Homework Help

I'm very excited about another technology product our library is taking advantage of. We've signed up for an online tutoring program called Homework Help. It is sponsored by Tutor.com, which is a nation-wide organization. They provide professionally trained tutors to help kids from elementary to high school. The student can log-in through their library, select a grade and subject, and be connected with a tutor in that field. They talk with the tutor through an online chat system and the tutor communicates how to solve the problems, but never gives the answer to the student. They work throught it together. It is a great system that I'm glad our library is taking part in.
