Summary
We’ve talked a lot about how little kids (and their parents) experienced schooling disruptions over the past year. But college students, their families, and their instructors also went through a major shift in how higher education is delivered and experienced. Today’s special bonus episode features a conversation with Hsiao-Yun Chu, Ph.D., a college professor, mom of two young children, and longtime listener of the podcast. She shares her thoughts with Sarah on how virtual learning and virtual teaching created some real positives in higher education this year, and even what she hopes will continue after the pandemic is behind us. Enjoy!

| 0:00.0 | Hi, I'm Sarah and I'm Megan. We're two moms with eight kids between us from |
| 0:05.2 | little to grown. We're in different areas of the country and in different stages |
| 0:09.0 | of life, but we both know that motherhood's a lot easier when real moms share |
| 0:12.7 | tips and encouragement. And remind you that it's really all gonna be okay. We're |
| 0:16.6 | not experts. We're parents who've been there. We're not perfect. We're real. |
| 0:19.9 | Welcome to the mom hour. |
| 0:23.0 | Hi everyone, Sarah here. Happy Friday. Hope everybody had a great week. When you |
| 0:28.3 | listen to this, Megan and I will actually be hanging out together in person. We're |
| 0:32.8 | so excited. So I am recording this ahead of time so that I can enjoy our time |
| 0:36.9 | together. If you listened to last Friday's Voices episode, you heard me talk to |
| 0:41.3 | Kelly Hilts, who's a kindergarten teacher from Massachusetts. And we've already |
| 0:44.9 | heard from a lot of you who said you really needed that episode. But we also know |
| 0:48.9 | that many of you have kids who are now well beyond kindergarten and whose |
| 0:52.4 | educational path COVID affected really differently than it did the younger |
| 0:55.8 | elementary schoolers. So this bonus episode came about with some lucky timing. |
| 1:00.4 | A longtime listener named Shaoyun Chu reached out to Megan and me with an |
| 1:04.4 | episode suggestion about what learning has been like at the college level this |
| 1:08.0 | past year and what she's observed about college students learning as they |
| 1:11.4 | prepare to come back to campus in the fall. So I thought this would make a really |
| 1:14.9 | cool compliment to our kindergarten themed episode from last Friday. Almost |
| 1:19.1 | to look at the pandemic implications on learning this year from two totally |
