WOW Wednesday – MVSD Remote Learning Support Team

   Every Wednesday I highlight some of our amazing MVSD staff on our social media pages. Everyday our staff are using tech in new and exciting ways, are learning new skills, and are sharing ways in which ed tech is assisting them in their practice.

As is the case the world over, our programming has been constantly evolving in MVSD as we adapt to new health orders and welcome new resources and supports. This week we welcomed two new staff members to MVSD who are working as part of our robust remote learning team. It can be challenging to start a new role mid-year and these individuals have taken on the task and jumped in!
