Marvelous Maine Invitational Week 9 Learning Express

Using Learning Express I first chose the link for Middle School tests, then Social Studies Skills Improvement, then Geography and finally the test for Geography Review in 20 Minutes /Day. I also browsed through Grade 6  Reading Diagnostic 1: Informational Text. I found both to be fairly typical of other Grade 6 type standardized tests that I have seen, but maybe even a bit more challenging. I felt the questions in both subject areas would have been quite difficult for many of the 6th Graders that I teach. I was very impressed with the learning center for Job Search and Workplace Skills. I  explored the course Job Search resumes and Interviews and specifically a course titled Creating a Great Resume.   I was very impressed with how thorough and organized this was. It seemed  to be very helpful for anyone seeking this type of information and was organized to be very user friendly, with the process of writing a resume explained in very clear, concise steps. For the last exercise I searched Small Business Owner.  This yielded many results including 18 tests, 18 courses and 46 eBooks. The eBook I looked through was titled Goof-Proof Business Writing. It contained lessons and information in Spelling, Math, and Business Writing. Most of the book seemed to be aimed at helping prospective business owners sharpen their writing and communication skills in order to be a more professional and skilled communicator in various business situations. Overall I feel the Learning Express Library would be a very valuable resource for a variety of purposes.
