Due to COVID-19 and social distancing guidelines, remote learning seems to be here to stay. A likely mix of onsite and online classes seem to be the new normal for schools all around the nation.
Children who may carry the virus with fewer symptoms can still infect vulnerable family members, so providing at-home learning opportunities may lessen the exposure for immune-compromised individuals. During these uncertain times, there is a real need for the education industry to rethink how they operate. When it comes to schools, there is a great transformation that will continue long after the virus threat subsides.
The response to the coronavirus pandemic has demonstrated how remote tools can help transform how we teach and learn. But this push for change started long before the pandemic struck. For years, school staff have been exploring new transformative approaches to K-12 education and online lessons are now one more step in that process.
