News 10's jordan kudisch is live from our newsroom.

She explains how change could be good for your child's education.

If you're learning behind a screen... it may be hard to stay engaged.

Or maybe it's intimdating..

But..

The person i interviewed with says it doesn't have to be.

Technology has its obstacles..

But also its upsides.

Like traditional learning... the more you do it-- the easier it gets.

Sure..

You may not use chalkboards..

But now you can learn from white boards.

I sat down with "liz sliger" (sly-ge}... an online educator who says that right now technology could not only be a way to continue education... but also a way to connect students during a difficult and lonely time.

"we're in this together, there's never been a time like it in my experience where we need to come together in this way and we're social distancing, well connections can be made.

So get in there, you don't have to be perfect."

Coming up... why experts say just because it's behind the screen..

Doesn't make it any less of an education.
