Having two computers, one for teaching, and one for monitoring/supporting are lifesavers. Imagine trying to run a video call, slides, and class notes on a 13” laptop screen. Having a second computer screen would allow me to monitor students, answer individual questions, and needs while still keeping the rest of the class on task. Also, a larger screen would be great to see my students' works. In addition, it would be great to see my students' faces. There isn’t much we can do about the pandemic except to do our part. I will do my best to ensure my students get the best learning experience possible. A computer will help share assignments, engage students in various activities, provide real-time communication experiences with students regardless of the distance, enhance or expand lessons and increase knowledge for students.
