Educational Companies Offering Free Subscriptions Due To School Closings
There are a lot of great suggestions here for parents to do with their kids during their time away from school. There are many to choose from, and you may not know which ones are worth doing. I have not used all of the websites listed with my class, but I have used many of them. In my humble opinion, here are some that I would recommend:
Best for younger kids: ABCmouse.
It has a lot of math, reading, and art activities for kids to do. There is a learning path and also a way for kids to play educational activities of their choice
Most Fun: Prodigy Math.
This is a game where students battle creatures by answering math questions. There are tasks to complete, and you can catch a number of creature to use as pets to help you battle. You can set the grade level so kids are answering similar questions than they would in school. (Grades 1-8)
Best Instructional Videos: Khan Academy.
There is a variety of grade levels and topics Khan Academy covers. I have used their instructional videos (Videos used to explain the methods used to solve problems) in class, and they have questions students can answer after they watch the videos if they are assigned.
Best Informational Videos: Brain Pop.
Brain Pop has a large variety of fun videos that covers almost every topic covered in an elementary curriculum.
Best On Line Books: Epic
This site is free for parents for 30 days. While it does not have every book, it does have a large selection of books for different age groups and genres.
Best Leveled Educational Practice Problems: Freckle
Students have several subjects and topics to choose from. After choosing a topic, students take a pretest and then are given problems based on their ability level.
Closest you can get to having an Escape Room Challenge in your house: Breakout.edu
There are many challenges already created for different ages ready to be printed out and placed around the house for students to work together and figure out. There is a kit to buy, but it is not necessary. Most challenges come with an answer sheet on which kids could write their answers. There is an online version as well.
Best Homemade Quiz Show: Kahoot
This is one of the most used review games for educators. You can choose from many quizzes already created, or make your own. Players need their own device such as a cell phone or computer to play, or you can play on teams.
Best site for Reading and answering questions: Newsela
You can have kids read articles on a variety of topics. You can choose different reading levels for the same article, and many will have questions to answer when you are finished.
I am curious if anyone else have experience with one of the other sites and would recommend them.
Other good learning apps:
DuoLingo - language learning (there's a lot of language options)
Grasshopper - coding app for Javascript
if religious - Scripture Typer
I created a free account with BrainPOP (I have a 7th grader) and it started out well but around 11AM, the site crashed and never responded the rest of the day.
We started out with Algebra and I liked the videos. My son took a quiz afterwards (google a d=r*t worksheet) and he got 18/18.
Also did the Khan Academy video for chemistry balancing equations. That was helpful as well....
For adults, if you are a member of the Alumni Association you have free access to the Michigan content on Coursera. The Python series is one of the most subscribed classes on the whole site and a great introduction to programming. The model systems class is also fantastic, as is the negotiation and leadership classes from Ross professors.
If your looking for math in k-8 go with Dreambox.com. By far the best online learning platform for students. It goes beyond rite learning and utilizes virtual manipulatives.
do your homework and ask a teacher. Most of these sites are farming for business and not always the best for all students.
For older kiddos, check out edx.org. MIT started it. Michigan is on there.
It's free (you only pay for a certificate) I take a couple of classes a year on the platform for CPEs. great stuff.
For more tech stuff check out coursera.org (they borrow a lot from edx though) and freecodecamp.org
Maybe I'll get lucky and Roblox will start giving away free coins or VIP (if they haven't already). My son is a fashionista who loves dressing his avatar in new outfits and always begs for me to buy him coins.
The importance of education is understood only by wise people. Of course, any academic paper has the structure and rules of writing. This is important for a student who wants to learn how to correctly do paper work. I confess, I sometimes lazy and buy papers in the pro essay writing service SuperiorPapers. Why not? I have the right to a short break.
Oh, I think that it is a great opportunity for kids to study. Especially when all schools are closed and. As for me, I have no enough free time to teach my kids.
Speaking of helpful education-related services, the ones that help do homework online were already mentioned but I just want to point out that when it comes to such services, you really need to put some effort into making a choice. Take your time and ask your friends who used some of those services for an opinion, read some reviews online, place a test order before you pay for a really important task.

Sometimes I don't have enough time to do this or that academic work, so I just turn to professionals who will complete this work in a few hours. By the way, I can share with you a cool service that is uk.customwritings.com. Be sure to keep in notes, these guys are doing the best academic work!
I think that such companies can still get to the top as a result. After all, in the same way, they invest in their subscribers. I think many will carry them out. for example, the company with reviews at https://www.sitejabber.com/reviews/papersowl.com PapersOwl is particularly memorable to me. Providing coverage for educational tools and services. on an ongoing basis provides its users with excellent service ratings and the most proven. information on that topic. Thus, it occupies a good position among competitors. So I think it's not that bad as a result.
