Remote Learning Resources.

Remote learning. Online learning. Distance learning. eLearning. Schooling at home. Lots of names are
popping up, all for life and education in the age of COVID-19.

As schools all over start ramping up and creating what their idea of remote learning looks like, lists of edtech resources are surfacing. Depending on how long all of this uncharted educational territory and social distancing lasts, I'll routinely pop up with some new finds. Another good resource is GTG's own archive of "curriculum" or "online resources." May you find something helpful here.
