The Verizon Thinkfinity program is a non–profit consortium of eight of the nation’s premier education organizations and the Verizon Foundation, each dedicated to providing the highest quality, standards-based, online educational resources for teachers and students nationwide. Thinkfinity content partners are: the American Association for the Advancement of Science, National Council on Economic Education, National Council of Teachers of Mathematics, National Endowment for the Humanities, National Geographic Society, International Reading Association, National Council of Teachers of English, and John F. Kennedy Center for the Performing Arts. Thinkfinity's goal is to provide the best online educational resources and to help educators learn to use technology effectively within their instruction...Thinkfinity provides trainers and classroom teachers with both the training and resources necessary to successfully integrate online educational resources into the K–12 classroom.

and from E^2=Educating Educators:
"Thinkfinity delivers top-quality, standards-based, K-12 lesson plans, student materials, interactive tools ... and gives teachers, instructors and parents the tools they need to increase student performance today and create the lifelong learners of tomorrow."

Especially of interest is the free professional development provided to help educators make the most of the resources. The success of the program relies on a "train the trainer" model in which educators attend face-to-face sessions, and then facilitate workshops in their schools or districts.
