THREAD: READ AND SHARE/RT ONWARD, PLEASE

I know not everyone is a fan of #screentime [feh] for their #kids, but in the face of #CoronaVirus the #KidsMedia world is stepping up.

@bigbadboo Studio is removing the paywall for its #VOD platform @OznozKids. If you're not familiar with it, now's the time to become so, especially if your home speaks more than one language. #Oznoz has 200+ hours of #video content for #children, in 10 languages.

Podcast @wowintheworld is getting activities & resources to #teachers to send home as needed. Their #wowsheet designed by educators can be used with any #Wow episode (tinkercast.com/wowsheet). They're also offering free teacher memberships via @FirstBook (fbmarketplace.org/wow-in-the-wor…)

Circletimefun.com is opening up to communities in need. Follow @circletime for more info.

@BrainPOP is free to affected #schools.

@AgeofLearning tweets: To help kids whose #schools are closed due to #coronavirus, we're providing free home access to our leading #digital #education programs @ABCmouse, @AdvAcademyUS, and @ReadingIQ for all affected US #preschool #middleschool #students AofL.com/schools

Via @SusanSMTan on Twitter: "A group of author friends & I are starting a @youtube channel, called #AuthorsEverywhere!, to provide kids & parents with #creative outlets & #activities during potential coronavirus quarantines." (cont'd)

"On the site, PB & MG #authors/#illustrators/#educators can post #writing and #story related #videos for kids. These videos can be anything from 2' writing prompts to longer 20' workshops. They can also include writing or #wordgames, #artprojects, #readalouds, you name it!"

There are lots of other great resources, but these are just some that are ramping up or opening paywalls or adding new services.
