In honor of National Teacher Appreciation Day in the United States, Microsoft has announced the release of several learning tools designed to support both teachers and students in a hybrid in-person, online educational environment amidst the COVID-19 pandemic.
According to the company, 82 percent of educators agree that the lockdown has actually helped improve online educational technology. Moreover, such technology has also encouraged educators to adapt to an online teaching style.
