Lesson 10 - Wrap Up

Basic, Advanced & Common Core Correlations Discovery Exercise
1. What was your biggest discovery?

There has been so much that I have learned, but I do have to say the information in Chilton’s has had the most direct impact on my life.  My husband and I started plans for changing the tires and brakes in our vehicles shortly after the year began.  My husband does much of this work himself, but as he was underneath my truck, he soon found he may have some difficulties.  The rear-end has some sort of cylinder brake system that he has never seen.  He said he would be to see what he could find a tutorial or other information on the internet.  I knew about Chilton’s, but it didn’t occur to me that it could help us out in this situation.  When we did the Chilton’s lesson, I found the step-by-step directions for changing these brakes.  I was so excited that I had solved this problem in my household; I must have sent my husband at least a half a dozen text messages telling him what I’ve learned.  And he can access these directions from underneath the truck on his smartphone!

Thank you for the opportunity.  It was been such a positive and informative experience.  I have enjoyed this challenge!

2. How will you promote or use the resources with your patrons, colleagues or students?

In working directly with librarians and teachers, I share these resources every chance I get.  They are the best thing since sliced bread for educators.  They aren’t on top of what is already happening in schools, but great resources to support what is being done.  Great resources to meeting standards!
