With more than 1.1 million K-12 students, New York City’s public schools are dealing with the impact of the coronavirus pandemic on a massive scale. While district officials scramble to close the technology gap and get computers to students who need them, teachers are getting a crash course in the “do's and don’ts” of remote instruction.

And what are story ideas for education reporters in the short-term and in the coming months?
