Amid Coronavirus, St. Thomas Professor Launches Virtual Classroom For Teachers

MINNEAPOLIS (WCCO) -- COVID-19 has uprooted classroom lesson plans and pushed teachers into uncharted territory.

As obstacles arise a local professor is helping teachers around the world by creating a virtual classroom of their own.

AnnMarie Thomas, with the University of St. Thomas, launched ThePlayLine, a virtual space for educators. Teachers from Minnesota, South Africa to Italy and beyond are connecting face-to-face to break down barriers, share ideas and converse with their peers.

The zoom call is open to educators once a day for 30 minutes.
