These exercises were very helpful to me in understanding what LearningExpress has to offer. I was very impressed, and would refer family and patrons to this site to find job and course information. The practice test could be very helpful to people here in our town. Also, with homeschooling, I think this would be a great resourse.
Discovery Exercise:
Create a blog post discussing the following questions and other observations you have about Learning Express Library. All resources can be accessed via this alphabetical list.
1. Set-up an account in LearningExpress and browse through the available exam.
I watched the tutorial a while ago when I first learned about Learing Express. Today I made and account and started taking the GED practice test.
2. Choose one and answer a few questions. Then click “Score my test” in the top toolbar. Ignore the warnings and continue to have your test scored, so that you can see how the diagnostic page looks. Then click “View Answers” at the bottom of the page. What did you think about this test experience?
I answered three questions on the Language Arts Reading Course 1. I thought the test was fun. I was interested in how the scoring was broken down- some for comprehension, some for analysis, and some for application.
3. Job searching and resume writing are among the self-paced courses in LearningExpress. Click on the “Job Search and Workplace Skills” learning center and add one of the courses to your center. Take a few minutes to explore the course and note your observations.
I looked at Career Course: Creating a Great Resume. If anyone I know needs to write a resume, I would have them try this out. It looks like a good step-by-step project.
4. Type a search term in the search box in the upper left of the home page for a skills improvement or career topic in which you are interested. Notice that results are sorted by tests, courses and eBooks (if all of those are available for your chosen topic). Please select an eBook and look through its pages.
I typed in librarian, and had 0 results. I typed in Teaching and there were test and courses and ebooks. I chose a book called Best Careers for Teachers and found I could download it immediately. This seems like a wonderful resourse for anyone who needs information quickly. I know that when I was in school, it would have taken days and days to track down a book I might want to read about a job I might want to pursue.

From the home page, bottom right, click the link for eBooks. The list will open in a new window. Browse the titles and take a look at one that interests you.
