Training Tips
"I used to get frustrated when it would take people too long to return from a break. So I would get an online timer... At 1 min. prior to when everyone was due to return, I would show them a "wow factor" utility, web site, Microsoft Word shortcut that they couldn't live without. The next thing I knew, people were knocking folks over to make sure they got back in their seats on time."Join the discussion

About Professional Development
Our training goes beyond helping teachers navigate our site. Thinkfinity Professional Development emphasizes effective integration of our resources into the K-12 curriculum to enhance student learning. AFFILIATES
As a Professional Development Affiliate of the Partnership for 21st Century Skills, Verizon Thinkfinity is dedicated to supporting the integration of the 4 C's (critical thinking and problem solving; communication, collaboration; and creativity and innovation) into classroom environments.
The International Society for Technology in Education completed review of the Verizon Thinkfinity Integration Framework on June 12, 2009. ISTE determined that the program clearly supports implementation of the 2008 (refreshed) National Educational Technology Standards for Teachers (NETS-T) in a specific, carefully reviewed and documented manner and prepares participants to substantially meet the following standards: 1a and 2a.
