‘Twas the final Class Before Winter Break
A poem for virtual education and learning heroes of 2020
T’was the last course before Winter Split, and during educator houses
Computers were shutting lower, an escape for keyboards and mouses
We’ve earned the holiday break as part of your, time for lighting and for cheer
And time to think about what was accomplished this season
Educators were warriors, the backbone of assistance our students needed
Who understood educators could rise to this occasion? Without doubt, we did.
Classes looked like before never, lesson programs could not have expected
That soon, Webex will be how learners and teachers connected.
Teaching designs were tested, once we embraced Hybrid Learning
Who knew “Virtual Educator” was the badge we’d all be earning?
It began scary, “How shall we keep students supported?”
It became  somewhere;almost enjoyable? On video, we  together;laughed until all of us snorted.
On grid movie! On whiteboarding! On digital background changing!
On Mute All! On messaging! Oh, the abilities we wound gaining up!
With some toys and tools from Cisco, to find the right tips
Live training classes, lesson planning tools, and virtual field journeys!
This season educators were the heroes of; so a lot resilience shown
We back look, realizing just how much we’ve discovered, and how our students possess grown
Though dreams of a secure go back to normalcy and class dance inside our heads
We’ve created the lasting impact, increasing student usage of learning instead
It’s because of YOU, dear educators, it had been created by that we’ve through
So we at Cisco, pause with love, to offer a heartfelt Thank You.
As we split from computer systems, to hold our families restricted
I wish Happy Holidays to all or any, and to all an excellent Winter Break.
