PCC’s Jeremy Morris demonstrates one of the Webex camera systems the college is using to turn traditional classroom settings into interactive virtual classrooms. Morris says many of the faculty members he’s trained on the technology have found it beneficial and easy to operate. He noted that, as a group, employees had amassed nearly 20,000 hours utilizing the college’s Webex devices.

We Want to Go Back! But #OnlyWhenItsSafe!

Teachers protested at a socially distant standout to call on Governor Baker to take action in support of safe and healthy public schools and colleges. Supporters urged Governor Baker to:

1. Establish a uniform requirement for all districts to start the year with a comprehensive distance learning plan. Provide immediate support for access to the internet where it is lacking.

2. Set clear health and safety standards that must be met for the gradual return of in-person learning, including:

•Indoor air quality and ventilation in school buildings that meet appropriate regulatory and industry standards.

•Rapid COVID-19 testing that is accessible, routine, and free to students and staff.

•Community and public health benchmarks are established, met, and reported transparently.

Forlorn by Annabel Hughes, ITC media student

Media Communication students the Institute of Technology at Syracuse Central High School worked this fall to tell stories about their lives during the pandemic using photography.

Students’ photographic stories expressed a range of subjects including: commentary on wearing masks, social distancing, remote learning, racism, mental health and what it’s like to be a teenager from Syracuse in today’s America.

This project was inspired by Bousquet Holstein’s 12th Annual Photography Contest and The Stand’s 2020 re-imagined Photo Walk — both which aimed to convey similar themes of our “new normal.”

The vision of an isolated online learner is one I strive to avoid. This is the result of bad learning design that places emphasis on content, rather than the human trying to learn with it. Online learning should not create this feeling. Learning is social, situated within a context, and so both these factors can be brought into the design of learning to avoid isolation.
