The struggles of the virtual classroom are real! As I’ve pushed myself to make things as “normal” for my students as I can, it has made me realize all of the things that I had previously taken for granted. Maybe I’m old school, but I want my students to see my handwriting on the board, like the olden days (of 2019)! With an iPad and Apple Pencil, I will be able to share notes with my students on the board, and in my own handwriting! They will be able to see me model how to annotate text! It would make the virtual classroom feel more authentic!
