Lesson 2

I choose the GED Reading Practice and found it very easy to understand and answer questions.  I believe the tips on test taking would be very helpful to a student taking these types of test.  The best part of this was that I was able to introduce Learning Express and the available exams to the Guidance Counselor, the Test and Data Specialist, and the Elementary Principal.  All seemed thrilled with what was offered.

I examined the Job Search and Networking Course.  This was very informative and was easy to follow.  I found the sidebar which outlines the course and records what you have already done very useful.  The step-by-step tutorial would be invaluable to a job hunter.  I especially like the suggested web sites for job searches.

I tried two career choices in the career topic section, but neither showed any results ( Museum Curator and Historical Researcher, my daughter's chosen field).  I moved on to the The eBooks and found the Teacher Career Starter.  It was very informative and I could see where a career center would find this very useful.

There are many and varied resources in the Learning Express Library.  Not only would this be an invaluable tool in schools, but I can see it be used in public libraries, career centers, and in home schooling to name a few.
