Goals

To understand how EdTech companies (BrainPOP, Dreambox, IXL, Curriculum Associates, among many others) are doing in terms of supporting families affected by school closures due to the coronoavirus with a focus on 8th grade by answering the following key questions: What resources are being offered? Are there any restrictions on use? How can parents obtain the resources? How are the companies promoting the offer? What is any available data on uptake? And what has any coverage in media/social media been? in order to inform what else Age of Learning can be doing and who they can be partnering with to help minimize the impact to students of being out of school.
