For many students and teachers, distance learning was required during the final two or three months of the school year. And, in a lot of cases, it means the learning is still happening for educators. This abrupt switch undoubtedly caused a great amount of stress on the teachers who have been expected to still fully provide legitimate learning opportunities for children despite hardly enough time to prepare and, often, without any prior experience. So, we've put together a running list for educators concerning remote learning resources to use while schools remain closed due to the coronavirus pandemic disrupting education. We updated this page regularly as these resources were released from reputable education providers and we hope that everybody found success in remote teaching and learning.


The most recent updates are posted at the top of this thread. Time stamps reflect when they were added to the post. Information about how to find the resources are in each section.


Note: We are not saying we want educators to attend each of these events or even click on all of the links. We encourage educators, administrators, and parents to keep up to date with the useful resources that are available and pursue them if they meet a specific need you have or fill a specific interest you have.
