My school actually had distance learning program set ups that i remember using in elementary school. I personally would these really ineffective ways of communicating information. The entire time I was overcome by the idea that there was a person standing on a green screen and that this entire this was basically fake. Part of the reason i like live entertainment over film is the real quality of it. I think to keep younger children interested, you have to do something real.
