BLACKSBURG â Some time this past winter when nearly all the high schoolers temporarily went remote, chemistry and ecology teacher Amber Pogue encountered a technical glitch.
Pogue said the Google Meet application during one class distorted her voice, making it sound as if she was some character in a crime show demanding a ransom. It amused her students, she said.
âMy remote students couldnât keep it together,â Pogue said, laughing as she recalled the story.
Those kinds of hurdles have not been uncommon throughout the COVID-19 pandemic, but many teachers such as Pogue have found different ways to adapt to the unusual challenges presented by the health crisis.
