Corona: Schooling at Home: Resources

I've noticed a large surge in readers of this blog lately, presumably due to the large number of families now schooling their kids at home. I'm assuming people are looking for ideas, support, or something! So, New Parent Schooling at Home, this blog post is for you.

Next, let's think about resources.
You are beginning with som resoeurces from school. Online lectures or lessons followed by daily work to complete. (At least that is what I'm seeing.)

• A friend on Facebook just posted a link to this film Your Inner Fish, available HHMI: BioInteractive, a website for science teachers to share tons of media materials. SHARE THIS LINK! It's absolutely wonderful.
• PLEASE check out the main website called TheKidsShouldSeeThis. The site has THOUSANDS of videos of so many different subjects, from sciences to musics, to particles, to animation, to, well, you name it, with a special focus on STEAM—science, technology, engineering, art, and math.
• OpenStaxis a global collection of educational materials completely coordinated by volunteers and maintained by generous donations by philanthropists like Bill and Melinda Gates, Andrew W. Mellon, William and Flora Hewlett Foundation, and others under the auspices of Rice University in Houston. The entire collection is available completely free of charge. It can be downloaded in various digital forms and can also be remixed and edited.
• MIT also has Open CourseWare here.
• Joy Hakim is an American author/past school teacher who has written a ten-volume history of the United States, A History of US, and Freedom: A History of US (a trade book to accompany a 16-part PBS series), and Reading Science Stories, all published by Oxford University Press. Hakim is also the author of The Story of Science, three volumes co-published by Smithsonian Books and the National Science Teachers Association.
  Also, please check out this phenomenal accompanying website for Freedom: A History of US.
• We LOVED edhelper.com back in the day.
• Coursera and The Great Courses offer wonderful material in various formats.
• We also use the many online resources at our disposal from whitehouse.gov to the many, many excellent videos on youtube.

    

There's a decent start. Let me know what you think!

 Please send me specific questions,.

 otherwise I'm just guessing!.
