Technology offers schools and districts increased options for continuing learning during extended closures. Technology can be leveraged in different ways to meet local needs, including but not limited to

Communication (e-mail, phone, online conferencing, social media)

Teacher/student and student/student interaction (office hours, check-ins, peer collaboration)

Instruction (video/audio recordings of instruction, instructional materials, synchronous distance learning, asynchronous online courses)

Learning Materials and Content (digital content, online learning activities)

Districts and schools are encouraged to consult with local curriculum and educational technology experts in their school, district, or BOCES/RIC for information on technology options that are available and supported.

Important note: In compliance with state law and regulation, educational agencies must take measures to protect students' personally identifiable information from unauthorized access when considering utilizing digital (distance) learning platforms. Examples of such measures include minimizing the amount of data shared to only that necessary, deidentifying data to prevent the public disclosure of students personally identifiable information, and the use of encryption or an equivalent technical control that renders personally identifiable information unusable, unreadable or indecipherable to unauthorized persons when transmitted electronically. For more information, please refer to NYSED's Data Privacy and Security website.

Please use the links to the left to explore optional resources for digital content and digital tools.

Last updated on March 15, 2020 by Jamie Sears

I remember seeing tons of memes last weekend about how this was going to be a crazy week because of the time change, full moon and Friday the 13th. But no one saw this coming...Schools across the country are announcing closures for the next 2-6 weeks! Teachers are scrambling to put together e-learning activities or packets for at-home learning.

I went into my teacher Facebook groups and I candidly asked teachers what I could do to help them. I can't send toilet paper (we have a family of 7!), but I can pull together a collection of the best resources for at-home learning for your students.

Before I list these resources, I do want to give you a little food for thought...

Don't go too crazy with the at-home learning assignments. Some of the older students have just become babysitters to their younger siblings, cousins or neighbors. Some families have four kids all fighting to get their academics done using one device. Some parents are having to work overtime. Some parents are scared that they might lose their job.

So, send something home, but be flexible. Life is crazy right now and we don't always know what that looks like for our students' families.

So here are some resources that we have created or resources that we have found and love. All of the resources are either free or very inexpensive.

Two Weeks of Writing Lessons Via Video

Teachers in my Facebook group asked for writing lessons that they could send to their students.

I have you covered.

I recorded myself teaching two weeks of opinion writing lessons. In the recording, I share a mentor text, teach a quick lesson and give students a task to complete. At the end of two weeks, your students will have a completed opinion essay!

These videos (and the corresponding anchor charts) are FREE for you and your students to use.

I hope this helps to take off some of the pressure! I had a blast being the guest teacher for your students. Thank you for sharing them with me.

At-Home Learning Menus

I love having students do some fun activities around their house that naturally incorporate reading, writing and math!
These menus are FREE!
I created three menus for you to share with your students. During the week, they can choose to complete different activities from the menu.

Reading Response Menus

I think that it is really important to encourage students to read while they are out of school. The best way to do this is to allow them to read anything that they want.

I like to pair these reading menus with independent reading. Students get to choose any question that they want to respond to.

It's one activity that gets students reading AND writing! WIN!

If your students do not have access to books, they may be able to use Epic or Audible to listen to books. Or how about recording yourself doing a read aloud each day! They would love it!

This resource can be printed or sent digitally to students.

Yes, this is a paid resource. However, it is very inexpensive and it can be used all year.

Math Journals

We can certainly have students practice their math facts using websites like xTra Math, but I highly recommend including word problems, too.

I love this math journal because it gets students solving, drawing and writing about math. Plus, there are journal prompts for every standard that you teach!

This resource can be printed or sent digitally to students.

Again, this is a paid resource. However, the price is very low and you can use it over and over throughout the year.

Free Educational Websites

Many education companies are offering free subscriptions due to school closings. We have compiled a list of some helpful websites for you to share with your students.

Starting Wednesday, March 18, Great Minds will be sharing free recorded daily lessons and printables in grades K-12 for Eureka Math. If you use Eureka or Engage. New. York, this. is a great way to continue your lessons! https://greatminds.org

Scholastic has put together 20+ days of learning and activities for free. Each day includes a passage, projects, and videos! https://classroommagazines.scholastic.com/support/learnathome.html?promo_code=6294&eml=CM/smd/20200312//txtl/sm/ed

Send an email to each students' family by clicking "Send Invite" on your "Roster", so they access the website and directly link to your classroom. https://www.getepic.com/educators

Learning A-Z is giving free Raz-Kids and Headsprout subscriptions to K-6 teachers during the duration of the school year. In Raz-Kids you will find a digital library of leveled books and quizzes. Headsprout is an online reading program that adapts to your students' individual needs. https://www.learninga-z.com/site/lp2/covid19

