Distance Learning During Quarantine
On March 24, 2020, Wisconsin Governor Tony Evers signed the “Safer at Home” executive order due to the Coronavirus pandemic. The order expressed that “public and private K-12 schools are closed for pupil instruction.” Higher Education in Wisconsin was also mandated to transition to online education. Only travel to return home or to gather materials for distance learning were allowed under the order. For the first time in history, education around the country transitioned online. This exhibit explores how students and teachers experienced this shift.
