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:

"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?"
