AVer Education, Distance Learning Resources, Remote Learning

Planning for the unknown

There are still a lot of questions going into the 2021/2022 school year as to the future of teaching and learning. While most schools and districts plan to go back full in-class, the influx in variant cases have caused spiking in most areas and changes in climate, going back to some kind of remote learning is seemingly inevitable, even for short periods as deemed necessary. Furthermore, with a good portion of the K-12 student population being ineligible to receive vaccinations, it is unknown how quickly the virus could spread again.

With this in mind, multiple rounds of emergency funding began in 2020 are being scheduled through 2024 to help schools and districts prepare for every scenario. AVer education solutions, including Distance Learning Tracking Cameras, Document Cameras and UV Sanitizing Charging Carts all qualify to be purchased with this funding.

“One of the ways to make screen time more meaningful is to use available technology to create as dynamic an environment as possible. Video streaming the best way to do this. Blending a mix of synchronous (live) and asynchronous (pre-recorded) lessons will help mix learning modalities so that students remain engaged.”
