I have always felt decently tech savvy, but teaching virtual full time has definitely forced me to look into more things out there, which has been great. I've learned a lot of awesome things available that I see myself using in the future whether we're virtual or face to face.

I think one positive is the way kids look at school. You could tell when students came back face to face, it almost seemed like they were appreciating being here more. They wouldn't necessarily use that language to describe it but for the most part, they seemed so relieved to be face to face.

# data[].attributes.body
At first, the struggle came from doing both. I think managing that was really hard and trying to figure out the best way to do that. Especially for things that were so simple, like attendance. It was A LOT of time at the beginning and then we kind of got in the groove and then right when the groove was there, we ended up virtual. The constant change has been really difficult at times!

I love using mote and grade transferer. (That may be more than 2 weeks.) Attempted a trial run of break out rooms yesterday and I am excited to see how I can better use that in my live lesson! The trial was a little rough (HA!) but I learned what they could see/what we needed to do to make it work better!

I really struggle with the unknown of it all. When could we be going back face to face, how long will we be online, etc. It is really difficult to jump back and forth and sometimes I think the perception is "the kids handle it well." But I like to think it goes well because of what our admins and staff have put in to make that happen. Going back and forth is NOT easy even if it appears that way to people on the outside! :)

I know that we have multiple students who are disengaged when we are face to face. However, we at least see their faces and know that they are being exposed to the curriculum. When they are disengaged online, I feel that they end up getting nothing. I so badly want to make them want to learn. This time reinforces the importance of helping students understand that they are the ones responsible for their own learning.
