Thinkfinity Fact Sheet
What is Thinkfinity?
Thinkfinity is the cornerstone of Verizon Foundation’s
Literacy, Education and Technology initiatives. This free,
comprehensive digital learning platform is built upon the
merger of two highly-acclaimed programs well-known to
educators – the program formerly known as Verizon MarcoPolo
and the Thinkfinity Literacy Network. Thinkfinity, which
means “endless possibilities for learning,” is designed to
improve learning in traditional settings and beyond the
classroom by providing high-caliber content and professional
development needed to improve student achievement – anytime,
anywhere, at no cost.
Educational Resources
Thinkfinity contains more than 55,000 authoritative
educational and literacy resources for teachers, students
and community programs including standards-based K-12 lesson
plans, student materials, interactive tools and web sites.
Thinkfinity also includes best-in-class evidence-based
literacy resources such as the Life Span Literacy Matrix
from the Verizon Literacy Network.
Professional Development
A comprehensive professional development program prepares
educators to incorporate Thinkfinity's rich resources into
their instructional settings for maximum impact. A rollout
network of select state and national education and literacy
organizations ensures the broadest possible reach for these
valuable resources and services.
Our Vision for the Future
Thinkfinity will continue to provide an ever-growing
collection of high-quality, non-commercial educational and
literacy resources and continue to evolve our robust
professional development program, with a focus on best
practices for student and teacher achievement. Verizon
Foundation will continue to utilize emerging technologies
and communication tools to provide universal access to
Thinkfinity's learning opportunities for all, regardless of
ability, gender, age, race, income or location. For more
