet resources students can use to support the notes they take in class. Generally websites present material in text or video form, and the focus is on the procedure more than the concept. These sites are not meant as a substitute for being attentive and diligent in class, but can supplement student practice of processes.

- As an Athens Drive student, you have an account with Study Island, a great on-line resource for additional practice questions. Your username is the same sequence of numbers that you use for school e-mail, followed by @athens. For instance, is your student ID is 123456, your username would be 123456@athens. Your initial password is just that sequence of numbers (123456 for our example)
