Virtual learning by no means can be a
replacement for classroom learning. But it can be used effectively to enhance
the learning process. Due to the lockdown, many schools and colleges have
started online classes but things like understanding the concepts, clearing
doubts, interaction with the teacher are not possible in online classes.
The
environment of a classroom is quite different and it itself makes learning
effective. But as something is better than nothing, it’s good to have virtual
classes in this period. Covid-19 is a pandemic which has turned the world upside
down and it will take time for things to be normal again. It is not possible for
the government to find a substitute for all the normal lifestyle activities
which we were involved in.
Virtual learning is a good substitute to classroom
learning. It’s true that it may not clear our doubts completely and we won’t be
able to interact with our teachers and professors. However, to avoid the lag in
our lives in terms of education and to save the time, virtual learning is the
only solution. It will help students to get back on track once we get out of
this pandemic. Learning should never stop and technology is the best channel for
that. Although the school year may sometimes get tough, we believe that learning
should not stop.
We hopes to continue studying until things go back to how they
we were again.
Despite the challenges that this school year’s new normal poses,
children across the country show willingness and excitement in continuing their
education, DepEd says.
With safety and learning continuity in mind, DepEd says
the academic community, parents and the local government units continue to work
together to make sure every child’s right to learning is fulfilled.
