In response to school closures due to COVID-19, OSPI content experts have curated a selection of links to external organizations providing high-quality online educational materials - courses, lessons, videos, physical and outdoor activity suggestions, etc. Please note that in many cases, these resources are free to use online but are not openly licensed for wide scale reuse and adaptation.

These resources were carefully chosen for their alignment to Washington State Learning Standards (or a recognized equivalent) and/or direct experience with effective implementation with students. Particular attention has been given to identifying best practices and guidance in supporting students and providing suggestions for educator professional learning during this challenging time.
Notes:

Grade bands: (Pre K-2, 3-5, 6-8, 9-12) are suggestions only - you may find useful resources for your needs in any of the sections.

Educator: these resources are primarily directed to teachers, school staff, schools and districts

Family: these resources are geared toward parents, families, caregivers, and members of our community who normally do not teach/facilitate in a formal education setting. Everyone is welcome to use these resources.

Student: these resources support independent student learning

In several cases, a resource appears in multiple categories as it integrates multiple content areas.

Resources by Content Area

Connect to the OSPI Remote Learning Resource Suggestions document on the Washington OER Commons Hub for a doc, PDF, and sortable spreadsheet version of the list below.

General Guidance

Washington Office of Superintendent of Public Instruction (OSPI) - COVID-19 Guidance and Resources
As schools, students, families, and communities plan for and experience closures, OSPI is committed to providing ongoing guidance and resources for school districts, students, and families.

OSPI - State Learning Standards and Instructional Materials Selection and Adoption Guidance
Review state laws that outline basic education goals and require districts to have policies and procedures in place that guide their selection and adoption of instructional materials that meet state learning standards.

Washington Hub on OER Commons
Access standards-aligned openly licensed resources (free to use, adapt, and share) developed by OSPI programs, grantees, and WA districts. Find collections of resources that include guidance for online learning, parent resources, and suggestions for supporting our youngest learners, disabled students and special education students during school closures.

OSPI Approved Online Course Providers
OSPI maintains a list of approved 3rd party online course providers. Schools can contract with these for individual online courses and receive state apportionment. Providers must comply with assurances that include an appropriately certificated and endorsed teacher, alignment with Washington state learning standards, and compliance with state and federal regulations. During this time, many of these providers are offering services, training, or access to courses or curriculum free or at a discount.

Limited Time or Low-Cost Access Offers

Many companies are providing free, limited-time, or low-cost access to educational content and technology. The sites below show a comprehensive collection of such resources with a robust description of intended use and access period.

For districts wanting a smaller subset of offers for online learning experiences for kids, curated by the editors at Common Sense, see:

Vendors and resources found in the three directories above have not all been vetted by OSPI, nor should this be considered an endorsement. Educators should be mindful of digital resources that require teachers or students to create online accounts. Please check with district policies and consider HIPPA, FERPA, and COPPA laws concerning

Learning online is definitely a learning curve for many of our students and families. We can make it easier by sharing purposeful and engaging tasks our students look forward to working on independently and/or with their families.

There are hundreds of free educational websites for educators and families being shared across all social media sites right now, and I want to share my personal recommendations for five websites that represent high-quality, standards-aligned content that encourages student voice and student choice. I have used each of these websites with my students and have shared them with kindergarten through twelfth-grade teachers in professional development and am excited to share them with you.

CommonLit.org https://www.commonlit.org/

This literacy website is geared toward third through twelfth grades. Teachers may access rich fictional and informational text and share assignments via Google Classroom and/or by using a class code. Students can use the website to read a variety of texts, answer questions, pose questions, and analyze with online tools. And all of the text can be easily translated into a student's native language, which can be a valuable scaffold! Students can also use the website independently to read the text that interests them the most.

One of the most valuable resources on CommonLit is its text set collection. These text sets can be assigned in its entirety to help students continue to build knowledge and vocabulary, even if they're reading independently at home-other sources of text sets are Achieve the Core and the Kentucky Text Set Project . Another helpful use for CommonLit is their Related Books filter, which allows you to assign additional knowledge-building texts to support instruction for many popular full-length texts.

