Millions of teachers across the nation are in their second year of teaching either in-person, online — or both.

Teachers are struggling to keep students engaged while learning new tech tools that are required to make online classes successful. wapo.st/3oqxmLe
During the pandemic, some teachers created YouTube videos that students can watch when they need help with a lesson.

Teachers also are learning how best to use the capabilities within video software to make lessons more interactive. wapo.st/3oqxmLe
Roberta McGuire, a West Virginia teacher, said the pandemic forced her to quickly understand the learning styles of her students.

She also has to educate some students and parents on the tech — sometimes even the most basic digital tools. wapo.st/3oqxmLe
As online teaching continues, the American Federation of Teachers, said it’s worried about the possible lack of resources for teachers that ultimately could make online learning less effective than in-person classes. wapo.st/3oqxmLe
The continued demand for online classes has made one thing clear: Virtual learning is much more than a stopgap solution during the pandemic, educators say.

And it’s an alternative way to learn that many families are finding they prefer. wapo.st/3oqxmLe

The purchases in the U.S. were part of an international buying spree.

Overall, the king has spent more than $106 million on properties that are held by shell companies registered to him alone rather than to the royal family or the Kingdom of Jordan. wapo.st/3A6jUyq

The U.S.’s decentralized, underfunded reporting system has repeatedly hampered efforts to combat the coronavirus wapo.st/3kSx2mr
Critically important data on vaccinations, infections, hospitalizations and deaths are scattered among local health departments, often out of date, hard to aggregate at the national level — and simply not up to the job of battling the virus. wapo.st/2Y4JC8Z
Multiple factors underlie this data deficit.

First and foremost: The U.S. does not have a national health system and must rely on a vast and decentralized public health infrastructure that is notoriously underfunded and full of holes. washingtonpost.com/health/2021/09…

The ivory-billed woodpecker, a ghostly bird whose long-rumored survival in the bottomland swamps of the South has haunted seekers for generations, will be officially declared extinct by U.S. officials after years of futile efforts to save it. wapo.st/3F2D1Nx
The Fish and Wildlife Service proposal to take 23 animals and plants off the endangered species list — because none can be found in the wild — exposes what scientists say is an accelerating rate of extinction worldwide. wapo.st/3F2D1Nx
A million plants and animals are in danger of disappearing, many within decades.

The newly extinct species are the casualties of climate change and habitat destruction, dying out sooner than any new protections can save them. wapo.st/3F2D1Nx

Misinformation researchers have for years said the popularity of anti-vaccine content on YouTube was contributing to growing skepticism of lifesaving vaccines in the United States and around the world. wapo.st/3kQ7qX7
