Google Resources
Google also put together a Teach From Home Toolkit that's worth checking out for resources, explanations of their products and ways in which they can be used.
Shout out to Lauren Genesky, for sharing these resources!

Getting a Resource Approved:
The process for getting a resource approved has not changed. If you find an awesome resource that is not listed in DRPL as "allowed" or "approved", you will need to email Tara Gold and Rachell Genesky. They will take your request and present it to our MTAC for approval. Once approved, you will be notified and asked to go back to the Digital Resource Product Library to fill out the request form. Please note that once the request form is submitted we do not have a timeline for approval and the requested resource may not be used with students until WCPSS has "allowed" or "approved" it.
*The approval of a resource does not equate to an endorsement or promise of payment for a resource by the district.
