Wide Open School






I was on a webinar on distance learning resources the other day with
Common Sense Media.  You may be aware of their rating of technology
applications as well as their digital citizenship programs.


They are the people behind WideOpen School (a disclaimer- one of their
sponsors is Zoom which we do not use in the district. Now all content will
be district approved).  Divided by grade band for both parents and educators,
they have curated a variety of resources.  Currently, there is no archive,
but that will be coming shortly.


I really liked the collection of a daily schedule and live events (field trips,
read aloud, art lessons- use the drop-down feature to search for
specific types of content).   I watched one of the Virtual field trips-
who knew the M&M plant runs 24 hours a day!
Here is an example from the P-5 (and here I am on the P  page)
