Coronavirus: Why Teachers Digital Resources Are the Future

With mandatory isolation and school closures becoming the norm around the globe, businesses and educators alike are now having to rely on digital communication and interactive sharing platforms to conduct everyday activities. Millions of school children are now at home and educators are faced with the strenuous task of continuing to shape the minds of the youth while practicing social distancing.  At this point, many are realizing just how imperative having access to quality information is. Digital resources like class plans, homework, educational shows, and even a direct platform to talk to students, other educators, and the school district itself are not only a plus, but an absolute necessity.

In trying times like these, this is where community organization and togetherness reigns supreme. Every staff member needs to be on the same page and most importantly, they need to be able to share the documentation and news they have to students easily.

All public resources on MrOwl are free with the intent of helping others get inspiration and find the answers they need.

Connection.

Many times, educators feel alone even without quarantines. This comes from low budgets, lack of school of resources, and just the pressure from the everyday stress of being an educator. Other teachers know how this is and it gives educators a great opportunity to connect and find others who can provide positive and specific detailed information for the communities that are in need of it.

Many have started to create branches highlighting the things other teachers need during the Coronavirus Pandemic. This MrOwl branch emphasizes what communities in New Mexico can start to do to plan for further closers and how they can continue to connect with their students:
