For many schools around the world, the shift to remote learning has understandably been an enormous transition with serious challenges along the way.

For weeks now, students and teachers have been settling into the uncharted routine of distance learning. Today I want to thank all of the educators who are connecting classrooms and classmates together in the sudden shift to remote learning.

From time to time, we feature stories about Changemakers, as we call them, educators who are making a difference in the lives of students around the world. Today’s post was written by Nancy Zuckerbrod, a Washington D.C.

Over the last few weeks, schools have been working tirelessly to enable distance learning for their students and faculty.

From time to time, we feature guest blogs from educators who are making a difference in the lives of young people and who are eager to share their success with the Microsoft Education community.

We know that many schools and universities already use learning management systems (LMS) to manage assignments and content for their courses, but sometimes struggle to keep remote students connected as a class.

As we continue to see educators around the world transition to distance learning our team is here to help, listen, and support you and your students.

In the weeks since the COVID-19 outbreak first hit China, our education customers in the region have done amazing things to keep students learning while they transition to learning remotely.

By connecting our students globally, we provide them with hands-on opportunities to experience other peoples’ cultures, stories, languages, diverse living circumstances, opinions and many other aspects of each other’s lives.
