-- (Toronto, Ontario)-- Since spreading across the globe earlier this year, COVID-19 has brought about unprecedented changes. Due to mandatory lockdowns and shelter-in-place orders, countless people throughout North America are now largely confined to their homes. With this being the first pandemic to take shape in the last century, those affected are unsure of how to proceed or what to expect during the months to come. In light of this issue, a representative from online shopping connection, Dealhack has published a list of free online services during COVID-19.
"Countless families have been impacted by the pandemic in one way or another," said the Dealhack spokesperson. "More parents than ever before are now either unemployed or working from home. At the same time, quite a few students have converted to online learning rather than attending school in a traditional classroom. This presents numerous challenges for people, and many aren't sure of where to turn. Because of all this, hundreds of companies have extended free online resources to the public, but far too many people aren't aware they're available. We're hoping that publishing this list will change that."
Many of the options on the list are geared toward students. Free online learning tools and resources have been made available to students of all ages ranging from kindergarten to college. While some cover basic classroom subjects, such as Reading and Language Arts, others focus on STEAM courses. Several resources are also being provided for teachers and parents to aid them in fostering students' learning. Certain listings offer courses students would not have access to in a conventional classroom setting, including aerospace, robotics, and astronomy.
In addition to educational websites, virtual classrooms, and other tools, the list contains free communications solutions. These include complimentary texting, messaging, calling, and videoconferencing services. Some are designed for use in conjunction with educational resources whereas others are available for multiple purposes.
Several of the free resources on the list focus on physical and emotional wellness as well. These offerings are designed to help reduce anxiety, depression, and other mental and emotional issues stemming from the sense of isolation many people are experiencing at present. They also aid families who are currently coping with those and other problems. Yoga, meditation, counseling, and workout tips and sessions have been released along with free links to parenting advice to name a few. Informational resources about the pandemic itself and various aspects of COVID-19 have also been released.
Concluded the Dealhack representative, "Nearly two billion children and billions of adults are now largely confined to their homes instead of seeing the world in the way they're accustomed to. Families are experiencing a range of challenges because of all the changes, and working through them takes on a different meaning for everyone. Just as many of the pandemic-related restrictions were being lifted, cases of the virus surged, so no one is sure of when or if things will return to normal. All the free resources companies are offering can certainly help make matters a bit simpler, though. We encourage anyone interested to look over the list to see which options will help them."
