<p>These days, a teacher, especially at the college level, darn near
needs an associate's degree in Electrical Technology to operate
all the classroom electronics. <br>
</p>
<p><br>
</p>
<p>I had enough trouble, 10 years back, as an adjunct instructor,
just dealing with the electronic whiteboard in a small
computer-lab classroom. <br>

It's surprising how complex some of these systems are. Multiple
monitors, multiple projectors that show different inputs,
software to record it all for later learning.</div>

I had a friend call and ask to use my trailer to haul
some furniture for his son going back to college. It's
going to be interesting how this all unfolds.</div>

I work in IT at University of Iowa, so for me this work
from home has been pretty much business as usual so I'm
very lucky in that regard. I work closely with the folks
that maintain the classrooms (due to podium technology)
and they are equipping far more rooms to keep the class
sizes down. In addition some will attend the classroom
while others participate online.</div>

But as John says, the dorms and apartment complexes are
confined spaces. And lets be honest, when Friday night
and the weekend roll around, how many teen and
20-somethings are going to want to social distance? We
saw pictures of Spring Break in the south. I presume
we're going to see an uptick in our county numbers in
early October.</div>

2020 has been a shit-show of a year, plus it's an

year in the rear view mirror, things have got to get
better....right?</div>
