Lesson 2

Learning Express Library.
Have I ever used this resource? No
Do I feel that I will ever use this resource? I will be recommending it to many students, teachers and patrons.

After setting up an account, I chose to look at the high school tests. Then I chose Writing and Grammar Skill Improvement (an area I think most of our students are failing in!) Then, I took part of the writing practice test. It was hard to just take part - I wanted to finish it all, but time was not on my side. So, I answered the first five questions (correctly I might add!) and then scored my test and viewed the answers. It was a multiple choice test, so that part was easy. Forward thinking - I fear that when Common Core takes over and the Smarter Balance Tests are the norm, tests like these will seem outdated (possibly?). I like that it takes you right back to the test and shows what you answered and what the correct answer is. There is no wondering about what you answered for sure. I also like that there are instructions to read before taking the test. They were clear and straight forward.

After looking at the Job Search and Workplace skills and exploring different courses, I think this is such a great resource to not only high school students looking for employment, but anyone on the job hunt. It would certainly help out in many areas of the job hunt - and also after. I spent lots of time here looking and browsing!

Finally, I searched "Library" in the search box and chose the ebook "Search Smart and Get Ahead". There were several interesting chapters that I want to read!
