2. I have demonstrated using Learning Express Library with middle school students. I promote it as a risk-free way to practice taking tests and as a self tutorial. I like that the tests not only tell which answers are correct, but that they give an explanation of why the answer is correct or incorrect.
3. I chose to explore the resume writing course. This is very useful and also timely since I haven't updated my resume for 20 years!! I have gotten through a few pages of it, and will continue at a later date. I'm enjoying it so far and will keep you posted as I progress. OK, I worked a little more on creating a resume. I am excited about using this to update my resume. What a great tool for someone in search of a job.
4. I downloaded the book Reading in 15 Minutes a Day. I'm impressed that it had a fairly current copyright date (2008). It appears quite good. Once again, what a bargain for new and experienced teachers. I try to spread the word about Learning Express Library, but most people I know don't want to take the time to explore. I need to keep it at the front of my brain so I can mention it when teachers are asking for resources.
Thanks for your comments, M! It is good to realize that resume styles and other career related things have changed through the years. We are glad you are using Learning Express with your middle schoolers. I like your term "risk-free." I like the answer explanation, too, as it helps students learn.
