Optimizing Teaching and Learning Experiences in Virtual and Hybrid Classes
Home to an advanced world languages program, Farragut High School is widely recognized for preparing its students to navigate an increasingly diverse and dynamic world. However, in the spring of 2020, the global pandemic forced the high school to suspend all on-site activities and brought about new challenges with teaching world languages when schools reopened in the fall.
To ensure continuity of learning and promote student engagement in her virtual and hybrid classes, Señora Allison Maldonado, an Advanced Placement (AP) Spanish teacher with more than 30 years of teaching experience, turned to Logitech Solutions for Education.

Equipped with just a laptop with an integrated webcam, transitioning to virtual and hybrid classes posed some challenges. When teaching from home, environmental factors such as low-light and the noise and distractions complicated her ability to provide the optimal learning experiences.
When schools reopened in the fall, Señora Maldonado needed to be seen and heard by students in the class and online. However, her classroom was not equipped with video and audio capabilities to support her desire to move, capture the whiteboard, or interact in a way that all students felt included. In addition, having to spend so many hours using a laptop with a trackpad was not always comfortable or efficient.
Logitech MeetUp
For teaching at home, Señora Maldonado invested in the Logitech Brio 4K Webcam to use for video collaboration and as a document camera. To improve audio, she chose the Logitech Zone Wireless headset. For her classroom, she chose the Logitech MeetUp for video collaboration. At her workstation you will find the Logitech K780 Multi-device Wireless Keyboard, an MX Anywhere 2S Mouse, a Spotlight presenter, a Logitech Crayon for digital whiteboarding, a WONDERBOOM 2 speaker to share Spanish music, and a Logitech Slim Folio for her iPad.
