As teachers, we have been navigating remote learning since March of 2020. While many teachers (and students) have been able to re-enter the building in a hybrid format, many of us are still teaching and learning from home. It has been so difficult for us to reimagine our teaching style in a way that supports our new format of instruction, but it has definitely improved our practice to be thrown into a season of growth. We are working hard to foster and maintain relationships with each and every one of our students, but our current format has presented us with many challenges. The challenge that I am addressing by creating this project, is the inability to see every student while delivering instruction. This is something that we took for granted when we were teaching in the building, but on Zoom, this becomes nearly impossible (especially when screen sharing to provide visual aids.) What might sound like a small issue, creates a larger problem as students begin to feel unheard when the teacher cannot see who is raising their hand to ask or answer a question. Having a second monitor would not only solve this issue within my virtual classroom, but it would improve the efficiency of my content presentation and meaningful interactions with students.
