In July 1944, after two years in claustrophobic hiding from her Nazi persecutors, the 15-year-old Anne Frank wrote, ‘When I look up at the sky, I somehow feel that everything will change for the better… In the meantime, I must hold on to my ideals. Perhaps the day will come when I’ll be able to realize them!’ Following the D-Day landings the previous month, her hopes were soaring that the Netherlands would soon be liberated. Anne was already planning her life beyond the hiding place, when she would ‘go out into the world and make a difference’. 

In a post-pandemic world, many of the things we would have only ever considered doing in-person, we now do without thinking online. We are all now so much more open to a combined online/in-person approach to practically every aspect of our lives that it has become normal to us, and the education environment is no exception.
