@JordanKreft4 I agree! Covid-19 made schools have to find alternative routes for learning when in-person classes were not possible. Lots of people gained technological skills that they hadn't used before.

The CARP model focuses on contrast, alignment, repetition, and proximity. This can help teachers build websites that are easy for students and parents to follow. #unietd

Technology can be a valuable tool for the classroom to connect students to another part of the world! #unietd
