For a small, personal plug- I have started to have a play with Outschool.com and hosting my own courses for both kids and adults. Here is the link to my Outschool offerings for kids and reach out to learn more about my courses for adults. Feel free if there is something you are interested in that I can offer, I will.
Also I am launching a new Global-virtual secondary school program part of CTL Academy. Come join the revolution. Learn more here.
