Sometimes a Math Video is All You Need

http://www.gcflearnfree.org/

This whole website is full of information, lessons and more. What I really like, though, are the videos. Open it up and look at one of them on fractions. That makes it so much easier for some people to understand.

Keyboarding Anyone?

If you are working with a learner who is learning the basics of computers you might want to give them some help with keyboarding. Send them to one of these sites or use a computer at the Learning Centre to work together.

The sites are a little bit child oriented, but they are free and seem easy to use. It is all about practice, so try one of these today.
