Indiana/Thinkfinity Partnership
The Indiana Department of Education is the Indiana Thinkfinity Education Partner. Through a grant from the Verizon Foundation, the Indiana Department of Education has been able to align the Thinkfinity resources to the Indiana academic standards and to provide training and awareness sessions for educators throughout the state of Indiana. These resources, along with many others, are presented on the Indiana Standards and Resources web site. Throughout 2009 thousands of Thinkfinity resources, aligned to state standards, will be added to the Indiana Standards and Resources web site.
