Library Challenge # 2

Well, this has been an interesting week!  I'm not at school all the time, because I'm a retired teacher.  When I was there subbing, I had no troubles getting into places, but once I tried to do it from home, it didn't work.  So, I spent a few frustrating days trying to get into Learning Express and finally had to call our school librarian for help.  When I finally was able to get in, then the password wouldn't work--I think because I had been librarian and had ordered books from home.  I finally got that all figured out and set up an account and had fun doing a middle school test and a high school English test.  I could tell that the high school test was at a higher level.  It was challenging because I didn't know what all was being tested, but I soon found out when I checked my score!  I think these courses and tests could be used to help students who are having trouble in an area or are studing for a special test.  I think it could also be used to help adults who are getting a GED or studying for a specific career test.  I also went into the career unit and downloaded a book on resumes and cover letters.  I think this would be very helpful for students who are practicing looking for and applying for a job and also for adults who are looking for a job.  I also downloaded a grammar book and looked at that.  I can see that these books would be helpful so the person could work at his or her own pace.  I think that students who know about these could make very good use of them.
