Rapid Resources® Wins 2008 Awards of Excellence: Award from Technology & Learning Magazine Honors Best Education Products

Stuart, Fla. (PRWEB) November 14, 2008 -- The International Learning Corporation announced today that Technology & Learning magazine selected Rapid Resources® ( www.rapidresources.com ) as a winner of the 2008 Awards of Excellence, an awards program recognizing educational products that demonstrate effective and creative uses of technology. Rapid Resources was tested in classrooms and reviewed by teachers before it was selected as one of the best products available to schools and teachers.

Rapid Resources helps teachers create individualized learning plans from a database of 500 learning activities that are correlated to state standards. Teachers can easily generate quick assessments and lists of activities for mathematics, language arts, reading and science and at any grade level from Kindergarten to high school including specific prep for High School Exit Exams.

Rapid Resources recognizes that if a student fails to grasp an early skill, then it is harder for them to move up the learning ladder. For example, failing to understand how to invert fractions precludes learning how to multiply and divide fractions. Rapid Resources allows teachers to quickly find the skills a student is missing and then print out activities or homework exercises that will fill in the knowledge gaps.

Conversely, Rapid Resources accommodates accelerated learning. If the quick assessment shows a student understands a topic or if the teacher simply knows the student is ready to for more difficult material, he or she can choose to "go forward" and print out a list of advanced activities to challenge and motivate that child.

"At any one time a teacher might have students at, above or below grade-level and it is very difficult to come up with activities for each of those students," said Bill Tudor, the creator of Rapid Resources. "Rapid Resources is an inexpensive, online location where a teacher can be confident she will find well-designed activities that fit each individual in her classroom. And better yet, she does not have to go to five different sources to find those activities; she gets them in one single click."

The Awards of Excellence program ( www.techlearning.com/aoe ) sponsored by Technology & Learning magazine has reviewed and recognized learning products that effectively use technology for 27 years. Winning products are considered among the best in the industry and often go on to receive other accolades as exemplary learning products.

Teachers may sign up for a 30-day trial of Rapid Resources at www.rapidresources.com.
