List of free resources #homeschooling #remotelearning
Being stuck at home has been hard for everyone. We at Careermap admire you for sticking with your
studies during these strange times. Your teachers may well be giving you assignments and other work,
along with resources to reference, but we thought we would pull together a list too.
Some of the resources listed below are subject specific and others offer more than one topic.
We have also included some that are just fun whilst expanding your knowledge.
If you have any suggestions, please get in touch with us on Twitter, Facebook or Instagram.
We would love to hear from you!
