 Being a distant student was interesting and demanding, during the Covid-19-induced remote learning phase. The freedom that distance learning provides is one thing I value about it.

These pages typically feature details about the course curriculum, assignments, and important announcements. Publicly accessible information may include the class syllabus, teacher contact details, and general overviews of topics covered in the class. However, without log-in privileges, certain details, such as specific assignment grades or personalized feedback, remain private. These class pages serve as a centralized hub for communication and resource-sharing, fostering a collaborative learning environment between teachers, students, and parents.      In my future role as an educator, I envision using technology to enhance effectiveness in the classroom. Google Classroom, for instance, is a tool for managing assignments, distributing resources, and facilitating communication with...
