Learning Doesn't Need to Stop if School is Closed - It Really Doesn't!

These resources are great but are important to also remember that engaging students outside of the classroom does not always have to be digital. There is something called a book, reading still matters. Paper is another great resource. Drawing can powerful way to engage students in a learning experience. I am a huge fan of sketchnotes and infographics. I've also been exploring some ideas to engage my students in just making observations without any technology.
We can’t ignore the power of digital resources to engage students in ideas and concepts. Here is our collection of recommended digital resources and digital learning frameworks to support learners outside of our classrooms.

Try to find one thing that can help your students and go from there. Last but not least, don't forget to have some fun and make sure your students have the opportunity to do something fun as part of their learning experiences.
