Take Advantage Of These Teacher Deals During The COVID-19 Crisis

Every teacher loves a good freebie, especially when it is time-saving and ultra-useful! I have recently discovered several websites that we, as teachers, can sign up for, for free. They are offering perks such as free premium memberships, teaching/learning activities and downloads which I am sure all teachers will be grateful for.

Now more than ever, we are being asked to be creative with our teaching while our students learn online from their homes. We have been thrust into the digital learning world, and thankfully, we have resources to help us out.
