Abstract
This chapter describes how teachers have used structured discussions and digital tools to transition from traditional classrooms to remote, online instruction during the COVID-19 pandemic. With emphasis on culturally and linguistically diverse students, the chapter includes examples of how teachers reinforce literacy while supporting 21st century skills such as collaboration, communication, critical thinking, and creativity. Tools and strategies are presented along with examples teachers can use to facilitate student learning across content areas in virtual classrooms.
