Last quarter of last year classes were suspended. We started working at a distance on our own and gradually we started working toguether.
Fortunately, this year we have the opportunity to attend classes. The number of students for group has been reduced and we have used all the available facilities. Despite this students from 14 to 15 have attended just 2 or 3 out of 5 days a week.

During lockdown teachers used freely different tools such us: mail, moodle, padlet, zoom, You Tube, whiteboard apps...
After that we were given a 'WEBEX' account for our online lessons and 'AULES' (a moodle platform) became the official tool. This course 'WEBEX' is used to broadcast lessons for students who are at home.

- At first it was difficult to get in touch with students who didn't have technological resources. To solve the problem the Mutxamel townhall gave students some tablets with internet access to follow online education.
- Students are alone at home and they don't devote enough time to do the tasks.
- This course, in class, the mask makes difficult the communication. .  Students cannot work in groups. - It has been impossible to do after-school activities.

One of the main problems was the lack of digital resources of the students and the failures in accessing internet.
Another problem was that the weaker students emphasized their fragilities.
The lack of human contact damaged the global social development of the students.

Last year , the schools were closed from March till the end of the school year. We had remote teaching.
At the beginning of this year only courses for 8th grades started in September.After a while,we divided 8th grades into two groups and each group came to school for two days. Noone went to school on Wednesdays because the school was cleaned and prepared for the other group.Then 5th grades started but unfortunately they could come to school only for two weeks.And again we began remote teaching for all grades until February.Now we are still having online teaching.

We have used Whatsapp, Eba and Zoom platforms for remote teaching. Ministry of National Education have distributed tablets for students in need.
During online lessons teachers used many different applications,websites and Web2 tools and interactive textbooks.

The most important problem we encountered was that all of the students couldn't be able to attend online classes because of the lack of technological equipment and internet problems.
The other problem was the unwillingness of the students.It was not easy for them to just sit in front of computers or tablets and listen to the teacher.
Also ,students couldn't be able to have pair work or work in groups.

March 2020 was the first lockdown and schools were closed.Teachers used a digital platforms to sent students material such as online exercises, in order to revise what was already taught.In September our lives went back to being normal but only for a few weeks.Schools began closing during late October and online teaching became mandatory both for teachers and students.Schools opened up in January but unfortunately closed again in March.Our school life was a ROLLECOASTER RIDE and in May finally schools reopened and all students attend classes.

Our schools did not have the choice as to what tools they would  use.The Ministry of Education decided for us!
We used a platform called
E-class and E-me.
Students would enter the platform and find all the information that was passed on from us to them.
Since the beginning of this school year it is compulsory for us to use Webex for our online teaching.Of course we are all using different applications during the lesson
such as :
wordwall
thinglink
padlet  and
interactive books as well.

Students all across the world probably had the exact problems that we can all relate to.
At first many students were lacking the equipment or the knowledge to use it .There were problems with the online systems and often the system would just shut down or there would be a number of technical issues.As time went by students became tired of being stuck in front of a screen for so many hours and showed less and less interrest in their studies.

In class problems, wearing a mask especially during really hot days was and still is a torture.
