Offline educational tools or websites

---

@LISELLI ,hi
Yes , of course,every teacher has to be ready any time for manual,and mental physical practices,it cn be form of group lesson,games,Quize,open discussionaking models and many more according to related topic,these practices are helpful to creat self dependency in students and confidence to proceed knowledge by themselves.

Personally I usually downloads instructional videos on youtube directly using the "savefromNet" where video links are copied and pasted in the website, and then access is granted to download it for free. after this even with or without reliable network I am good to do.

Good efforts

Thank you for starting this important discussion! I completely agree having a backup plan is essential, especially when teaching in areas with unreliable internet. Here are a few offline educational tools and strategies that have worked well for me:

1.Offline Google Tools: Like you mentioned, enabling offline mode for Google Slides and Sheets is very useful.

2. YouTube Video Downloads :Download relevant videos in advance using YouTube Premium or free tools, so you don’t have to stream during class.

3.PowerPoint or PDF Lessons : I often convert interactive lessons into PowerPoint files with embedded videos or export them as PDFs to ensure smooth delivery without needing a live connection.

4.Offline Quiz Games (like Kahoot alternatives) – Tools like Quizizz and Hot Potatoes allow you to create and save quizzes for offline use.

Would love to hear more suggestions from others as well!

@LISELLI Great point, Liselli! Having offline options is so important, especially in areas with spotty or no internet access. In addition to downloading videos ahead of time, I’ve found that apps like Khan Academy Kids, Zearn, and PhET simulations offer offline features that work well in classrooms. Also, creating interactive activities using PowerPoint or PDF worksheets with embedded media can be a lifesaver when tech issues arise. I'd love to hear what others use too—always looking to expand my toolkit!

Hi... Not all schools have good internet. That’s why offline educational tools are very helpful. These are programs or apps that you can download once and use without the internet.
Some good offline tools are:

1. Khan Academy Lite (KA Lite)
2. Kolibri
3. Wikipedia Offline (Kiwix)
4. Offline Moodle
5. GCompris

Hi liselli you welcome. I hope you understand my reply

@LISELLI
"It’s really important to have backup plans when internet access is uncertain. Downloading videos and using offline features is a smart way to keep lessons running smoothly. Thanks for sharing these helpful tips!"

@Great idea! I also download materials ahead of time and use offline Google tools. Would love to hear about more offline resources others use!

Thanks a lot @BEGUM0167087d15 @BUSHR43f4bb18a0 @CUTEKfc710a7c49 @HIRAC405752f6f0 @MARIY0b647d9a23 @Samuel-Atta-Okoh @TEHNI58909e91f6
I appreciate all of your responses. I'm taking notes. If any one else knows of any more offline educational tools and websites please feel free to share.

@LISELLI yes it is a good idea and appropriate use of social media

Yes, I agree. Problems differ but solution matters. It is good to have contingency plan.

Thank you for sharing your thoughtful approach! It’s great to hear that you’re prepared with offline options—downloading videos in advance and enabling offline access for tools like Google Slides and Sheets is a smart strategy. I completely agree that having a backup plan is essential, especially in schools where internet access can be inconsistent.

Some additional offline educational resources that can be useful include:

Khan Academy Offline – You can download lessons and videos using the Khan Academy app.

Wikipedia Offline (Kiwix) – Kiwix allows you to download Wikipedia and other content for offline browsing.

PhET Simulations – Many science and math simulations from PhET can be downloaded and used without internet.

LibreOffice – A free suite of tools similar to Microsoft Office, great for creating lesson materials offline.

It would be wonderful if others could also share the offline tools or resources they use. Together, we can build a helpful list for all educators working in low-connectivity areas.

Thanks again for starting this important conversation!

Absolutely, thank you for bringing up such an important point! It's great that you're already taking proactive steps like downloading videos and enabling offline access for Google tools—those strategies make a big difference in minimizing disruptions.

"That's so true! Having a backup plan is essential. Besides downloading videos and using Google's offline mode, I've also used USB drives with educational content and offline apps like Khan Academy. What other strategies do you use to ensure continuity when internet connectivity is an issue?"
