From India, North Penn Student Able To Attend Classes Virtually

LANSDALE, PA — While virtual learning has brought its fair share of challenges to students, teachers, and parents alike, it's also opened a series of unique doors that would've seemed impossible just a year ago.

And one example is right here at home in the North Penn School District.

High school student Mira Anugonda was faced with a seeming challenge when family issues required her to travel to India, her family's home country.

But, according to North Penn, virtual learning has provided a "simple solution" in a situation which otherwise would have resulted in missed time in school.

Mira recently gave a live presentation online for her exploratory German class, taught by Doug Moyer. From Mumbai, Mira talked about Berlin to her class in Lansdale.

"It was super fun," she said.

School officials have acknowledged that virtual learning is not ideal, but pointed to Mira's presentation as an example of "the good." And, just maybe, an unexpected and supplementary learning experience of its own.
