Answers
Covid-19 had a volcanic impact on all of us: learners, parents, teachers and leaders. Overnight homes were transformed into classrooms and schools impelled into a virtual space. The shock waves of that eruption are forcing all of us to embrace a virtually real education world that is plagued by challenges but is rich in opportunity.
The challenges faced by all students everywhere as they navigate this new world are immense – their flexibility and fortitude as they work out how to learn and to live afresh, in this virtual medium are remarkable.
The absence of human interaction and social connectivity – the face-to-face school and social environment provided our children with the opportunity to engage with their classmates, and to sustain friendships outside of school contributing to their welfare and wellbeing. Today, many students find it challenging to sustain social interactions through the virtual mode.
Adapting to a changed home environment as parents and their children work, study and play at home together.
Getting used to the norms of learning in a virtual setting – establishing a daily routine, finding a quiet, undisturbed space for studying, keeping their systems on mute when participating in class, keeping their videos on, and learning how to be even more self-disciplined.
The temptations of virtual distractions – the novelty of being connected online can distract children by prompting them to access other websites while attending their class.
Impact on child’s health – while we monitor the number of hours our children are exposed to ‘screen time’, many children spend more hours outside of the ‘classroom’ engaging with their friends, playing games online, interacting on social media. Such extended hours of screen time can result in various physical problems such as frequent headaches, bad posture and eye strain. Essential family agreements on how to be virtually are important.
Lack of physical exercise – with school occurring virtually and buildings and societies locked down, many children no longer have access to physical exercise in the sports grounds as they did before.
