We are excited to support your implementation of Touchstones in your virtual classroom! If you don’t see the answer to your question here, or if you need additional support, please reach out to us at schoolprograms@touchstones.org!
Your Online Classroom portal includes access to all the volumes you have purchased. Teacher Guides and Student Editions are only accessible in the Online Classroom and cannot be edited, downloaded, or printed. Digital Binders, which include student-facing lesson worksheets and discussion evaluation tools are downloadable.
After you have done the one-time initial setup and all students have a copy of their Digital Binder on their own device, you should prepare for your online class just as you would an in-person Touchstones class: read the text and the lesson in its entirety, set a goal for the discussion based on your previous discussions, and decide on several opening questions you may want to ask.
Your subscription includes access to the volume(s) you have purchased for 1 teacher and the number of students specified when placing the order. All digital subscriptions are active from date of purchase until the school semester or school year ends

Your students do not need their own accounts to access their Touchstones content. Before you begin your first Touchstones class, download the PDF Digital Binder for the volume you have purchased to your device. Email this to all of your students and have them save a copy to their personal device. This document includes all lesson worksheets and evaluation tools and is editable. Students should have this open during each Touchstones class to complete their individual and small group work and discussion evaluations.
Your students do not need their own accounts to access their Touchstones content. Students can access the Student Editions in the “For Students” section of the Online Classroom from the Touchstones homepage. See our Quick Start Guide on giving students access to texts for detailed instructions. You can also login to your Online Classroom account and open the Student Guide you have purchased then share your screen to display the text for students to follow along as you read aloud.
