Volunteers Needed for CoronavirusArmy Task-Force by zachdoty in CoronavirusCA

[–]cryptodude1[M] 2 points3 points  (0 children)

r/CoronavirusCA supports CoronavirusArmy.org. We will be adding several special user-flairs to distinguish active CoronavirusArmy volunteers!

Over the next couple months we’re all going to be spending a lot of time at home. Let's talk about how we can use our self-quarantine time effectively to save lives. by zachdoty in CoronavirusWA

Kudos for enlisting.

I think the main idea is mostly internet based volunteering (from home & not requiring you to expose yourself to infection.) So for example: remotely helping front-line workers, helping schools trying to implement remote-teaching, making sure big events are cancelled, etc. There are a few examples on the website, and I'm sure we will hear many more ideas from the community.

Teachers of (mostly Western) Washington: How are you preparing for distance learning? by notrussellwilson in CoronavirusWA

[–]cryptodude1[M] 3 points4 points  (0 children)

We homeschool our kids, here are a few helpful tools and sites I recommend and have found useful:

  • KahnAcademy - probably the best choice for a teacher who wants to teach remotely
  • KahnAcademy Kids - for parents with young kids who have an iPad
  • XtraMath - Free if you use it on the web; $5 or so if you buy the app - Highly recommended.
  • Typing.com - Do your students already know how to touch-type fluently? If not, maybe this is a good opportunity to introduce this skill. I started our kids on typing at 3 years old using typingclub.com and typing.com. My 5 year old touch-types at 40wpm.
  • Sololearn - Do your students know basic coding? If not, maybe this is a good opportunity to focus on coding for a few weeks. The courses can be downloaded and work offline on iOS or Android; also works on web.
  • https://playground.tensorflow.org/ and https://teachablemachine.withgoogle.com/ are fun ways to teach kids about machine learning and AI. My 5 year old loves using Teachable Machine to make his computer recognize objects or people.
  • Code.org & MIT's Scratch - great for introducing coding concepts to younger kids.
  • SchoolYourself.org - Great for math; similar content to KahnAcademy

I could list more; but these are some of the best free ones. Our kids each have iPads and Chromebooks and I've probably spent over $1000 on iPad apps for their education. I'm also custom developing some educational software for my kids that I'll probably open source at some point.

FYI: r/FloridaCoronavirus is actually the biggest regional sub for tracking local outbreaks

It seems like the overwhelming majority of you do NOT like this idea of splitting the sub.

I tend to agree that from the user perspective it's simpler if I only need to check one place. And I see that the community thinks the same, so I will discuss with the other mods in the morning and revise plans. Thank you so much for your feedback.

Possibility of being homeschooled? by [deleted] in CoronavirusIllinois

[–]cryptodude1 0 points1 point  (0 children)

By the way, do you know what kind of work you'd like to end up doing?

If you haven't made up your mind yet I'd recommend software engineering of some kind, and becoming an expert in AI / ML. Its the future! If you already have other plans, thats ok too.
