2020 Remote Learning Resources for Quarantine
|
SNL is always working to support school librarians in the Houston area and beyond. We know that you are all going above and beyond to support the teachers and students you would rather be supporting on campus each day. With that in mind, here are some distance learning resources you may not have found yet. Learning at home can take many forms, and kids with cabin fever need lots of new ideas to stay engaged.
You may have seen these links show up in real time on the SNL Facebook page. I hope that consolidating them here will help you find them easily. Please share this with your families and administrators as yet another indication how essential libraries are to school programs and student well-being. Inspiration
Couros, George. "Toward a New and Better Normal." George Couros, 1 Apr. 2020. "Change is an opportunity to do something amazing." I have continuously heard the term, "when we get back, we will have to understand that it will be a new normal." To me, I want something more than that. I am going to focus on creating a "new and better normal."

That's all for today.’” |
