Welcome Welcome to Pearson EasyBridge Auto, a streamlined integration between your school s student information system and your Pearson learning platforms. Learning platforms are your online classes and course materials. You will receive your username and password from either your teacher or an administrator, along with a custom website you will need to keep handy to access all of your learning materials. You only need to remember one username and one password to access multiple Pearson learning platforms. If your teacher assigns you graded assignments or tests on a Pearson learning platform, you and your parents or guardians need to view those grades and test scores directly on the platforms. The grades do not yet appear in the gradebook your district is using.

Signing in to the etext for Schools App (ios and Android) The Pearson etext for Schools app is available for tablets both Android and ipad. This is an alternative to accessing your content through the learning platforms on your computer. To access your titles on your tablet, you will need to first download the app to your device. You should see your titles in the bookshelf of your tablet after logging in using the following instructions. 1. Open the etext app. 2. Click on the EasyBridge icon. 3. Type the name of your district in the search box and select it from the drop-down list. Click Go. 4. Sign in with your username and password. You will land on your etext bookshelf in the app. The titles that appear on your bookshelf are determined by which courses you have associated to classes in EasyBridge. Best Practice for Shared Devices: If you share a device with your classmates, it is best practice to always sign out of the mobile etext app when you have completed your work. This prevents others from accessing your classes and work. Best Practice for One to One Device Use: If you are the only person using your device, it is best practice to remain signed in to the mobile etext app and do not power down the device. This allows you to work offline when you are not connected to the internet. Once you reconnect to the internet, your work will be available online. Copyright 2015 Pearson Education, Inc.
