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!
