If I may be so bold, this is in fact one of the very reasons why my team and I have created sharetheboard.com I have lots of kids and some of them have been forced to spend much more time in front of screens, as schooling has gone fully remote. The problem is that these lessons often take the form of staring at some presentation or someone's screen... broken up only slightly by a myriad of small faces or icons. Our goal was to help make the remote learning experience a bit more natural: allowing educators to use intuitive, analog tools such as whiteboards and blackboards and, in doing so, keep eye contact with their students. Kids behave (and, I reckon, learn) differently, in this user experience. There's something familiar about seeing your teacher at the "head" of the class, expounding ideas on a board and looking right back at you as she address your question. I have multiple educators in my family and they've provided great feedback from using the tool. I myself use it for visual collaboration with remote colleagues. So, I guess, my point is: remote learning is here to stay, in one form or another. But there is a lot we can do to help make it more comfortable, natural, and effective.
