11. Classes during Corona




coronavirus


Caroline was sitting before the computer. It was morning time and instead of getting ready and going to school, she was attending the virtual class. Her teacher came on the screen and began the day’s lesson with the help of a video. 


Oh! How much did she miss her school; meeting her friends every day; playing and enjoying candies with them was so much fun.


She did not understand the reasons for this great change in lifestyle. Her parents, Margaret and Jason told her about a disease named Corona spreading all over because of which the schools were closed. They were also working from home on their computers. 




Her Papa told her about this method of schooling as e-learning. He told her all about it and how it saved her from the disease which was killing millions of people all over the globe. The little children and the old people were to be protected the most and remaining at home was the only solution for them. 

Caroline began to understand it now. Her papa told her all about this way of schooling. He said:

Why attend these Online Classes

Her papa told her the benefits of these classes

  • You are able to continue your studies even without having to go to the school during these difficult times and are, thus, saved from the pandemic disease.

  • You can attend the school in the comfort of your home.

  • You can also chat with your friends as in school, during the breaks and even exchange notes, if you need any.

  • The online tests are as good as the regular ones. You can check your knowledge from these tests.

What do you need to do

1. Be prepared beforehand. If your classes start early, keep your books, notebooks, stationery the night before. 

2.  Sit before your computer or mobile just like your regular class, punctually. Your teacher will be on the screen because we have an internet connection and use the Zoom platform. Take your classes as in school maintaining discipline. 

3. Don’t keep changing your place of study daily. Sit down at your study table only. I and your Mumma will not disturb you during this time. It will help you save time and form a proper habit.

3. Interaction with the teacher- Listen to the teacher attentively. Try to write down as she teaches and answer her questions as you would in school. 

4. Be agile and motivated in the class as in the school.

5. Fix your breakfast and mealtime and don't keep munching during the classes.

Takeaway

Caroline hated being sick and understood that the Online classes were the only way to save her from being affected by the pandemic. She also appreciated the tips given by her Papa. She became attentive, serious, and motivated again as if being in regular school. She knew this to be a long-time experience for not only her but the children all over.
