There are several issues that have been resolved. Watching students use the site in my classroom has brought on many of these changes, but some are just me wanting to tinker around. The most significant changes center around students using touch screens on their 11.6\u201d Chromebooks. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Other changes have to do with scrolling of panels and creating a vertical split screen mode for modern, relatively large, smarty phones and\/or tablets. As always, I am a one teacher shop that can only test on the devices that teachers can afford. So hopefully the new design works for your students. If not, the old version will be hosted here for the time being. <a rel=\"noreferrer noopener\" href=\"https:\/\/geteach.com\/back2020.html\" target=\"_blank\">https:\/\/geteach.com\/back2020.html<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"twenty20-2\" class=\"twenty20\" style=\"width: 100% !important; clear: both;\"><div class=\"twentytwenty-container twenty20-2 t20-hover\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/geteach.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/newbutton.jpg\" alt=\"Before image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/geteach.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/oldbutton.jpg\" alt=\"After image\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Swipe above image: New larger and on-hover highlighted buttons<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"twenty20-3\" class=\"twenty20\" style=\"width: 100% !important; clear: both;\"><div class=\"twentytwenty-container twenty20-3 t20-hover\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/geteach.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/newMapSelectMenu.jpg\" alt=\"Before image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/geteach.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/oldMapSelectMenu.jpg\" alt=\"After image\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Swipe above image:<\/em><\/strong> <strong><em>&#8220;Select Map&#8221; menu has been reworked to better fit smaller screens<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"twenty20-4\" class=\"twenty20\" style=\"width: 100% !important; clear: both;\"><div class=\"twentytwenty-container twenty20-4 t20-hover\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/geteach.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/newStreetviewClose.jpg\" alt=\"Before image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/geteach.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/oldStreetview.jpg\" alt=\"After image\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Swipe above image:<\/em><\/strong> <strong><em>Close Streetview icon added to panel&#8217;s header<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"twenty20-5\" class=\"twenty20\" style=\"width: 100% !important; clear: both;\"><div class=\"twentytwenty-container twenty20-5 t20-hover\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/geteach.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/scrollbars.jpg\" alt=\"Before image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/geteach.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/scrollbarsOld.jpg\" alt=\"After image\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Swipe above image:<\/em><\/strong> <strong><em>Added scrollbars to each panel to accommodate smaller screen sizes<\/em><\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n<div id=\"twenty20-6\" class=\"twenty20\" style=\"width: 100% !important; clear: both;\"><div class=\"twentytwenty-container twenty20-6 t20-hover\"><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/geteach.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/scrollbars2.jpg\" alt=\"Before image\" \/><img decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/geteach.com\/blog\/wp-content\/uploads\/2021\/06\/scrollbarsOld2.jpg\" alt=\"After image\" \/><\/div><\/div>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"has-text-align-center\"><strong><em>Swipe above image:<\/em><\/strong> <strong><em>The importance of scroll bars.
