Discovery Education has created a free app that helps children understand social distancing. The app allows users to point a device at another person or object and see if it is an appropriate social distance. The app, called Social Distancing Training, helps young people grasp the abstract concept of social distancing in a concrete manner. The app includes info from the World Health Organization and the Centers for Disease Control. The Social Distance Training app can be downloaded on an iPhone or Ipad in the @Apple App store.

Discovery Education has also created free resources for parents and caregivers. Five weeks of resources are organized by grade, with offerings for K-2, grades 3-5, grades 6-8, and grades 9-12.
