New Everyday Life Lessons 

Everyday Life IconOur Everyday Life section continues to grow with the addition of three new lessons. Two of the new lessons focus on the food label – Food Labels and Label Practice. The U.S. Food and Drug Administration requires nutrition labeling for most foods with the exception of meat and poultry. The food label provides you with information regarding calories, fats, protein, carbohydrates, and more. With all that information, it can be difficult to find exactly what you are looking for. Since knowing what goes into our bodies is an important step in being in control of our health, it’s important for you to know where to locate that information.

We’ve also added a new Counting Pills lesson. In this lesson you will do more than just practice your counting skills. You’ll also need to locate the information necessary to solve a problem and use a grid to identify the answer -- two skills you'll use in a variety of situations. 

Visit Everyday Life at GCFLearnFree.org to sign in and explore all the lessons.

Let's Blog About It

GCFLearnFree.org has entered the “blogosphere.”  In response to changing trends in online learning, we have added a blog to our website. What can you expect to find on the blog? A little bit of everything. You will find podcasts and articles on a variety of topics such as basic computing, popular new sites, hot technology, and more. Additionally, we will create videos that address computing topics, and provide tips to help you solve some common problems. Users will be able to access the blog content from the GCFLearnFree.org website, as well as other means including Live Bookmarks, RSS feeds, and iTunes.

Can't find the topic that you're looking for in our lessons? Let us know and we just may be able to include the topic on our blog.
