Amazing Educational Resources

Amazing Education Resources has created a huge list of resources for online learning. You will have to sift through all the options.

Breakout Edu Digital Content

BreakOut EDU is offering this collection of digital games for students to access from home.

Desmos

Desmos is another tool that has a great deal of content already created that can also be edited by teachers. It's a great solution for remote learning.

Ditch that Textbook

This resource of 70 ELearning Activities is available from Matt Miller. He is the author of Ditch that Textbook.

Edgenuity

KRMS is using Edgenuity so some students are familiar with this tool. Be sure that students know their usernames and passwords for easy access while in a remote learning environment.

IXL

IXL is a tool that offers personalized learning to students. Some Kearsarge teachers have premium accounts on IXL. You can begin a free 30 day trial if you would like to explore this resource.

Khan Academy

Many teachers and students use Khan Academy because of their content options.

KRMS has a site license for Newsela. There are so many great features with Newsela. First, students can adjust the article to their reading level. The article can be read to the student using a tool located in Newsela. Teachers can utilize quizzes and writing assignments that are built into the assignments and edit as they see fit.

NOTE: Newsela is offering free access to all of their premium tools. Go to their homepage and sign up for instant access.

PBS Kids

PBS Kids has a great video library with lots of student friendly content.

NOTE: Some of the material is only available with paid access, which we do not have as a district, so chose your content with that in mind. There are some decent free resources.

Project Gutenberg

Project Gutenberg is a library of over 60,000 free eBooks. Choose among free epub and Kindle eBooks, download them or read them online. You will find the world's great literature here, with focus on older works for which U.S. copyright has expired. Thousands of volunteers digitized and diligently proofread the eBooks, for enjoyment and education.

Quizizz

Quizizz is a lot like kahoot and Quizlet but comes with a huge directory of ready made content that can be edited by the teacher. There is a gamification feel to the tool that students love. Students don't need to create an account to play a game. Beware using their import Google Classroom feature. Last time I checked, it uploads ALL of your Google Classrooms and batch invites all students. This is not cool as it's better if you can control which classrooms to include. I would suggest that you just create a game and share the link with students to play anonymously. This would be for learning not for grading in this remote environment.

Ranger Rick

Ranger Rick is allowing free access to the public to specific content on their website.
