Section for Parents and Kids:
Verizon Thinkfinity is the Verizon Foundation’s nationally recognized free digital program in support of education and literacy. Recognizing that teachers are pressured to teach to standards in an increasingly unfriendly economic environment, Verizon Thinkfinity creates teacher-friendly resources and lesson plans designed to meet the standards of each state. Thinkfinity and its educational partners produce nine discipline-specific Web sites. Each site includes games and activities for use both in and out of the classroom by students, teachers and parents alike. From Reading comp to math, volcanoes to film, each K-12 grade-specific resource is engaging, fun and readily available.
Part of Thinkfinity’s goal is to help educators inspire their students to successfully navigate and engage with the world while furthering their own development as teachers. There are adult literacy resources and reference materials for educators, parents and afterschool practitioners.
By providing free online tools, Verizon Thinkfinity is taking an active role in furthering achievement and helping kids and adults reach their goals within a powerful educational community. Engaging with Verizon Thinkfinity is a fantastic way to protect and support children and teens, whether they’re online, on the phone, or watching television.
