Verizon Thinkfinity

Verizon Foundation has partnered with nationally recognized leaders in educational disciplines including literacy, math, humanities and science to create Verizon Thinkfinity (http://thinkfinity.org).

The award-winning free digital experience brings to life educational resources, interactive games, lesson plans, news, and webinars to foster excellence in students, parents and teachers alike and was recently named a “Best In Tech” website by Scholastic Administrator.

Thinkfinity supports a vast number of initiatives and provides timely and in-depth lesson plans and student interactives throughout the school year. Take a look at the following links for an example of some of this month’s latest resources and initiatives -
