The pandemic has forced an Ohio-based educator to learn how to teach hands-on agriculture classes through a screen.
Sasha Sigetic is agroecology program manager at Hocking College.
“It’s been really interesting trying to on-the-fly convert an entire in-person program like teaching people how to farm into an online format,” she says.
Sigetic says students connected and adapted using Blackboard Collaborate, an online platform, but it wasn’t the same as having in-person classes.