This informational text website is focused on sharing current and past news articles for second grade through twelfth grade. While many aspects of the website are free at all times, Newsela is currently giving teachers full access to all features of the website for FREE. Students may access the Lexile-leveled text via Google Classroom and/or by using a class code to read what interests them. Students can find text features to support their learning by sharing maps, captions, graphs, photographs, and/or diagrams and include them in their Google Document to show how they engaged in the text. Then students can explain how the text features helped them understand the text more. This can also be done in a virtual group. The text can be translated into a student's native language. They can also use Google Maps to locate where the event took place and to find out more about the location. National Geographic Kids ( https://kids.nationalgeographic.com/ ) is another website that can be paired with Newsela to support student learning.
IllustrativeMath.org https://www.illustrativemathematics.org/ Science Videos-Crash Course Kids (second grade through fifth grade) Crash Course (sixth grade through twelfth grade) https://www.youtube.com/user/crashcoursekids KhanAcademy.org https://www.khanacademy.org/ Bonus Website: TED Talks for kids https://www.ted.com/playlists/86/talks_to_watch_with_kids TED-Ed Lessons https://ed.ted.com/ https://www.youtube.com/user/crashcourse
This math website supports Kindergarten through twelfth grade. It is organized by the Common Core State Standard math clusters and includes the 8 Standards for Mathematical Practice. The website includes high-quality tasks and analysis of answers. Teachers can assign a choice of tasks via Google Classroom using the student view. Students can share their learning via FlipGrid.com and Seesaw (https://web.seesaw.me/), too. Additionally, if educators in grades 6-HS need full curricular materials to facilitate a switch to remote learning, Illustrative Mathematics offers free, full curricula for grades 6-8 , as well as Algebra I, Algebra II, and Geometry .

These YouTube Channels were created by the Green Brothers (also known as the Vlog Brothers). They explain historical events, engineering and science concepts, and so much more with vivid text features, explicit explanations, and reflective questions. The short videos can be paired with the National Science Teaching Association's Classroom Resources ( ) and Mystery Science ( https://ngss.nsta.org/Classroom-Resources.aspx ), the History Channel's resources ( https://www.history.com/ Google Classroom https://mysteryscience.com/). Teachers can assign the videos via .

This website was created and is moderated by Salman Khan and his team. It includes an expansive list of high-quality, standards-aligned lessons for kindergarten through twelfth grade. The lessons include videos, practice, and a formative assessment for math, science, reading, and more. Students are given immediate feedback and teachers are able to observe daily progress. Teachers may assign the lessons via Google Classroom or by using a class code.

Students can access dozens of TED Talks to learn about a variety of topics. TED-Ed includes lessons, graphic organizers, and reflective questions. Listening and reflecting on TED Talks can be great ways for students to practice writing and speaking (via recordings) in response to sources, using evidence from the text. Remember that videos, images, and recordings like TED Talks texts. The TED Talks can also be used as a launch for students creating their own TED Talk.

The educational community is an amazing group of people who work together to support the needs of all of our students no matter the circumstance. I am a firm believer in sharing and learning from each other. Please connect with me via Twitter @tikaee or by email epstet@nv.ccsd.net anytime. I look forward to working with you.

The best podcasts for kids should be educational and entertaining. We're all afraid of screen time, but it doesn't have to be so black and white. The right type of screen time can be educational and entertaining while leaving room for kids to actually use their brain (not to mention give you a break.) Enter: podcasts for kids. Not only are podcasts a form of screen time unlikely to cause overstimulation, they're also a great way for you and your kids to learn about something new together. Kids podcasts can keep the peace during long car rides, entertain kids while they're getting ready for school in the morning, or substitute for TV.

There are a ton of great podcasts for kids out there that both amuse and inform. Whether your kid is interested in where boogers come from or how dogs became domesticated, there's a podcast that can explain. Podcasts aren't only learning tools though, there are plenty of podcasts for kids that tell stories, too. Your kids can use their imaginations when listening to the podcaster weave a fairy tale or ghost story.

These are the best of the best podcasts for kids right now.

It's like Drunk History - but with children (who aren't drunk). The Story Pirates are a bunch of actors, comedians, and improvisers who act out original stories created by kids. Sometimes they hold together - and sometimes it devolves into silly madness. But, hey, if it worked for Axe Cop and Monster Trucks, why wouldn't it work for podcasts?

This is a musical-themed podcast that is also all about teaching kids about science. It's not the most mature thing in the world, but if your kids love silly songs and you want them to learn a thing or two, Noodle Loaf is worth its salt. Plus, at about 10-minutes apiece, the time commitment here is pretty low, which, is kind of perfect for the attention span of a pre-schooler. Check it out here.

Kids love myths, fairy tales, and folktales, but sometimes they can be a little problematic or violent. Circle Round selects folktales from around the world. They do really mean all around the world. The WBUR podcast strives to be inclusive. This parent-created podcast is meant for kids ages 4 to 10. It's released weekly and features some famous voices that you'll definitely recognize. Ed Asner, Tony Hale, and Richard Kind are just a few of the actors who have lent their voices to Circle Round in the past year.

