Content Area Literacy CD-ROM

Basic instructions for installing and using the CD-ROM are available in the Appendix A (pp. 297-302) of Content Area Literacy: An Integrated Approach 8th Edition.

The CD-ROM is a duel platform product that requires a PC with 64 MB RAM or Power Macintosh^TM with 120 MHz. The CD consists of PDF files as well as audio and video clips. The PDF files are the various readings that supplement each chapter in the book. Your computer will need Adobe Acrobat Reader^TM 3.0 or 4.0, QuickTime^TM 4.0, and speakers to access all the contents of the CD.

If you have Adobe Acrobat Reader^TM but not QuickTime^TM you should still be able to access the readings, but you will not be able to view the video clips. If you don't have Adobe Acrobat Reader^TM, you can install it directly from the CD by clicking on "Install Reader" and following the directions.

To install QuickTime^TM :

Open the Content Area Literacy CD-ROM and double click on the folder "Download QuickTime^TM "

Double click on your Web browser (Explorer or Netscape).

Double click on "QuickTime^TM   Download". This will automatically open your browser to the "Get QuickTime^TM " page.

Type in the requested information. Only your e-mail address is required. (Click on the boxes for Apple eNews or QuickTime^TM News only if you want to receive e-mail updates on products and promotions.)

Select your operating system (Macintosh or Windows).

Select your language (usually English US).

Then click on "Download QuickTime^TM ".

On the file download screen select "Save file to disk". Select "OK". (Save to Desktop as file name "QuickTime^TM Installer" and as type ".zipDocument".)

QuickTime^TM will automatically be installed on your computer.

If you are unable to make the CD-ROM work on your computer, you can email the authors on this Web site. While we do not offer technical support, we will review email and post solutions that we believe will be generally useful.