National Geographic Kids always has interesting articles, games, and videos available for free. https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/?fbclid=IwAR1TsX2dnxOpWL5lVIuO8PHeIHikWGzBcC9NHipadi446sUF3aSJRWslHM0

BrainPOP is offering free and unlimited use to schools that have closed during the duration of their closure. https://educators.brainpop.com/2020/02/19/free-brainpop-access-for-schools-affected-by-the-corona-virus/?utm_source=organic&utm_medium=social&utm_campaign=coronavirus&utm_content=free-access

Consider sending your students on a virtual field trip! Use this link to access over 30 free virtual field trips. https://docs.google.com/document/u/0/d/1SvIdgTx9djKO6SjyvPDsoGlkgE3iExmi3qh2KRRku_w/mobilebasic

IXL is offering a free 90 day classroom trial. Students can access online learning activities for math, language arts, science, social studies, and Spanish. https://www.ixl.com/membership/teachers/trial/closure

If you are looking for other science and social studies resources, Studies Weekly is offering their resources for free as well. https://www.studiesweekly.com/?fbclid=IwAR2wmgdPf9VTW4NccMD-RR0wblbIgZVfX_LCmLqmJFsSyjYdwqs7qJKraRI

VocabularySpellingCity is offering free access to their site for the rest of the school year to affected schools. To take advantage of this offer, enter the code VSCFree90 when you register. https://www.spellingcity.com

Another opportunity for online reading is Newsela. 10 new texts are published every day and the content is provided at 5 reading levels. https://newsela.com/about/distance-learning/?fbclid=IwAR0knOqdmNngyG_6GCAuQzCz7CE8tajHKEqBU-6IDSVAq8SWyAIk-0e2kc

If you are interested in setting up specific times for students to go online and do a lesson with you, Zoom is currently free and a great opportunity for videoconferencing. https://zoom.us/docs/ent/school-verification.html?zcid=1231&_ga=2.228851412.995105639.1583699918-735451631.1546545079

If you had asked me one month ago if I thought I would have to be preparing for my students to spend 2 or more weeks at home learning their lessons instead of being in the classroom with me, I would have thought you were crazy. It just seems so surreal that something like this could happen.

Yet, here we are.

I was told three days ago that I would need to come up with a plan for 2 weeks of learning that my students would be able to do independently (read: without a teacher) and still further their education. Instantly, I was stressed out. This was uncharted territory and I was just unsure what to even do.

And I figured if *I* didn't know what to do, *YOU* probably didn't either. Below is a list of all of the resources that I came up with to use with my students (and a few more too ;) )

To begin with, I created this calendar that I thought would be useful to my students and their parents to keep all of the learning organized. It is a basic checklist of all the things that the kids need to do while they are away from school. This calendar includes a mix of paper and digital resources for my kids.

You can get an editable version of it here . Just plug in what works best for you students. I sent a hard copy of this with my students (since I knew we were going to be closing down) and a digital copy to their parents.

I created a digital Book Summary Log for my kids. Now, usually I am not a book log kinda gal. I just find them to be less useful for my own instruction. However, with the kids being away, I can't discuss the books with them. So I made a very simple, easy to use Book Log. You can get a copy for yourself here .

Wonderopolis.org is also a wonderful site that I am assigning my kids. There are articles on interesting and timely topics for the students to choose from. They will write a summary and make an inference on each article that they read.

There are also many resources that are free on Scholastic.com due to the school closures.

The kids will also be doing some SBAC practice on LumosLearning.com It is free and SO helpful to get the kids thinking about THE TEST (because, like it or not, the kids test almost immediately after we get back from the closure)

For writing, I am assigning two of my digital Paragraph of the Week files for the kids. Since you are here on my blog, you probably need writing resources too. So here is and I am sending to the kids (if you would like the entire digital file for year round use, you can get that .) Each of these weeks are formatted the same way that the kids use on paper. The only difference is that it is digital.

Each day for homework, my students complete a spiral math page. I wanted to keep that continuity for them, so I converted two weeks to digital. If you teach 3rd grade, you can find it here . Your students should be able to do all of the skills here, as we are nearing the end of the year anyway.

In math, my kids are using xtramath.org (fact practice that is always free and always super useful!) My kids also LOVE Prodigy and Zearn . Both are free for students to use.

For science, I assigned the kids several of the Mystery Science lessons. Mystery Science has put many of their lessons out for free because of these school closures. They are the same, exact lesson that you would get in the paid membership, which are amazing! Doug leads the kids through the science so they should have no problem learning the lessons and concepts.

Those are the things that I am assigning my students while they are away from school. A few others things (like our math book and Benchmark Advanced) are paper textbooks that I did not include in this list. My hope is that this list of things we are doing above sparks some ideas for you and makes this time a bit less stressful.