What If World

There is no question too silly for this storytelling podcast hosted by Mr. Eric O'Keefe. What if sharks had legs? What if a tiny dragon lived in your closet? What if the Seattle Seahawks gave Marshawn Lynch the ball at the end of Super Bowl XLIX? These topics are all fair game, making for an incredibly entertaining listen for parents and kids alike. Regular listeners are even encouraged to call in with their own questions, which are crafted into original stories using fun voices, making for unrelenting ridiculousness.

This podcast is what it sounds like. But unlike the book club you or your partner might be involved with, this club doesn't make your kids read stuffy old classics. It's meant for kids who can comfortably read chapter books ranging from James and the Giant Peach to YA novels like Beautiful Creatures. Book Club for Kids does release episodes regularly, but your kids can choose which episodes appeal to them most. Maybe they don't want to read Beautiful Creatures, but they're really interested in reading Al Capone Does My Shirts. This will empower them to discuss the books they're reading and learn to enjoy reading outside of the classroom.
Book Club for Kids Podcast

Wow in the World

Don't be surprised if you find yourself getting schooled by NPR's first podcast for kids. Hosts Guy Raz and Mindy Thomas lead listeners through a conversation around the most incredible kid-friendly news stories of the week. Each episode kicks off with a series of questions about a new amazing scientific discovery or finding, which are answered through comedy and debate. For example, "How long would it take to get to the closest star outside of our solar system?" Congratulations, dads, you no longer need to know everything.
Wow in the World Podcast

But Why: A Podcast for Curious Kids

The phrase "But why?" is one a father becomes familiar with quickly. Host Jane Lindholm is here to help foster your kid's curiosity by tackling questions from the mundane, such as "Why do the leaves change color?" to the kind of complicated: "Who invented words?" The topics are crowd sourced from actual kids who can submit questions using the voice note feature on your phone. So if you ever find yourself in a pickle with a particular subject matter, feel free to delegate.
But Why: A Podcast for Curious Kids

Peace Out Podcast

This is for all the young yogis in the making. It is never too early to teach your kid to be more mindful, especially given how early the dependency on technology starts these days. Here to help is Peace Out, a short stories podcast for kids from the producers of Story Time that helps children calm down at the end of the day. Each episode takes young listeners through visualizations on basic feelings like jealousy, anxiety, and fear. The visualizations are paired with easy breathing exercises to help prepare everyone for a peaceful bedtime.

The Past and the Curious

Don't let the title fool you, this isn't a kids' podcast about supercars, and unfortunately, Vin Diesel is not the host. The actual show is pretty great though; featuring comedic actors performing little-known stories from history is a playful manner. Stay tuned for the quiz segment, where you and your little one can face-off for brownie points. Just to be clear, we wouldn't mind if a Vin Diesel road-tripping podcast became an actual thing.
The Past and the Curious Podcast

Dream Big Podcast

The adorable little Eva Karpman is a young Meredith Viera in the making. Joined by her mother, the 7-year-old chats up celebrities, award-winning experts, and trailblazers from all walks of life. Recent episodes include interview subjects like Canadian astronaut Chris Hadfield, Spartan Race founder Joe De Sena, and Hardcore History host Dan Carlin. Thanks to the sweet mother-daughter tag team, expect for you and your child to hear these thought leaders in a completely fresh light, and to be inspired in the process.

Saturday Morning Theatre

Grant Baciocco has spent 10 years working on The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd (see below). He might as well be the Jim Henson of kids podcasts thanks to his other series, Saturday Morning Theatre. Fashioned in the vein of old-time radio broadcasts, the series gives listeners short imaginative adventures featuring superhero tales, westerns, and mysteries. With new episodes appearing about one to three times a month, their catalog runs back to 2013. That's a lot of Saturdays covered.
Saturday Morning Theatre

Love putting your kids to bed, but not always enthused about reading bedtime stories? There's a kids podcast for that. Story Time is just under 20 minutes, where one original bedtime story is narrated by the soothing British tenor of host Rob Griffiths. The podcast updates about twice a week, but each story is made for the series. That means exclusive, baby! Plus, you probably don't have a British accent. That's not an invitation to try.

The Unexplainable Disappearance of Mars Patel

You grew up on The Goonies, The Explorers, and to lesser extent Stand By Me. And, now that Stranger Things has made these kid-centric adventure stories from the '80s cool again, it's time to throw on Blobfish Radio's new serialized mystery. TUDOMP (as it will one day be acronymed) centers around Mars Patel and his pals who are on a quest to find their missing friends. The series was voted one of the best of 2016, and there's still no word on season 2, but you can catch up with season 1. Here's an obvious spoiler, they definitely don't get stuck in the "upside down" - because nothing is scarier than copyright infringement.

