Perspectives in Online Learning: Melissa Parker

Math teacher
North Albany Middle School

"Distance learning has proven to be both challenging and rewarding for me. At first, learning new technology programs was difficult, especially because it was in such a short amount of time, but I soon realized how valuable online academics will be in the future when we’re back in the classroom."

"The most difficult part of distance learning is not being able to see my students’ smiling faces and giving high-fives - those are necessary connections that our students so need. However, thanks to the North Albany Middle School team,  we have been able to reach out and touch the lives of our students and their families in so many different ways and are still building relationships that will last a lifetime."
