Sometimes, Jorge Manolo Villarroel is Spiderman. Sometimes, he’s the Flash, or the Green Lantern. But he’s always a teacher -- one who lives out his childhood dreams by dressing up as superheroes for the students in La Paz who attend his virtual classes.

Art teacher Jorge Manolo Villarroel, wearing a Spider-Man costume, teaches an online class from his home, amid the new coronavirus pandemic in La Paz, Bolivia, Tuesday, June 9, 2020. Villarroel, who lives in a poor neighborhood of the capital, teaches art at the San Ignacio Catholic School in a wealthier area of the city.

His classes have become so popular that siblings fight for the laptop screen to learn from this costumed teacher. They, in turn, often offer him tech help. “Hey teacher! You have to anchor the image ... Go to the screen of your cellphone and look for a small one,” a student told Villarroel; the teacher, dressed as the Flash, explained to his youngest students how to put together a mosaic of geometric figures using colored leaves.
