Abstract	Though there has been debate regarding the effectiveness of online teaching and learning as compared to face-to-face or in-person modalities, the online experience has gained credence and momentum (Brenneman and Karpman 2020). The COVID-19 pandemic and its resultant global lockdown warranted the closing of schools and the adoption of online teaching and learning (Zhao 2020). Online learning has become a critical option for continuous education; however, many teachers and students were unprepared for the abrupt shift from in-person teaching and learning to a fully digital and online environment, and this shift resulted in many challenges. Challenges indicated by the literature for online learning include lack of access to technology tools and skills (Beaunoyer, Dupéré, and Guitton 2020; Brenneman and Karpman 2020), creating accessible content that meets the learning needs of all students (Coombs 2010; Bagoly-Simó, Hartmann, and Reinke 2020), feelings of isolation and low morale (Baker and Watson 2014; Chametzky 2021; Elliott 2020; Schultz and DeMers 2020), and building an online community (Ferri, Grifoni, and Guzzo 2020; Vesely, Bloom, and Sherlock 2007). The purpose of this article is to describe the activities from the educational technologies course that the authors redesigned to guide geography teachers in building community in their online courses.
