My biggest discovery is that these resources are underused. There were so many that I could use on a personal basis in helping my kids, all at different ages, with school work, getting ready for college, as a girl scout and boy scout leader; it was phenominal. as I use these resources more I would like to offer workshops to people who I know will also use them. I am currently gearing up for the summer with my kids and want them to retain as much knowledge as possible. For my son, who will be a junior, we will start with Learning Express to get him ready for taking the ACT. I also would like him to use this resource for narrowing down career choices to help him in making a better informed decision in which college would best fit his intended career. I know many families who could benefit from thse services.
My other children, jr high and elementary can use the World Book Encyclopedia for games and project ideas to keep them occupied as well as learn at the same time. I would like to direct my frequent computer users to those sights as well along with some of the non-education games they prefer.
As I get more and more comfortable with the role of head librarian I would love to hold on going education for the members of my community and show them all the wonderful resources at their fingertips.
You are so right, busymom! These resource are a wonder to keep kids learning! We hope you will show them to others, too. CONGRATULATIONS on completing this Challenge. We look forward to working with you at Institute.
