They’re missing in video calls and SMS, so a day of online meetings doesn’t necessarily create meaningful connections.”<\/p>\n<\/blockquote>\n During social distancing, as technology fills the void of face-to-face interaction, it’s important to make it meaningful. If group quizzes aren’t your thing, avoid them.
