eSN: Glad THAT year is over right? How does it feel to be concentrated on the fall?

KB: Definitely light at the end of the tunnel! And we certainly feel that sense of energy, not only in our school structure, however in our neighborhoods.

eSN: What were a few of the takeaways from last years experience?

KB: We were currently working on a one-to-one device movement, but obviously the pandemic stimulated it on greatly. I mean, thats just a school supply. As we began last year, and then of course, as we ended this year, we watched how our teachers took the brand-new tools and practices, especially Google Classroom, and used their platform as a one-stop store for trainees to be able to have consistent feedback and communication.

KB: We were already working on a one-to-one gadget movement, but obviously the pandemic stimulated it on significantly. What weve seen from our instructors is it wasnt about devices. I indicate, thats just a school supply. As we began in 2015, and then naturally, as we ended this year, we enjoyed how our teachers took the brand-new tools and practices, especially Google Classroom, and utilized their platform as a one-stop shop for students to be able to have continuous feedback and communication. It actually just opened everybodys eyes to how we can educate and how we can give feedback and how we can generate trainee voice.
