Actively Learn Math Resources for Remote Learning Gimkit The ongoing global impact of COVID-19 is on everyone's minds, for good reason. Here in Washington, there's been a mix of reactions, ranging from confusion to panic to frustration, at the disruption of regular life. And we understand all of it. It's been interesting to observe things on a local level while also hearing from so many of you about how things are going around you. Over the past several days we've received emails from all over the world asking about support for educators who have been impacted by COVID 19. We haven't had a good answer so we patched together free trials of Gimkit Pro and expanded Kit limits here and there. So, for educators on Gimkit Basic impacted by COVID-19, we're doubling our Kit limit so you can create more Kits as you get started with Gimkit or find yourself using it more in a remote environment. No info needed.

Google Hangouts As more employees, educators, and students work remotely in response to the spread of COVID-19, we want to do our part to help them stay connected and productive with G Suite. For all G Suite customers, we will soon enable free access to our advanced video conferencing capabilities in Hangouts Meet, including: After July 1, Hangouts Meet functionality will revert to G Suite Basic, Business, or Education based on the customer’s edition. However, recorded meetings will stay in the respective owner’s Drive. As these premium features are off by default, G Suite administrators need to turn them on for their domain. Why is Google for Education offering this? How long will the Hangouts Meet features be available? How do I turn on Hangouts Meet? How do I configure Meet so that students can’t create their own meetings or join a meeting not scheduled by staff? If you use Classroom and have verified teachers, you can also enable these features for the Classroom Teacher Group.

Mangahigh MobyMax March 6, 2020 - MobyMax, the most widely adopted differentiated learning solution in the US., has announced that it will provide its award-winning educational software free to all schools and school districts forced to close to protect against COVID-19. The comprehensive software curriculum spans Math, ELA, Science, and Social Studies for students in grades K-8 and meets the needs of struggling students as well as those working on grade level and beyond. The announcement comes as some schools in New York have already closed and as Seattle schools and others also prepare for possible closure. “Most American school districts do not have plans in place to keep students learning if their physical structures need to be shuttered,” said MobyMax co-founder Glynn Willett. “The solution is to make online learning easily available to any school/district that needs it. Our software will be free to any affected school or school district that wants to keep teaching.” About MobyMax

Slido Today we are launching Slido for Education, a package of integrations and features tailored specifically to the needs of lecturers. The aim of Slido for Education is to help lecturers stay connected with their students by powering two-way interactions during their virtual or live classes. We planned to announce our new offering at SXSW EDU this week and we are very sorry that such a great event had to be canceled last minute due to COVID-19. Many schools are facing similar challenges now, being forced to cancel classes or move them online. We hope Slido for Education will help teachers maintain the connection with their students and deliver engaging lectures despite the challenging circumstances. This is an important milestone for us, as our very own story began in academia. Coming full circle: From university back to university Eight years ago, we started Slido with a simple idea – to help lecturers improve their classes by collecting instant feedback from their students.

Art - Home Learning This was the last photo I took of my students in the art room before our long separation from one another due to COVID-19. It was the day before the Chinese New Year and all of the students wore festive attire to celebrate. As we said goodbye to the students before the week-long holiday break, no one had any idea how different the new year ahead was going to be. Reception 1 learners showing off their stained-glass windows inspired by Frank Llyod Wright. – our last lesson before the school suspension. Since February 3rd, 2020 I have been facilitating Home Learning for the Visual Arts for over 760 Lower Primary students between the ages of 4 and 8 years old. Once it was announced that our school would be facilitating home learning, I decided to use things that I already have and already know. I use a public Instagram account not associate with my school to showcase student work as well as any art-related content I teach, make and/or see. Connect Everything!
