SETDA has assembled vetted examples,  resources and thinking from our trusted state members, affiliates and  partners to assist states, districts, and school leaders get started  with remote learning during this challenging time of COVID-19.  

 TDS Internet Service offers free 60 days of service to families with school age children.

 For families in towns served by TDS: 

Any family in need of internet service may call TDS at 888-225-5837.  They should tell the operator that they heard about the free 60 days of service for families with school-aged children, and the operator will know what to do. TDS will arrange an appointment for a technician to install service and a modem at the family's home. Current lead times are within one week, and it will probably be wise for families to call sooner rather than later.

With so many affected by the Corona virus I thought I would offer up a free resource you can pass on to your patrons. We offer all of our reminiscence therapy videos online, and anyone can sign up for a free 30 day trial. The system will send a reminder when your 30 days are up. Facilities can have up to 4 devices streaming at one time on one free account.

I have also reduced the paid subscription from $6.99 a month to $2.99 a month and $29.99 per year if anyone wants to continue their subscription after 30 days.
