ZOOM in on Distance Learning

By

As everyone keeps saying, 2020 was a year like no other.

One of the ways it has been a year like no other, is teaching online, in my case through Zoom, engaging in what is called, “distance learning”.

Well, you can’t beat the commute and clean-up time, and I found there are indeed ways to connect significantly with students and colleagues and even teach some things!

Here are some highlights, with further posts illuminating specific projects, classes and workshops.

Enjoy. From the expression on these faces, these makers did!

Here’s to a better 2021.
To Your Health.
