ORANGE COUNTY, Fla. – Thousands of Orange County students will be the first to return to school in Central Florida on Monday during the era of the COVID-19 pandemic.
All 212,000 students will start the new year learning online through the district's "LaunchED@Home" digital learning program before transitioning to the learning option they chose on August 21.
To prepare for digital learning, the school district made enhancements to Canvas, the learning platform, and inside classrooms, including a camera to show documents virtually, a microphone to convert audio digitally, and adding more bandwidth to the district's servers.
