Keep Calm...

While we’re hoping students remain in school as planned, we’re helping you prepare for remote learning with resources, lessons, and more for all Ohio PreK-12 schools to use. Your students can keep calm, carry on, and keep learning with INFOhio!

Educator Tools, powered by INFOhio, includes more than 70,000 teacher-approved lesson plans, best practices, articles, websites, and other instructional materials to support personalized learning, project-based learning, and the inquiry process. Many learning activities can be completed remotely and online.

Educator Tools also includes streaming educational videos from INFOhio's Digital Video Collection (DVC). DVC videos support all curriculum areas and Ohio's Learning Standards. Segmented and downloadable, most include teacher guides. Use the DVC videos in the classroom or at home.

Looking for more ideas? Willing to share your own? Join the Calamity Day Plans and Resources group in Open Space. Contribute to discussions in that group to share ideas about remote learning activities that all Ohio PreK-12 schools can use.

Looking for printables? World Book webquests are a good option available in INFOhio's Educator Tools. Webquests are print-and-do activities designed to help build students' foundational knowledge by taking them on self-directed expeditions through World Book Kids, World Book Student, and World Book Advanced. While completing the webquests, students learn by reading text, seeing images, and hearing sound (including text read aloud to them).

Along the way, they will be learning and practicing basic research skills. Teachers should print and distribute the webquests in advance, making sure to remove the answer key. Students can then complete the webquests in the classroom or remotely using World Book resources from INFOhio. To find the World Book webquests in Educator Tools, try a search for World Book webquests. See sample search results below!

While most students won't need to log in manually while at home, knowing their INFOhio username and password can make access easier from mobile devices. Consider printing your INFOhio username and password on these customizable labels and sticking them on papers or devices your students will be using at home.
