It is no secret that the COVID-19 pandemic has impacted education from both a teaching and a learning standpoint. To conclude the CONNECT Teaching Conference, it seems most fitting for educators to hear from a panel of students, who will provide the opportunity for an open discussion about their experiences in the last two years, highlighting challenges and victories for teachers and students alike. By creating a space for student voices to be heard, we hope to provide a fresh perspective through the eyes of our students. Educators will have the chance to ask the student panelists questions about their pandemic learning experiences and be presented with helpful insight and tools for their own future teaching.
