Lesson 3- Learning Express Hub

I chose to go into a test for middle school students.  As one of our low areas is informational text, I chose to take a test on informational text.  I found the test to be great! The questions were great practice that I plan to implement in my daily classroom! The only feature that I did not like on the test was the skip this question for now option because I could see some of my students thinking it was an easy out to not have to answer the questions.  They would then soon realize that they will have to come back to the question before they can finish the test.  I like that they don't have to answer all questions at once but maybe not wording it that way would help (especially with middle schoolers).

I chose to explore the option for teaching.  I was impressed to see the on the job requirements and what it takes to be a teacher.  The outlook of what the career field looks like would also be helpful to know if their will be openings in the field once they have pursued their degree.  I also found it helpful that they included the links to the required tests to become a teacher.

I found an e-book on culinary arts that was a self-paced learning guide.  I think this would be a good introduction for someone to decide if this was a life course that they were truly interested in without having to go through paying for college courses to find that out.  I really liked that it offered the practice test and how to pursue a job in that field.
