    Diving into E-Learning with Sarah

    Shifting back into teaching in person from a year of teaching online has been a struggle, and marrying the two experiences has been quite an experience.

    How has teaching online shaped our perspectives on technology now that we are back teaching in-person? What was the biggest challenge of teaching online? What role do you see in technology for the future of education? Sarah and I sit down and explore these questions.
