Knowing that time is tight and fees can really add up, Sophia Learning just released its FREE ACT Test Prep program. It is fully online and covers all four content areas with practice tests and answer keys. What makes this "course" unique is that the video tutorials not only review subject matter but provide real down to earth test taking strategies. Best of all, Sophia chose subject matter experts who have experience teaching ACT Prep courses to design and build the test prep pathway.

Gamification Whether you teach English, science, math or anything else in between, there are myriad ways in which Gamestar can be combined with existing curriculum and used in the classroom: After reading a book in class, have your students recreate major scenes in the form of a video game. Ask students to design a game that teaches other students a specific scientific concept you've been studying. After studying ratios, ask students to create a game that contains a certain ratio of coins (for the player to collect) to enemies. Recreate famous myths from different cultures that have been studied in history class. Have students create a game that consists of a level for each stage in a butterfly's life cycle.
