Lesson2: I started the ACT test prep for science (YIKES) I think this would be EXTREMELY helpful for college bound students. You can pass and on question and come back, it gives you correct answers and what your answers were when you have finished. I think it would be helpful for students to be able to study more of what may cause them trouble on the actual test. Moving around on the site is pretty easy. I am looking forward to studying more of the options for testing so that I can better guide our patrons and use these options as marketing tools for our library.
I explored the writing resume section. I liked the way it asked questions that were to be answered in a resume, gave samples, listed GREAT verbs to be used. If a person has the inclination to sit at a computer and read through this help, I think s/he could create a nice resume. I think the job search section would be a big help to many people in our area and am looking forward to directing folks in that direction.
I looked at the chemistry review (20 minutes a day) because I have a high school freshman who doesn't particularly care for science but I am his home study partner so I think we will be visiting this book again! It starts with a pretest (boy, I don't remember much) then leads you through so that you feel comfortable with the topic. I do believe I will be back to this book in "my center."
It appears there is a lot of good help available. The next time someone asks about word problem help for his/her student I will have them come in together so we can show off what our state library can offer!!
Great report, Rhonda! Thanks for trying these out. We are happy that you see benefit here for your patrons--and family. There are many resume helps out there, but I like this one because it tells you why you would include this information and use this style--and you get a finished product at the end. Thanks for your comments.
