Reference Guide
Creator, Designer, and Developer
During the height of the COVID-19 pandemic, I developed this comprehensive resource guide using Wix as part of my Advanced Instruction coursework at UVA. Created specifically for K-12 educators facing unprecedented challenges, this guide directly addresses the widespread Zoom fatigue affecting both teachers and students.
The resource strategically organizes digital tools around the three critical interaction dimensions of effective online learning:
-
Student-to-Content: Tools that enhance material engagement
-
Student-to-Instructor: Platforms that facilitate meaningful teaching connections
-
Student-to-Peer: Solutions that foster collaborative learning environments
