Distance learning is a
new experience for both teachers and students. It may be challenging and
demanding sometimes, but teachers always try their best to make it delightful
and beneficial.
Although my online teaching experience of fall 2020 was enjoyable, it was tough at the same time.
This experience enriched my skills and allowed me to use many new platforms. I
enjoyed learning about these new tools to facilitate my work during remote
teaching. It was an excellent opportunity to expand my knowledge, develop my
skills, add to my expertise, and stay updated on the latest online teaching
strategies. Besides, it was great to sit at my own pace, sometimes wearing my
pajamas and drinking my coffee while delivering my lessons.
However, it was
challenging as I had to regularly find new methods to explain the lessons and
keep my students engaged, which was not easy. I struggled to keep
boredom away and make them enjoy the sessions. It cost an arm and a leg to find
new activities, new platforms, and new resources. Moreover, the poor internet
connection caused me frustration and devastation.
In short, I miss
being with my students and interacting with them. I miss their laughs,
curiosity, and even their misbehaving sometimes. I would do anything to go back
to my school.
Loved your blog. Very interesting
