Winona State University-Rochester is here to help answer questions about online education, distance learning, and other alternative modes of delivery during the COVID-19 pandemic. Dr. Jeanine Gangeness, Associate Vice President of Rochester, recently held on online video chat with Ms. Taylor Monnet, a new second grade teacher and current student of the WSU-Rochester Graduate Induction Program. Ms. Monnet shares her perspective as a first-year teacher as she responds to the challenges of quickly preparing her elementary school classroom for distance learning.

We hope this conversation will help provide you with a better understanding of what online education is and how technology will help teachers continue to provide quality education in a time of necessary physical distancing and self-isolation.
