Avancemos text?

Question

Does this course through spannishdict follow the text Avancemos I and Avancemos II that is used in high school? I have kids taking both Spanish I and Spanish II using this text and need some help for them at home. I like the video features and flashcards that go along. The points are a motivator also.
If spanishdict does not follow the Avancemos textbooks, then does anyone know of any videos that go along with them other than classzone? thank you, Kathryn

I think that the top 5 sites for your students would be

1. StudySpanish - Get an introduction from the ground up of Spanish with test in between [free - with paid portions]
2. 123TeachMe - Pure vocabulary in an interesting slideshow format with translations [free]
3. Lingq - Listen to authentic Spanish from all over the world, with the text [free] (my advice when using this, is listen to the audio twice to try to understand as much as you can before reading the text)
4. AlbaLearning - Listen to various stories read by Alba of Spain. Edgar Allen Poe etc. Many of the stories contain the both the English version and the Spanish version. (A tip could be to read the English version, then read the Spanish version understanding the story already, and copy down the new words learned)
5. Quizlet - Make flashcards, play fun memory games
