In the past few years, the educational landscape has shifted dramatically. While trends toward technology as a tool for learning were increasing over the past decade, the pandemic created an instant need for change. Virtual learning is a reality for most students, and as in-person learning resumes, we cannot forget the lessons we have learned along the way.

There are countless ways that educators have used to make virtual learning exciting for their students. Different platforms have allowed students to work together through many of Microsoft’s tools. Video connections, as well as discussion posts and feedback, create a sense of community where students and teachers can connect and work with one another.

It is important to remember that the world is still not quite back to the way it used to be, and it may never be the same again. We need to take the lessons we learned with us moving forward; keep collaborating online and keep making connections around the globe.

Education is a process that never stops. It is not confined to the classroom. If we continue to reach out; there is no end to what we can learn and experience.
