Back to School and a Pandemic?!
The year 2020 was full of surprises for everyone who lives on planet Earth. The main life changing event was and still is the Coronavirus Pandemic. From wearing a mask when going out to social distancing and from jobs making their workers work from home to schools closing.
As a future educator, I know that this pandemic has a big impact on students learning and for teachers to teach in the classroom more difficult. Schools closing in Spring 2020, was weird and new for parents, teachers, and students. As August approached and the new school year began, everything went virtual in the schools. All the lectures, lessons and assignments were online in some way and made it different for everyone.
I know this pandemic will affect all jobs and businesses for years to come, but I think teachers will have a more drastic change. Schools are full of students and teachers, they are in the buildings for about seven hours and of course no social distancing at all. Therefore, schools will not open at full capacity any time soon. Most students have been learning from their homes on their computers and attending their classes like they normally would.
Graduating in about a year from now, hopefully things will be back to normal but we will not know until the time comes. In the mean time, this pandemic will affect my career in a drastic way that I will have to learn the ways of online schooling and how to interact and teach my students. The same way current teachers are doing. It is an interesting experience, but one that I would not mind being a part of as it still helps students to learn and become successful in their future.
