Being a parent of four young kids I often find myself wondering what I'm going to do w/ them for the summer when they get out of school. When thinking about this and looking over many options, I noticed lots of Ed Tech companies have started to offer online summer programs/camps. This is a fantastic way (and lots of times inexpensive/affordable) for students to spend some time in the summer and help prevent summer learning loss. With that being said I've decided to create a list of 10 excellent educational programs that students can take online.*This list is in alphabetical order.
** Not offered online
