A new series of podcasts about the GED® Tests is now available from the Resource Center. These short, two-to-three-minute audio files can be listened to from a computer or from a mobile device (such as an MP3 player, iPod, or many cell phones). Episodes clear up common myths about the GED Tests, give practical information for GED test-takers, and explain the benefits of earning a General Educational Development credential.  Consider linking to these recording on your program websites, or incorporating them into your orientation process.

So far, we've posted three podcasts.  In the next month or two, we will be releasing two more rounds of three episodes.  These podcasts were created by the Virginia Adult Learning Resource Center with funding from the Virginia Department of Education's Office of Adult Education and Literacy.
