I am an online teacher (not due to COVID) who teaches from home. I also did student counseling online in 2021 (due to COVID - usually done in school). Can I claim laptop?

Laptop not normally an allowable expense but added for 2021. I am licensed teacher hired by school district. Part of job is always online (do from home)

Yes, If you were an eligible educator and eligible, you can claim up to $1,000 of eligible supplies expenses.

Teaching supplies like consumable supplies and prescribed durable goods do include

laptop, desktop, and tablet computers, provided that none of these items are made available to the eligible educator by their employer for use outside of the classroom

For more information, please see the Canada Agency Revenue (CRA) link as Eligible educator school supply tax credit
