As schools shift back to in-person instruction, there are certain aspects of remote learning worth holding onto. From the use of digital tools to foster collaboration to the quick availability of presentation and publishing programs, some components of online teaching and learning have a place in traditional classroom settings. However many teachers were using technology to help accomplish learning goals well before the pandemic. But the wider adoption of tech-infused instructional practices has put all members of a school community in a position to have deeper conversations around technology integration than might have felt possible in the past. Remote settings this past year have given more classroom teachers and school administrators context and experience with how digital tools can facilitate teaching and learning. There are many aspects of in-person instruction well worth returning to. In shared physical spaces for collaborative learning, students can move around a room and have a better sense of nonverbal cues and body language as they work together.

The opportunities for online discussions, collaboration between students, and online publication and celebration of student work have increased greatly.

But teachers' imposed reliance on technology has also presented them with the chance to plan with intentionality and ensure students have an opportunity to explore essential, tech-friendly learning experiences.
