Common Sense just created a powerful resource for teachers, students, and families called Wide Open School. It helps make learning from home an experience that inspires kids, supports teachers, relieves families, and restores community.
More than 25 organizations came together to support this effort and more are joining. Wide Open School is a free collection of the best online learning experiences for kids curated by the editors at Common Sense. There is so much good happening, and Common Sense is gathering great stuff and organizing it so teachers and families can easily find it and plan each day.
On the site they also address the importance of connecting all kids. For those yet to be connected, Wide Open School offers many resources that can be completed offline and on smartphones, as well as bilingual and English-language learner resources.
