    In middle school I had teachers who had smart boards in their classes instead of the traditional chalk boards or white boards. This was more interactive and they would frequently call students up to come do work on the board.

    Teachers would have us do group work on a shared google doc so we could all contribute and collaborate but on separate laptops.

    When covid happened I was in my junior year of high school and they moved everything to virtual zoom learning, which caused issues because many students at my school didn't have laptops at home and/or wifi.
