How to create a shortcut on iPads and iPhones

1. On the iPad or iPhone, copy the link provided by your student's teacher or librarian.
2. Turn on Airplane Mode and ensure WiFi is disabled.
3. Open Safari (web browser), and paste the link into a new browser window and press "Go". The page will not load because you aren't connected to the internet. That's exactly what you want! 
4. Press the share icon along the bottom of the browser window.
5. Select "Add to Home Screen".
6. Name the shortcut and choose "Add". 
7. Now you can turn off Airplane Mode and reconnect to WiFi. The newly created icon on the iPad Home Screen should now take students directly to PebbleGo, logged in and ready to go. 
8. From within PebbleGo, your student will have easy access to Capstone Interactive as well.

How to search in Capstone Interactive

Visual Search

The most popular option for students browsing your school's Capstone Interactive eBook collection, Visual Search allows them to find books by selecting categories, each accompanied by helpful, colorful images to make finding the right book a snap.

Sort options

The Bookshelf can be sorted by Popular, Newest, and Title. These can be used with the filters in the Filter menu as well as Visual Search categories. Use the View All Books button to revert back to the default sort.

• Popular: sorts the Bookshelf starting with the Building’s most-read titles
• Newest: sorts the Bookshelf starting with the most recently purchased titles
• Title (default sort): sorts the Bookshelf A to Z by title

Default view for filters 

When your students accesses Capstone Interactive, the Filter menu will already be opened on the left sidebar.

Multi-select filtering

Multiple filters can be selected at once to create custom searches. For example, clicking Grade Range PreK-2 and Guided Reading Level A-D will refresh the bookshelf to show results from both of those ranges. Use the View All Books button to clear filters.

Language filtering 

Along with multi-selecting range filters, the language filter checkboxes can also be added as additional criteria for searches with the Filter menu, text searching, and Visual Search categories. Note: the language must be selected first when combining Visual Search with language options.

Text search layering

Enter search terms in the search box to search, and then select one or more filters from the menu to further refine your search. Note: the text search must be entered first when combining text and filters.
