 * Design and Develop Digital-Age Learning Experiences and Assessments**

Every year, during freshman orientation to our media center, I promote a database called Learning Express Library for the purpose of allowing students to pursue online educational courses in various content areas, This lesson allows the students to orient themselves to tests and courses that will allow them to practice for their ACT tests, improve their computer skills, and practice taking career oriented tests. The orientation day for freshman is spent in the computer lab with me. Students may come to the library to access Learning Express Libary at any time after orientation. This lesson promotes student learning by encouraging students to explore various professions and their entry exams without the supervision of a teacher. This database can be accessed from home or school. Some of the courses listed provide remedial work. The assesssments the students take to practice for the SAT are completely confidential. Students are assessing their own progress.
