https://wideopenschool.org/ ( Wide Open School) is a new resource provided by Common Sense Media. It looks to me to be a wonderful site for students, teachers , and parents ,to assist students in learning and growing and furthering their education.
There are a multitude of learning activities that will work for students. There is of course, Math, Science, and core school subjects with activity links- there are also off line activities, arts and crafts, digital activities,physical fitness, emotional well being,life skills and virtual field trips.
The neat thing is also a a daily planning page where a day of activities / lessons are laid out. They also provide planning sheets for teachers/ parents/ caregivers to plan their own depending on the student. The plans are based on grade levels so students just pick their grade levels and complete the activities.
The activities ( games, lessons, ect) are shareable with Google Classroom , so if you are a teacher you can send specific activities to your student. The plan lays out each day of the week and activities to go with them, The students are even given a screen break and ideas on what to do!
I think this site will be invaluable to teachers and parents working on virtual learning . The activities would also be doable in the school setting.
