A Christmas carol reimagined by teachers at a Maryland school seems to perfectly capture one of 2020’s biggest struggles: virtual learning.
Educators from Gaithersburg Middle School created a parody song called “The 12 Days of Zoom Class.”
Holiday classic The Twelve Days of Christmas always seems like it goes on forever. And so did 2020 especially for teachers who have become too familiar with the many hiccups and tech problems possible during online learning.
Ernie Padilla shared this fun video with News4, saying he thinks it turned out well.
To all the educators out there: Thank you, and we hope you have a relaxing holiday break.

It’s been recorded and performed by hundreds of artists around the world. It’s been written about for decades. “Take Me Home, Country Roads” was John Denver’s first big hit and became both his signature song and West Virginia’s state song. Like many great songs, there are great stories behind the song as well. Some true, some not so true. Maryland Dec 29, 2020
The unexpected Covid-19 lockdowns around the world have greatly reduced the variables for the “future casting” that tech columnists are asked to do each year by editors.
WFH is now a bona fide acronym (for work from home) at least in the tech industry, where I see it used with as much regularity as well-known acronyms like SMS or OTP. It’s the new work movement.
But, like much else that exploded into the mainstream this year, it’s been a long time coming. I first wrote about “telecommuting”, as it was then called, in the late 1990s; before it evolved through several iterations of distributed workforce to plain old WFH.
