After almost two weeks of online learning in the books, I have to say- I’m not a fan. The biggest thing for me is the focus aspect of it. How can I learn with all of the distractions in my home; my dog, my phone, going outside, just to name a few. I have found ways to avoid the distractions, for example turning my living room into a “classroom” to hone my focus into school, but it's not perfect.
So how do I stay focused for the remaining two months of school, for it's hard to ignore not just what's in front of you but also the stories in the news. Especially because it seems, just the way things are reported in the news, that everyday is the worst day. Everyday we are told that the numbers are at an all time high, that it couldn’t get worse.
What also distracts me is: what will the world look like when this is all over? Will we be more equipped for something like this in the future? How will it impact schooling as well? Now of course all of these can’t be answered now, but it’s what's on the mind now.
I chuckle when I watch older videos of people saying that we live in “strange times” because now we are really living in strange times. People have to stay far apart now, but I hope that the best thing that comes out of all of this, is that it brings us closer in the long run.
