Remote control: preparing America's schools for a new way of learning following the pandemic
Use Left/Right to seek, Home/End to jump to start or end. Hold shift to jump forward or backward.
On this episode of Connected Nation, we'll examine how America’s schools can better respond to the need for internet connectivity at home and in the classroom.
We talk with leaders from the Utah Education Network about work done prior to 2020 that allowed them to more easily pivot to remote learning, learn how the approach is different for Tribal lands, and ask "what's next" as schools prepare for the "new normal" of learning.
