As many of us are stuck at home not knowing what’s going on and distancing ourselves from our friends and close family. This is a great opportunity to look back and be thankful for what you have. Remember all the memories and fun (or maybe not so fun) things you did when you were younger. Always have a heart of service and try to help as many people as possible in your own home, or even a fellow neighbor or friend.
Wow! Today marks the end of the first week of online learning! It was a crazy ride. Daniel forgot to mark himself for attendance yesterday. With so many emails and questions and work, I thought we would never see the day, but it was not so bad. we finished early most of the time and we were able to do things after our school work. We hope that you have enjoyed your extended period at home and for students, that school has not been too tough for you. Thank you to all the teachers that have literally spent their whole day making videos, answering questions, and just so much more.
Enjoy your weekend!
So much uncertainty around the world. New norms in our greeting, social distancing, wearing a mask around everywhere you go, working from home and online classes for all elementary to high school students. This was tough for the teachers, students, and parents. Teachers learned and prepared a new way of teaching within days. As students get ready to take up a new challenge, parents wonder how this will all play out.
I have constantly thought about the commitment of teachers to teach their students. Without teachers, they will be no profession. Teachers have once more shown the world their commitment to impact the next generation within days. In this new way of learning, I want to say a big thank you to all teachers.
As I am writing this, I cannot even imagine what we would do without technology. If there was not technology, how would we be able to tell people about coronavirus and share information in real-time? Because of technology, we can still have online classes and schools have a chance to end the day they were meant to. Google Classroom, Zoom, and Skype are just some of the many applications students will be using to learn, the church service was live-streamed on Sunday. It was different but I was grateful we could listen to the sermon.
Technology has solved so many unforeseen challenges, but it also has some challenges which many people are trying to solve. I am overall thankful for all these solutions who ever knew that a virus could plague the world how coronavirus has done.
A new way of learning
As many of you have seen in the news, the COVID-19 virus is spreading like wildfire and has either postponed or completely canceled a lot of major gatherings and sporting events. We just wanted to say that we are praying for every single person that has been affected by this virus. Many schools are switching to online classes and will be out of school for weeks. The good thing is that because of technology, we can still have school and not extend the school year, shortening the summer. I am looking forward to the new way of learning.
We are slowly but surely getting to the end of the school year, I am left with a mixed feeling. This school year has been loaded with lots of excitement, commitment, evaluation, restrategizing, meeting set goals, sometimes not working as planned and suddenly a big break, cheers, celebration and tears!
In building solutions it takes the same process. Every app has a story, a story that needs to be heard, a process that needs to be shared, a revelation needed to inspire and equip another person!