All you need to know is that this is basically Radiolab for kids. In each episode, science is brought to life (figuratively, because nobody has that technology yet) through creative stories. Season 2 blasts off with geologist on how we silly humans actually tried to drill to the Earth's core. Turns out we can't get past the Earth's crust, no matter what Hollywood says.

Short & Curly

This unfortunately-named podcast teaches kids aged 7 to 12 about ethics, but not about the ethical implications of naming your show after slang for pubic hair. Once you're past that, the podcast talks to real school kids on difficult topics, such as"'Is it okay to fight a bully?" and silly topics as " Should pugs exist?" (Short answer: Yes, of course, they should!) But if your kids ask your opinion, it's your right as a father to say, "Who am I, Immanuel Kant?" (Google it!)

The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd

There are lots of evil cartoon geniuses that try to take over the world that kids can model themselves after: Dexter, Brain, the creepy kids in Little Einsteins. Add Dr. Floyd to the list. Kids will become obsessed learning how he plans to fend off his nemesis, Dr. Steve, while learning about history in the process. The series is officially wrapped for good, but there are nearly 10 years worth of fun as either giant downloads or you can relive old episodes with week-to-week updates. Just watch out for early-onset megalomania.
The Radio Adventures of Dr. Floyd

Spare the Rock Spoil the Child

It's the NPR Get ready for fresh tunes from All Songs Considered of kids' radio shows, complete with the soothing intro, interjected commentary, special requests, and familiar tunes (like the Schoolhouse Rock smash single "3 is the Magic Number"). They Might Be Giants, and pretty much no one you've ever heard of.
Spare the Rock Spoil the Child

The Thrilling Adventure Hour

Technically, this is a stage production starring comedy nerd idols like Paul F. Tompkins and Busy Phillips with guests ranging from Natalie Morales to Jon Hamm and Patton Oswalt. However, since the actors read and sing from scripts on a bare stage, backed by a six-person orchestra, you miss nothing listening to the podcast. It's actually meant to replicate an old-timey radio show, so the truly optimal listening experience involves your kid pressing their ear against a clunky wooden box while you frantically pace the room positioning a tin foil antenna.

[ Note: Contains some strong language you may find inappropriate for very young kids.]
The Thrilling Adventure Hour

OWTK's Kids Music Monthly

Host Jeff Bogle for the win. The writer and father of two has tackled everything from print journalism to photography, to the much more lucrative world of free podcasts. His monthly curated playlists make for hours and hours (or at least minutes upon minutes) of musical distraction. It's everything that Kidz Bop wishes it could be.
OWTK's Kids Music Monthly

Saturday Morning Cereal Bowl

Here's two full hours of kids music that's smart, funny, and more interesting to your trained music snob's ear than the latest Kidz Bop. So no, it doesn't suck, but yes, it's still goofy kids' music. Because you can convince yourself your kid will grow up a Radiohead fan, but your kid doesn't want to grow up at all. At the very least, it's worth checking out the names of the bands for a laugh, like Jelly of the Month Club and the Boogers.
Saturday Morning Cereal Bowl

Like a podcast version of Mr. Wizard, Brains On! teaches a different science lesson in every episode. Hosted by "kid scientists" with enough excitement and enthusiasm to keep all ages engaged and informed, topics range from the origins of language to the history of boogers and farts, from why we sneeze to why seas turtles live so damn long. It's aimed at kids, but let's face it, this sort of intel would smarten up some adults too.

The podcast home of the popular audiobook site that posts a new kids' story - classic fairy tales and original poems, myths, and adventures - every week(ish). Previously unknown names like lead storyteller Natasha and original characters Bertie the Frog Prince, Katie the Ordinary Witch, and Astropup will quickly become familiar favorites. Running times can meander beyond 20 minutes, so this podcast uniquely manages to promote both listening skills and sleep.

The Radio Adventures of Eleanor Amplified

Eleanor is like Nancy Drew, if Nancy had been a famous radio reporter. Eleanor embodies the best values of journalism while stopping the plots of evil villains in all sorts of dangerous places. Eleanor goes from space to the jungle to Congress. Not only does she empower young girls, but her adventures are also thrilling for the entire family. This podcast skews a little older for kids ages 8 to 12. There are three seasons of this WHYY podcast so far.
Eleanor Amplified Podcast

Stories Podcast

Another great source for stories is the Stories Podcast, which has both an apt and impossible-to-Google name. The fine folks at GoPlayPretend have amassed an impressive collection of G-rated tales. This year already, the team has covered , The Cat Who Caught the Moon , and the origin of the Chinese New Year . At this rate, they might take 2018 off just to recover.

The Alien Adventures of Finn Caspian: Science Fiction for Kids

You just may find yourself getting caught up in this serialized sci-fi story about the interplanetary adventures of Finn Caspian. There is a reason that this newcomer has jumped to the top of the Kids & Family charts on Apple. The tale begins with 8-year-old Finn, his friends and their pet robots aboard the Famous Marlowe 280 Interplanetary Exploratory Space Station searching for uncharted planets and helping aliens from far-off galaxies. Don't worry, Ridley Scott had nothing to do with this show; everything is completely PG.
The Alien Adventures of Finn Caspian Podcast

Sesame Street Podcast

Get a weekly dose of your kid's favorite monsters delivered directly to your phone. They teach all the same lessons of friendship, reading, patience, and caring as the classic episodes you know and love, only you can deploy them in the car, at the store, or anywhere else a distraction may be needed. Brought to you by the letter "M," for "Meltdown!"

Ear Snacks

Ever listen to the lyrics of pop songs these days and get scared for what your kid may be retaining? This radical podcast combines informational teaching with an infectious soundtrack, and is the perfect antidote. Award-winning musical duo Andrew & Polly, who have written for Wallykazam! and Sesame Studios, bring their talents and comedy to this podcast which tackles a variety of topics in a way that bridges any age gap.

Welcome to our supplemental Social Emotional Learning Activities page!

As you will see below, many of the supplemental SEL activities and lesson plans include characters from our game-based, social emotional learning interventions. And when you use the online programs with your students, these activities will reinforce the learning that occurs during game play.

These supplemental resources - lessons, activities, and worksheets - are in the following SELskill areas: Communication, Cooperation, Emotion Regulation, Empathy, Impulse Control, and Social Initiation.

These resources are age-appropriate for elementary and middle school students and are typically used in a classroom or a small group setting. And in most cases, if materials are required for the activity, they are items that you already have in your classroom or office.
Note: Please share this page on your school website so other educators may also benefit.

As the coronavirus continues to spread, the CDC is urging schools to prepare for closures. Some teachers are being asked to create online versions of their lesson plans. Many administrators are wondering how to equitably ensure continuity of learning when many students do not have access to the internet at home.

Actively Learn's features and content make it an ideal platform for remote learning. We make it easy to collaborate, support students as they read, and provide access when there's no internet at home. Here is a guide on using Actively Learn when students are not in the classroom.

Turn your paper resources into digital assignments

You probably have a plan for what you want students to read. You've lined up your assignments, including the questions you want students to answer. Instead of putting the planning and learning on pause when school is closed, why not use those same texts in a digital version where you can monitor student responses and provide feedback?

Actively Learn makes it possible to upload your own webpages, Google docs, or PDFs and transform them into interactive assignments for your students. Once you bring your assignments into our platform, you can embed questions and annotations, add assignments directions, and even post media links. When students answer questions and annotate in Actively Learn, you'll be able to provide feedback on their answers and hold them accountable for their work.

Actively Learn enables teachers to bring in their own resources and turn them into interactive digital assignments.

To save some time, you can also look through our Catalog for pre-created assignments. We cover core curricular topics for middle and high school ELA, social studies, and science with a variety of content types, including full-length novels, short stories, textbook sections, primary sources, high-interest articles, and videos.

Keep the discussion going with collaboration features

One of the biggest downsides of schools closing is students missing out on discussion and collaboration. Social interaction is a significant motivator for students, especially when they're digesting challenging text. It's also a way to deepen students' understanding of what they read and a way for them to ask one another questions if they get stuck.

Luckily, Actively Learn makes it possible for students to keep having rich text-based discussions, even while they're at home. You can ask students to share at least one annotation with their peers, and respond to at least one shared note. You could also ask a question in a note and have students respond to it in a thread. Teachers can leverage small group mode to make sharing notes even easier. Students can tag their peers or their teacher for a targeted message, which is a great option in case students get stuck and need help.

An example of a discussion thread in Actively Learn.

Teacher feedback is especially important when students are not in the classroom. It shows students that you're reading their work and giving them guidance on their thinking, which encourages them to put more effort into their assignments. It's easy to give feedback to students in Actively Learn as you grade. You can also allow students to revise their responses so they can put your guidance into action.

Support students with scaffolds and accessibility features

For students, one of the toughest parts of doing challenging work independently is not being able to get help when they need it. Here are a few ways that Actively Learn can provide that support, even if the teacher isn't in the room:

Assignments in the Catalog come with pre-created annotations to fill gaps in background knowledge, guiding questions to chunk the text and monitor comprehension as students read, and embedded media to drive engagement.

Text-to-speech: This is our most popular support feature, and is especially useful for EL students or students who struggle with disfluency or dyslexia. Students can hear an entire text read aloud or select passages that are especially difficult.

An embedded Learner's dictionary that provides a student-friendly definition of any word in the text

Translation into over 100 languages

Extra Help: We provide differentiated scaffolding for students who need additional support. Students you select as needing Extra Help will see a summary before reading, additional scaffolding notes in the text, one fewer answer choice in multiple choice questions, and hints and answer stems in short answer questions. Teachers can also create their own Extra Help notes for their students.

Shared annotations and tagging: Students can ask one another questions, or signal to their teacher that they need help.

Student accessibility features appear when students highlight text.

No internet? Actively Learn works on smartphones

Students can access Actively Learn on a smartphone.

Did you know that 95% of teenagers have access to a smartphone at home? That means they can use Actively Learn to read assignments for their core classes, even if they don't have Wi-Fi or a computer at home.

Students can answer questions, take notes, look up words, hear text read aloud, and translate. The deeper learning that you promote in your classroom can continue even when students are at home.

Set expectations and do a trial run

Transitioning to remote learning might include a few tweaks to your instruction. For example, if you typically read text aloud to students to support your struggling readers, you may encourage students to use the text-to-speech option instead. You could also record your voice reading the text and embed it as a media link in the teaching direction. Or if you like to have students discuss the text after reading, you may want to require students to use shared annotations.

Anytime you make these types of instructional changes, it's important to communicate expectations with your students, do a trial run on a homework assignment, and then hold them accountable. For example, you can track which students used text-to-speech in your assignment data. You can also see whether students participated in discussions and what notes they shared. During the trial run, you can iron out any confusion about your expectations and ensure that students know what to do in case schools close.

A number of schools around the world have temporarily closed because of the Coronavirus (COVID-19) pandemic, and will need to rely on remote technology to continue learning.

Luckily, there are lots of edtech tools out there to help with that, and with Book Creator online you can bring creativity to your homes (not just your classrooms!).

So, we're supporting you in numerous ways.

Firstly, we'd like to offer everyone the ability to collaborate together on books in real-time. This is a premium feature that is usually only available with a paid subscription, but we're offering 90 days free use of this tool, to help keep students and teachers connected.
Note: the 90 day collaboration trial offer ended on 18th August 2021, and is now back to the original 14 day trial.
Free collaboration upgrade

To claim your free collaboration upgrade, you'll need to:

1. Sign into your Book Creator account. If you don't have an account yet, create one and we'll give you 1 library and 40 books for free.

2. Start your collaboration trial on your account - you'll automatically get 90 days free.

How Book Creator can help with remote learning

NEW: We now have a dedicated Remote Learning hub.

See bookcreator.com./remote-learning

Read this Guidance for home learning - how teachers can help parents to get their children signed into Book Creator at home.
Read the guidance
Daily webinars - join Jon Smith for daily webinars on using Book Creator for home learning, and simple getting started with Book Creator sessions. These are informal - drop in and ask Jon anything.

Use the calendar below to find a time that suits you. Make sure to register using the link for each event.

If you're unable to make any of the dates above, you can view a recording of the Home Learning with Book Creator webinar from 26th March.

Book Creator can be used in any subject, with any grade level. So you should focus on assignments that allow the student to get creative and demonstrate their understanding. This could literally be anything you've been working on in class!

If you're looking for a range of lesson ideas - start with our Resources hub:

You may also want to look at example books that other students have made:

Focus on taking current projects that students have been working on and getting them to create a book - a digital version of what they may have done in an exercise book had they been in school! This could be a journal, a report, a story retell, poetry - you name it. Have students write but also record their voice, add video and images to their books and be as creative as possible.

Work collaboratively

Take advantage of your free real-time collaboration upgrade by setting tasks that involve students working on the same book at the same time. This could be a class book that you've been working on already, or if you're looking for ideas, why not compose a daily journal so students can keep tabs on what everyone else has been doing each day? Or you could take part in the latest #TWIMA ( The World is My Audience) project with Jon Smith. The current project is 'Traditions', and details can be found in this Google Doc.

Keep good communication

Student books will appear directly on your bookshelf, so there's no need for students to go through a complicated turn-in procedure. (Tip: you can decide whether or not students can see each other's books).

Communicate with your students by recording audio hotspots with feedback on their work to correct and guide them.

Boost motivation by sharing work

As kids work on their books from the comfort of their home, help them feel even more motivated and engaged by sharing their books beyond your library. You can publish individual books (or even a whole library) online with ease - showcase great work on your class blog or school website, on social media and beyond. Students will be even more engaged if they know the books they are creating will be seen by a wide audience. Everyone loves to be a published author!

Not only did piano lessons just become so convenient, but it's so affordable. My two kids (8 & 9 years old) LVOE practicing and working through the modules. Carly is personable and her videos provide clear instructions that my kids understand. She has taken the stress out of practicing by giving us some tips about how to structure practice time.

The music is fun, too! It's not just lessons, but she has tons of other content about composers, writing music, hymns. The website is easy to navigate. We absolutely love Carly and the expertise she bringss to our home! I'm so glad we can access such a wonderful instructor online!

My 5-year-old son woke up the morning after his first lesson, bright and bubbly, and immediately asking for another lesson from Ms. Carly! The parent support materials are awesome and helpful for me in deciding when he is ready for the next lesson. When I have questions, Carly is helpful anda vailable to answer my questions and give me specific suggestions. THe value of this course is incredible for the amount of materials included along with access to an experienced teacher.

THANK YOU for making this SO EASY to incorporate into our already busy and super-packed homeschooling days!

Do I need to know how to play the piano in order for my child to do this course?

NOPE! Because of the nature of the course, you will be able to learn concepts along with your child, and I've created lots of supportive materials to help you oversee your child's progress.

If you watch the videos with your child, you will learn all the new concepts along with him. At the end of each lesson's materials is a PARENT CHECKLIST to help you ensure your child is ready to progress to the next lesson.

I've also created a Parent Guide, with specific notes, practice suggestions and things to watch for that correspond with every lesson.

That said, if you WANT to learn to play the piano, I do offer the parents of my Busy Kids a special discount code for my adult-level course ( Busy Moms Do Piano), so that they can move at a quicker pace and dig deeper, if they wish.

Can I use this course for more than one child?

Absolutely! One membership can be utilized for your entire household.

If you'd like to set up individual logins with individual progress trackers for each child, there is a $5/month additional charge per account within the same household. If you'd like each student in your household to have an individual login, you can register for the discounted sibling account from your membership dashboard.

Does my child need a fancy piano for practicing?

Fancy pianos are fun to play on, but definitely not required in order to move through this course. Check out this blog post for budget-friendly piano recommendations suitable for your child's first piano.

What if my student has had previous piano lessons?

No problem! We can make sure your student finds a good starting point within my program. The members' dashboard includes a brief student assessment to help gauge which level is appropriate for your student. You can also e-mail me with specific questions regarding previous methods and experience so that we can tailor the program to meet your student's needs.

How old should my child be to enroll in this program?

Every child is unique and there's not a "one-size-fits-all" age for beginning lessons. I have students as young as 4 all the way through teenagers who are currently working their way through this program.

I have a handy resource guide about getting started with piano lessons that you can have delivered to your inbox HERE that will help you decide if your student is ready for piano lessons.

If you have a younger student at home, check out my Busy Preschoolers Do Music course!

Is there a contract or commitment?

Nope. You can upgrade or cancel your account anytime and for any reason. If you cancel before the end of the billing period, you'll retain access until that period is over.

How long will it take to complete the lessons in the membership program?

You can adjust the courses to fit the needs and abilities of your child. Many students breeze through the first lesson or 2 (or more) but then need additional time to work through later lessons as things get more detailed. You will guide your child to move through it at a pace that fits for him - there's no right or wrong pace to move from one lesson to the next.

I'm often adding new material, so there is plenty for your student to work through!

Will I have access to you as my piano teacher?

Yes! I am active on our members-only Facebook group on weekdays to give feedback and offer additional tips and value.

You may submit videos to me at any time for individual feedback.

I'm also very responsive to e-mail!

Do I have to purchase books?

Your subscription includes all the pages of music, theory and bonus materials - everything your child will need to complete the lessons in the course - in a downloadable format. The only additional material I might suggest (besides a piano, of course) would be a rhythm instrument, such as a tambourine, drum, triangle or wood block

GRAMMAR PRACTICE THAT CAN BE PRINTED

# data[].attributes.attachment_link.readable_text
Classroom Cereal is a series of free, PDF short stories that double as grammar exercises. Each story has five parts and each part has five grammatical mistakes for students to find as they read. Enjoy the story and find the errors. It's simple and nourishing, much like a certain grain-based breakfast food.

