text: Many schools recently have prioritized integrating technology in the classroom wherever possible, and have seen the benefits from doing so. Distance learning is yet another beneficial example of technology integration in the classroom. Without distance learning as an option students who miss a day have to catch up with the rest of the class by either talking to their teacher individually or getting the materials beforehand for planned absences. This puts extra stress on the students as well as the teachers who have to spend time worrying about individual students. With distance learning, however, teachers can spend more time focusing on the class as a whole and the standards of learning for all of their students.
