With the last year and a half spent teaching in front of a screen, what can educators take away from their remote learning experience and bring back to the classroom? Jen Roberts explains.<\/em><\/h2>\n

As the pandemic continues to be fluid, many districts have been affected by staff shortages, start delays, and the shift back to remote learning. But for schools still in the classroom, there are many skills that were learned during the pandemic that can now be capitalized on to enhance classroom instruction and student learning.
\nStudents learned new technology and became more skilled with the programs they already knew. The use of technology increased student engagement, and teachers became experts at personalizing student learning. Across the board, students and educators became more resilient as they worked together to navigate the unknown educational landscape of online learning.<\/p>\n

Technology<\/h3>\n

When the pandemic began, schools were quickly closed, leaving teachers scrambling to adapt classroom-based lessons for online instruction. This transition was easier for schools that already had technology in place. Other schools not only had to learn new programs in a hurried fashion, they sometimes even had to find computers and laptops to facilitate at-home learning.
\nNow that schools are most likely returning to in-person instruction in the fall, teachers should reframe how they think about technology in the classroom. Instead of technology being the way instruction is delivered, it should now be viewed as a way to enhance in-class learning. Technology has the potential to create dynamic learning environments that connect students to the real world, while also preparing them for college and careers.<\/p>\n
