Setting up an account was so smooth. The directions are very easy to follow. The diagnostic tool after completing a test is so valuable. It gives direction to the student and saves alot of valuable study time. It is especially important that the feedback is immediate and the student can make decisions right away - no waiting!
I took some time to explore "Goof Proof" a business writing skills area. I choose it because I liked the name! It was very helpful. Once again, very easy to follow and there was evan a downloadable ebook format available.
The ebooks selection is excellent. Not only are there a wide variety of information books available but they are all free. Who can pass up free information for skills improvement??
With the advanced challenge, I would start the fourth grader with a guided tour and setting up an account. I would follow this by directing him/her to the elementary button and 4th grade. The reading diagnostic and reading practice would both be very helpful. Another resource to direct them to would be the ebook selection. Great resources!!
With the high school graduate, the job search and workplace skills would be excellent. The business writing, resume, work keys practice, and ebooks would all help the student to improve in necessary areas. Additional skill building could be found in the skill building section with the writing and grammar.
The high school student completing a report on careers might find the jobs and careers tab very helpful. The career guidance would contain a lot of valuable information. The Job and Work Place Skills tab would be another great section. The sections on career guidance and the ebooks would be great resources.
The is such a valuable resource that often gets overlooked. Most of the patrons we have want to use the books. I suggest the Learning Express Library; however, I do not always succeed in getting them to try it out. I just need to find a way to give that little nudge that gets them started. Once they have logged in, I know they would love the resource!!
Excellent post on Learning Express! It seems like once people see how easy Learning Express is to use, they are excited about it. Good luck,
