ALLS has developed different educational games to aid children in subjects such as English, Math, Science, and Filipino. To be able to reach more parents, teachers, and students who can benefit from these games, ALLS has partnered with Streets to Schools!

Streets to Schools is a youth organization actively bridging children and youth in street situations by amplifying the Global Goals for Sustainable Development and UN Convention on the Rights of the Child. Investing in the young to achieve 2030 and beyond.

Streets to Schools is currently recruiting volunteers that want to create videos of themselves playing and reviewing the different educational games. More details may be found in their Facebook post.

A group of IES and government supported edtech developers and researchers who have participated at past ED Games Expo are collaborating to create a series of guides with 1-pagers on learning games and technologies that are “ready now.”

Educators are indeed overloaded these days. The hope is that these guides can provide helpful information in one location on innovations that are research-based, feasible to implement, highly engaging, and ready now whether for in-class, hybrid, or fully remote teaching and learning.

ALLS would like to share these resources so school administrators, teachers, and parents everywhere can have access to high-quality materials to teach and engage with their students. The Math guide is now available. Guides for Science and Engineering, Social Studies, Early Learning, and Special Education will follow soon.

Neithan Casano of ALLS was featured in PSITE’s Webinar on Flexible Learning in Information Technology. This was about exploring the best online classroom strategies designed to empower students to learn effectively and efficiently.
