Today, education and technology are so closely intertwined it’s hard to remember a world where they didn’t coexist. Over the past three years, school districts quickly adopted and integrated various technologies, from one-to-one device programs and new software to networks that could shoulder the increased demand. None of these innovations would have been possible with the hard work of K–12 IT leaders.

Joshua Davenport feels like he really knows how to talk to people. After a stint as a restaurant server, eight years working as a community crisis liaison, and the last three years as a restorative interventionist in a public high school, he’s learned how to read people, how to build their trust, and how to form meaningful connections with them. Those are all skills that he expects will serve him well when he becomes a classroom teacher in the not-too-distant future.

Distance learning in colleges and universities is now recognized as more than an alternative to the traditional face-to-face classroom (Higher Ed Partners, 2021), which is how distance learning was largely viewed at the time that institutions turned entirely to virtual teaching and learning during COVID-19 (Suruchi & Dutt, 2021). Distance learning is viewed today as a parallel learning modality, and is both valued and entrenched in higher education (Marcus. 2022; Nworie,2021).
