Thinkfinity



I haven't explored the site fully yet, but Verizon's Thinkfinity Literacy Network is very intriguing. One of the counselors at my school pointed it out to me after I mentioned my need for assessment tools.

Apparently, this is Verizon's "Hey-we're-okay-we-care-about-our-customer-really" project. Please, excuse my cynicism. But I've worked for big corporations and know how often their apparent sense of charity has to do with tax breaks. But, regardless of why they've put this resource together, it appears to be legit and chock-a-block full of information for educators, including online teaching courses and self-assessment tools.

It's worth a look!
