CHARLESTON, W.Va. – As snow blankets West Virginia this winter, parents need only turn to the Internet and Learn21 to help their children learn and entertain them, too, while schools are closed. Learn21, the West Virginia Department of Education’s online learning website, offers students and parents learning resources that can be accessed 24 hours a day. The site includes grade specific information from pre-k through Grade 12 in social studies, science and math.
“The content on Learn21 is such that students can use it to review content taught in class, practice work they are currently learning or move forward and learn new things,” said West Virginia Deputy Superintendent Jorea Marple. “Learn21 allows us to extend learning beyond the school day in a fun yet informative manner. Learn21 allows students to learn while they play.”
Learn21, created last spring with 32 math resources for students in grades preK-12, now includes hundreds of social studies, science and math offerings. New resources are added monthly with the help of 60 educators and technology integration specialists. The site is to be expanded further to include language arts and reading tools, fine arts, health, and career and technical education.
