Library challenge -- Lesson 8 LearningExpressLibrary

Discovery Exercise -- LearningExpressLibrary

1. The set up was painless and it was not difficult to find the resources

2. I chose a reading comprehension test, I like that it can be taken untimed as this gives you more time to process and learn. I had no idea this resource existed at all and it would have been really handy to have when I was in college to help with my English grammar and punctuation; I do still struggle with them. I thought the diagnostic page was good and the fact that you can go back and look at your answers and see where you went wrong a very good tool for improvement.

3. I chose a course on Job Search and Networking Skills. I found the information very thorough and relevant to today's job market and the skills our youth uses the most. If you are a paper pencil type of person you do not necessarily think of all the resources online like tweeter, not being a tweeterator I would not have thought of using that site for a job search.

4. I chose a book titled "Read Between the Lines" this title caught my attention. The book is about how to better answer DBQ's or Data-Based Questions. While I find the title and the information intriguing I have never been one to read eBooks I can see that this resource can be a great asset to any student or adult who has access to a computer. One thing I did not see was if you were able to check them out on like an eReader so you can take it with you.

  1. Hola, profa Lunde! You can save the Learning Express ebooks onto your computer, and from there you could transfer them to a device if it reads pdfs. We are glad for your discoveries here, and have received a lot of good feedback from teachers on this resource. Thanks for your comments.
