Not long ago, the Corona virus entered our lives and changed them completely.
In a connected world like ours, social distance wasn’t really an option and now it is becoming a vital way to keep us safe.
When looking on education, although the use of EdTech and digital devices is constantly growing, frontal classroom experience remains the most common in schools, teachers teach in front of a classroom full of students, have a discussion in class, walk around the classroom and see what students are doing, give time for self-practice and assist during that time, and give homework.
In this new reality when schools remain closed for a long time and distance learning is being adopted, adjustments need to be made!
You can’t expect students to learn only from assignments given by teachers, and the ones to teach will be the parents. Video conference tools like Zoom, Hangouts, Teams and others can not replace the in-class experience a teacher is used to. This is not a university one-sided “lecture” and not a conference call in a polite corporate environment.
The internet is full of testimonials from frustrated parents saying that the concept of remote self-paced learning should be revisited, as they can’t be expected to work remotely and also tutor their children.
The same applies to frustrated teachers that are used to have full visibility of the classroom.
This is where EdTech and technology in general needs to get into the picture.
At this difficult time, it is important to stay safe and keep a daily routine, especially for our children.
As a leading global EdTech provider, we are aware of the importance to keep schools functioning in a distance learning mode and allow teachers to teach and communicate with their students.
