Learning Express

1. I had an account set up before this session. I like that it remembers which tests you were working on and brings those up. It is also nice that they break down the tests into smaller groups so that you don't have to wade through the whole list.

2. I like that they give you immediate feedback. Not only do you get your score but you can go through and see the ones that you got wrong or right. It is also good that they give you suggestions for more practice in the areas that you were having problems. Nice touch.

3. I chose Interviewing tips. It is quite complete. They tell you step by step everything that you would ever need to know about going to an interview. If you have never interviewed for a job before, this would be nice to become familiar with what could possibly be asked and how you should present yourself. I would feel more confident if I had this to help be prepare for the interview.

4. I took a look at "Basic Skillings for Homeschooling." This is a 304 page book on homeschooling. I had to clink on the link that would show the whole book. It is amazing that you could have this at your fingertips. I also took a look at Goof Proof Personal Finance. This was a 208 page book. I didn't count how many ebooks there is listed but this is a great resource. We have a program at our school called Learn and Serve. The students go out into the community to job shadow and go through interviews process and eventually do the job. This would be a wonderful source for them to use to prepare for their jobs. This is a great find.

  1. Hi, Central, it sounds as if this will be a valuable resource for you and your students! You have some good ideas about how it can be used. Learning Express promo material says there are more than 130 ebooks, so there's quite a variety. Thanks for digging into this one and have fun sharing it!
