Resources for out-of-the box learning

The CoronaVirus crisis has forced schools and non-school programs in Chicago and elsewhere to close for an indefinite period of time.

I'm seeing a tremendous outpouring of ideas posted on social media and have added a few sites to the Tutor/Mentor web library. While I encourage you to spend time getting to know what I host, I also encourage you to share what you're learning, and learn from others, by taking an active role on Twitter, Facebook and LinkedIN.

Below I show a few links to research.
In the Homework Help section are links to a wide range of learning resources.

In the learning blogs section are articles focused on on-line learning. A few links to look at are:

* Resources from Afterschool Alliance - click here
* What if my school suddenly closes - click here
* Storyline - Actors reading books - click here
* eLearning eNcyclopedia - click here
* Ideas for teaching on-line - click here
* Recommended Learning Resources on YouTube - click here
We're entering a time of great uncertainty.

Will this be the repeat of the 1930s or the 2008 recession? What will be the funding streams available to support non-school youth programs after they re-open again, in a few weeks (optimistically) or a few months? While this is an internal conversation between leaders, board members, volunteers and donors, it needs to be an on-line conversation, connecting people from many sectors and many places.

The questions I post in the images below will still be questions in a few months. You can find me in any of the social media spaces shown on this page. If you're aware of these conversations please share the link with me.
