Is anyone opting for online schooling, during this global pandemic ?
In summary, online school during a global pandemic involves students accessing classes and assignments remotely through online platforms. It can be just as effective as traditional in-person schooling with proper support and resources. Strategies for staying motivated and engaged include setting a schedule and actively participating in virtual class discussions. Online school can also provide opportunities for virtual socialization, but there may be challenges with lack of in-person interaction. Many schools and organizations offer resources and support for students, such as virtual counseling and technology assistance. Students should reach out to their teachers and school administrators for any additional support they may need.
