Anyone living in Florida can go to this site through yoursmart phone, home computer or at the library. You do not need a library card.
You may want to start at the library and get help from staffon how to find what you need. It isn’tas friendly as google, but is much more authoritative. You can also listen to articles online or downloadarticles via a podcast. So, if you can’t read very well, the information isstill accessible to you. Articles canalso be translated to other languages if a person cannot read English, but canread their home language.
The My Library App helps you find your local library on themap. Through your phone you can access the free online resources. FEL is provided through federal funding via the State Library and Archives ofFlorida. The App is a littleclunky. It starts with the smaller Appformat, but once you get into the site it is the same screen as on acomputer. When you get to an article,you have to enlarge the screen, and look at the list on the right of the screen.This is where you click to listen to an article or translate it to anotherlanguage.
By listening, astudent can build literacy skills. Even if you are working with a student whocan’t read very well, you can help him practice critical thinking skills and learn information on health problems important to him or her.
As a homework assignment, ask the student to download thearticle to his IPod. He can then listen to it before the next lesson. The tutor should read the article too. When a tutor and student get back together,the two can discuss, ask questions and more. This process of critical questioning and thinking is an important skill topass the GED and to survive in general.
If you as a tutor are uncomfortable with technology, your student may be able to take the lead on this and help you!
