Facebook Messenger has launched a new initiative to celebrate the work of teachers, as part of National Teacher Appreciation Day, which is coming up on May 4th.
Teachers, as Facebook notes, have faced an increasingly difficult task over the past year, working to re-configure their processes into online learning, while also adapting and developing knowledge of whole new systems themselves, in order to facilitate COVID-impacted requirements.
That s turned their entire lesson plans on their head - while teachers have also had to maintain care for individual students via video links, and establish connection with parents in all new ways.
Now, Facebook s giving users a chance to recognize those efforts.
