websites & online experiences
RACE
have you considered a podcast before? NPR's Code Switch is a great place to start on questions related to race.
02
CLASS/ POVERTY
poverty simulations are a powerful classroom tool to build empathy, and explain what a poverty budget and daily livelihood looks like. I recommend this one: https://www.povertysimulation.net/about/
03
Carceral experiences/ Reentry
reentry simulation are a powerful tool to understand the challenges and restrictions placed on individuals reentering society after incarceration. Find a community partner (RISE in Nebraska for example) or follow the online guidance on how to design this educational experiment with your class.
