Some resources that could be useful!

#GoOpenVA (https://goopenva.org/)

● Open-source digital resources for education

● Hosted by VDOE and launched around the start of the pandemic
● Focused on collaboration - you can create groups to share resources with or
just search for open-license material
● Search by subject area, topic, and level
TeacherMade (https://teachermade.com/)

● App that converts document files to digital handouts (that’s right, you can
convert your paper stuff to digital worksheets kids can edit)
● There’s a paid version and a free version - free version has limitations, but is
still pretty darn functional
● Allows you to store, organize, and sort your created worksheets
JamBoard (https://jamboard.google.com/)

● Hosted by Google
● Uses slides as a place to write, collaborate, and jot down ideas
○ Doesn’t have a ton of controls, so better trust that class
