Verizon: Thinkfinity

A new online digital learning platform containing thousands of educational resources is now available through a $60,000 grant from the Verizon Foundation. Through Verizon Thinkfinity.org, Florida teachers can access free standards-based, grade-specific K-12 lesson plans, interactive educational games and activities, videos and other materials provided in partnership with some of the nation’s leading educational and literacy organizations.

The Department of Education has teamed up with the Florida Center for Instructional Technology, housed at the University of South Florida’s College of Education, to raise awareness of Verizon Thinkfinity.org and schedule online and in-person professional development opportunities throughout the state to help Florida teachers make the most of these free resources. Verizon Thinkfinity.org also offers program activities and ideas, online learning games and homework help for parents, students and afterschool programs.

For more information about Verizon Thinkfinity.org, including a schedule of professional development activities, visit www.thinkfinity.org
