Macbeth ponders online learning.


Tomorrow, and tomorrow, and tomorrow,
Creeps in this petty pace from week to week
To the last syllable of recorded trimester.
And all our yesterdays have lighted students
The way to graduation. Out, out, online learning!
Google Classroom's but a walking shadow, a poor player
That struts and Screen-castifies its hour upon the stage
But cannot replace face-to-face instruction. This is a time
Necessitated for health, full of Zoom and Google Meets,
All of us missing so much, yet learning still.
Our senior team turned in our last set of online lessons today. What a privilege to work with my innovative and tireless colleagues! Over the last eight weeks, we have developed lessons, videos, and websites for online learning that we know will benefit our students in the future, too--whatever that learning environment may be.
