Environmental factors impact the virtual instruction experience of elementary public school educators in Virginia, including the districts of this study. First, technological factors affect online instruction, including the specific technologies that educators and district administrators implement to delivering educational material and content to their students online. Teachers who are skilled at working in virtual environments, and who enjoy doing so, are more likely to facilitate good learning experiences for their students (Allcoat & von Mühlenen, 2018; Kim, 2020). An additional technological factor is students' lack of equitable access to technology and internet resources, or the digital divide (Leech et al., 2022; Vogels, 2021). Second, social factors may create challenges in online instruction compared to traditional
face-to-face instruction. For example, teachers must learn specific strategies to ensure social presence-student engagement with other students and the instructor-in online formats.

Professor Dr. Johnson, for your Human Sexuality course, I propose "Mapping Intimacy: Sex, Behavior, Outcomes." This book goes beyond the physical act of sex to explore the rich tapestry of human intimacy. It delves into the intricate connections between sexual behavior, emotional connections, and the resulting emotional and physical outcomes.
"Mapping Intimacy" weaves together scientific research, social commentary, and real-life experiences to illuminate the factors that shape intimate encounters. We'll explore how societal expectations, individual preferences, and emotional well-being all influence how we approach and navigate intimacy. The book doesn't stop at behavior - it explores how fulfilling intimate connections can contribute to a sense of overall well-being, while also acknowledging the challenges associated with intimacy. This comprehensive approach makes "Mapping Intimacy" a valuable resource for anyone seeking a deeper understanding of intimacy and its profound impact on our lives.
