Through intermittent surveys taken since the inception of the distance learning program, we asked teachers and students how the distance learning technology affected instruction. Teachers were candid in their responses, looking for the positive, and suggesting methods that may improve a continually changing medium. Among the comments were the following:

	I would prefer different teaching options other than standing in one place.
	More training on hardware/troubleshooting tips needed.
	More time needed to prepare lessons.
	Having only one distant site, I was able to keep all the class sites on camera most of the time.
	The DL TA duties were much more enjoyable than previous possible TA assignments.
	Duties are different but not harder.
	Teachers need to come to the receiving sites more.
	I loved the moderators (distance learning teacher assistants).
	Support from school system and DL staff made instruction very doable.
	Interdepartmental mail proved unreliable.
	Students didn't take advantage of using e-mail.
	I am more aware of the way I come across to my students.
	You must make an effort to contact your distance students.
	Be prepared for flexibility.
	Preparation beforehand is key.
