Thinkfinity.org is the Verizon Foundation's free, comprehensive digital learning platform that gives educators access to over 55,000 educational resources. The site includes panel-reviewed lesson plans, interactive tools, classroom activities and student materials for grades K - 12. The resources are provided in partnership with leading national educational and literacy organizations. These web sites offer resources across all grade levels and multiple curriculum areas: Arts, Economics, History, Humanities, Mathematics, Reading and Language Arts, Science and Geography.
PDE is a Thinkfinity rollout partner organization that provides the infrastructure to share the program throughout the state of Pennsylvania. PDE will work with Thinkfinity to organize Professional Development on effective internet integration and align Pennsylvania standards to the Thinkfinity resources. The Thinkfinity professional development plan is currently being finalized and will be shared with educators statewide in Spring 2008. In the interim, we recommend that educators take advantage of the introductions to Thinkfinity that are available at no charge from the national Thinkfinity program.

CLIU will coordinate the Thinkfinity program throughout Pennsylvania. State contacts for Thinkfinity are:
