Updated with more free educational subscriptions!  School closures due to the spread of this virus is leaving parents, teachers, and students looking for options.   While many of us will be homeschooling our children, we will also be looking for resources.   Thankfully, many gracious companies have dropped the price to join their website, allowing students to use their resources for free.   

As a former teacher, I have been getting emails left and right from friends, sharing links to these websites.  There are so many educational resources available, from free math websites to free trial subscriptions to all day remote learning.   I’ve seen amazing lists on Google Spreadsheets,  lists of learning activities & websites on school websites and lists on friend’s Facebook Pages.   I compiled the links of my favorite websites, apps & courses from all of these resources to share today.   

I also made a list of Free Resources for Schools & Teachers Shifting Online Due to School Closings. 

You are also welcome to join the Facebook Group where we are sharing ideas to keep our kids busy & learning at home.
