The COVID-19 pandemic forced millions of students around the United States and the world into an environment of isolation, which included their education. Trying to continue with schooling became a significant challenge for many teachers. As an effort to cope with this new situation, teachers worked to adapt their lesson plans and teaching styles to an online format. Throughout the pandemic, they were met with varying degrees of success, each having their own experiences developing online lesson plans. Many were able to develop new strategies centering on new innovations and existing technologies to maintain their students' engagement in their studies.
