Google Doodle on Monday honors teachers who have already been unsung heroes before classrooms across the country are closed to protect students and monitor distribution the corona virus. Those teachers who quickly put their classrooms and curricula online only highlight the superhuman efforts that trainers make to raise their students.

Google created the doodle for the launch on May 4th Teacher recognition weekin collaboration with 54 state teachers of the year who visited the Google campus in February.

Google Doodle illustration artist Kevin Laughlin said he was inspired to meet the teachers when he was working on the doodle. “I know from my own experience how positive a teacher can have on a young person’s life,” he said. “I cannot express how happy I am to have had the opportunity to be part of the Teacher Appreciation project this year.”

Google said search interest “how to thank a teacher“tripled last month as students and parents looked for ways to show their appreciation for their educators.
