Ready-made Back-to-School Templates for Teachers

It is a special event where teachers get to see their students after a prolonged period of physical absence during which distance education was the norm.  In-person learning will be resumed again, although progressively, but our teaching/learning experiences have changed radically. Last year's sudden shift to online teaching which caught several teachers unprepared has set in a new reality, one that will be the new normal: digitality is here to stay and will be an essential component of the teaching process henceforth.
