This is the time that America pulls together.  Most schools under the current threat of coronavirus spread are opting to close and attempt remote learning. 

The Learning Counsel is at your service as a digital resource. We have a good bit of experience in the EdTech strategy arena, and we are anxious to help in any way we can. The transition to temporary remote learning for large segments of the school population will be an experiment, and we aren’t going to get it right the first time, every time. But that’s okay. We have smart people in education. And to a person, we are the most dedicated, passionate and caring people in the world. So, we can do this. And we’ll get through it.

In that light, we have put together a partial list of resources that can help you. We have experience with each of these organizations, and we wouldn’t hesitate to recommend them.  Meanwhile, from here until Fall 2020, Learning Counsel will devote time to creating more internet seminars, more media resources, more conference call sharing of all our administrator groups, and more.
