Coronavirus school closures could be the worst thing to ever happen to schools, the best thing or somewhere in between, says one superintendent.

COVID-19 has disrupted the lives of students, teachers and communities. But most of us recognize that the education system has been in need of disruption for years, says DA guest columnist David Miyashiro, superintendent of the Cajon Valley Union School District.

Jaime Donally, an ed-tech consultant and FETC featured speaker, says educators and students can collaborate, create and connect in these 360-degree environments.
