Hi Everyone,
Some of you may already be familiar with Thinkfinity www.Thinkfinity.org - a free, educational website providing resources for literacy instruction and lifelong learning for everyone, funded by the Verizon Foundation. This website is loaded with resources for the educator, the student, the parent and for after school (helping children learn outside the classroom.)
On December 9, 2008, ProLiteracy, the world's largest organization of adult literacy and basic education programs posted a press release on their website http://www.proliteracy.org/ about the Thinkfinity Literacy Network (TLN). TLN is the adult and family literacy partner of Verizon's Thinkfinity.org website. Individual and organizational members of ProLiteracy who have used TLN say "the network has helped them to become better tutors and teachers and has made it possible for program directors to offer more professional development to staff and volunteers." Check out TLN at http://literacynetwork.verizon.org/TLN/ and read about their great teaching ideas and suggestions used with adult learners.
Take some time to read and learn about all of the valuable, top-quality educational resources at Thinkfinity and let me know how it has influenced your tutoring and teaching.
Happy reading!
Hazel

I have been on the thinkfinity website and really enjoyed it.

I was just checking out the Thinkfinity website and it is so great! Thanks for posting this resource. This website has lessons, articles, and activities for any topic that might interest my students. This is going to be very helpful in the future!
USAlearns.org is a good tip. We are using it at our school now, and it seems to help.
We are using it with three students.
Also, the San Diego Quick assessment test seemed to be helpful. It will help us with placing the students.
I was also looking for an idea ...thanks...
