Free online physics, chemistry, biology, earth science and math simulations [University of Colorado]![Free online physics, chemistry, biology, earth science and math simulations [University of Colorado] | Teaching during COVID-19 | Scoop.it](https://img.scoop.it/X_LycFZ5vlAiEiCJ4wt3vjl72eJkfbmt4t8yenImKBVvK0kTmF0xjctABnaLJIm9)
Founded in 2002 by Nobel Laureate Carl Wieman, the PhET Interactive Simulations project at the University of Colorado Boulder creates free interactive math and science simulations. PhET sims are based on extensive education research and engage students through an intuitive, game-like environment where students learn through exploration and discovery.
Kim Flintoff's insight:
A great source of free science and mathematics simulations from the University of Colorado. Many of these resources are useful to upper school studies

This quick move to emergency remote teaching has left educators scrambling to figure out how to use digital tools, online resources, and apps to continue their teaching at a distance. Unfortunately, across the board, educators have not been prepared to teach well with technology, let alone teach remotely with technology.

Education systems need to triage a social crisis, not just an academic one.
Kim Flintoff's insight:
"With school campuses closed indefinitely, education systems are grappling with how to make up for a growing abyss of lost learning hours and essential student services. But leaders shouldn’t forget that students are facing a less-talked-about but equally severe risk: losing access to the wide range of relationships that they’ve accrued in the course of a school year.
It verges on cliché to say that young people need relationships to thrive. But if schools react to COVID-19 by retrofitting academic calendars alone, social distancing threatens to crumble an array of social scaffolds and even chance encounters that help students get by and get ahead. That could yield immense losses to students’ reservoirs of social capital, particularly for those who need it most. Education systems need to embrace a two-fold mission: triaging an academic crisis and a social crisis."

Classrooms around the world are now using Inanimate Alice as an across-the-curriculum approach to teaching and learning. First meet Alice age 8, drawing a stickman and taking photos to send to her Dad.

Many parents are having to take on a variety of new roles, from playing IT help desk to becoming makeshift teaching assistants to supervising recess.
Kim Flintoff's insight:
Some guidelines that may help during these challenging days ahead.
Assuming some sort of "normal" household is likely to be the main issue - as this article references dealing with illnesses, special needs, space limitations, device sharing, ork demands, ongoing health and well-being conditions, financial changes, that may all be pre-existing will highlight that there is no one-size-fits-all. Generic, decontextualised advice isn't useful in these circumstances. The most challenged families prior to this current scenario will be even more pressured and stressed - it will be about survival for many.