"I love absolutely everything about Classroom Cereal. I've been using it for several years, and everything just seems to get better and better. I love when my kids are so into the stories that they don't realize they are practicing grammar skills. They get so excited with the daily cliffhangers and beg for the next day's work." Stephnie H.

Broaddus ISD
Texas

"My students love Classroom Cereal days. There are other educators in my building that have observed my lessons with Classroom Cereal and now they want in too. I think it has been a great way to get my kiddos reading." Erika E.

Smithville Middle School

It's easy to feel anxious, overwhelmed and frustrated if you're asked to create elearning activities and teach remotely because of a school closure.

You might be asking ...

What are my students going to do?

How can they continue learning at a high level?

Can I maintain that teacher/student connection through elearning?

How can I keep up with the demands of elearning?

Some ideas and examples to follow can help. Having some plug-and-play activities to assign students can help, too -- even if you need to adjust them to fit your students' needs.

We've got you covered.

In this post, you'll find 100 elearning activities, templates and tutorials. They'll help you create elearning activities that lend themselves to powerful learning when students are away from school.

Some ideas to keep in mind as you roll out your eLearning activities:

Keep communication with students and parents at the forefront. Be ready for questions. Make your communication more thorough than you anticipate.

Simplicity is key. Activities that are too complicated can be hard to follow through without the proper support.

Make space for students' emotional needs, too. Their routine is disrupted. They don't get to see their teacher or their fellow students. Help them to make those connections while they're away.

Don't be too hard on yourself. If you've never taught with eLearning activities, it'll be a learning process. Do your best. Learn and improve.

Lean on others for support. Use social media and colleagues in your school/district to brainstorm ideas.

Here are over 100 remote learning activities, templates and tutorials you can use tomorrow:

This back-to-school season is unlike any other. With many schools in the midst of distance learning plans, there's a plethora of advice on how to navigate remote learning - it's information overload.

***ATTENTION***
If your school has been closed due to the COVID-19 outbreak, you and your peers are eligible to participate in the Quizalize Distance Learning Support program. To apply, fill out the form and we will be in touch to get you set up.
Quizalize is the perfect platform for assessing students outside of the physical classroom. You can create a digital classroom environment that mimics a real one through real-time assessments and resource assignments. Here is a list of 5 ways Quizalize can help you with your lesson planning for distance learning:

1. Assign quizzes and resources for a specific time frame

2. Set up differentiated follow up activities and track improvements data

3. Screen share live game results

4. Analyze and share student quiz data

5. Use Mastery Mode for rote learning

1. Assign quizzes and resources for a specific time frame

When you assign a quiz or a resource like a YouTube video, .pdf worksheet, or a web link, you can set the specific time frame in which students can access the assignment.

By doing so you can run a live session with all your students at once, or you can allow them to complete tasks on their own time by a specific deadline.

2. Set up differentiated follow up activities and track improvements data

Even though you can't physically be with your students at all times, that does not mean you can't personalize their learning. Activities with follow-up activities can help target weaknesses as well as challenge students that are strong, all through the automatic follow up feature.

Check out these two short tutorials on using our built-in differentiation feature and analyzing improvements data from multiple attempts:

Differentiating with Quizalize

Analyzing Student Improvement Data

3. Screen share live game results

Quizalize prides itself on data aggregation and the ability to virtually assign follow up activities. We also think it's important that our assessments are gamified to increase student engagement, and students don't need to be in a physical classroom to enjoy some healthy competition. If you've never set up a live game before, click here.

Typically teachers project their computer screen with the live game results onto the front of a classroom, but if you can live stream a lesson to your students while they are at home, then you can share your screen live directly to their devices.

4. Analyze and share student quiz data

Formative assessments fulfill a very important need in any classroom, physical or virtual. The exercise is about collecting information, and one screen in particular is tailor made to present to the class:

What they need help with

This screen shows which questions students struggled on, and which ones they did not. Many teachers go through each question and clarify misconceptions one at a time. This can either be done as a live screen share (much like in #3) or they can create a short video review and assign it (through Quizalize of course!) to be viewed on the student's own time.

5. Use Mastery Mode for rote learning

Mastery mode is the perfect tool for having students demonstrate that they've memorized terms and simple concepts, by forcing them to retake a quiz until they have answers all questions correctly.

This option is perfect for helping students memorize vocabulary, key terms, and simple concepts. In order to tackle more complex problems, students must first be able to make simple associations. Mastery Mode provides that opportunity.
