How do you

Zen
Relaxed and not worrying about things that
you cannot change
- Dictionary.Cambridge.org
“What is happening in K12 schools is not intentionally
designed online learning. It is remote access, emergency
digital learning. The only way we would have online learning
is if educators had the time and the {training} to develop
online learning environments and resources. We didn’t.”
- Dr. Verena Roberts, @Verananz

"Give yourself grace during distance
learning."
