Teaching and Learning in pandemic times...

# data[].attributes.body
This has been a great challenge for all of us, teachers, students and families! In Portugal, as in all the other countries, schools had to reorganize all their work, contents and criteria to meet this challenge. Learning through TV has come back from the 80's for the younger students! But in all classes there is a certian amount of online classes/syncronous classes, while most tasks are developed autonomously. As we are a strictly vocational school, the challenge is enormous and teachers had to reinvent themselves! There is still a lot to do, but we know that we are on the right track, keeping ourselves safe, doing our best with the conditions we have. My son Pedro is also totally on home-schooling until the end of thi school year... Because of that I will also be on tele-working while he is home... Stay safe!!

Since the situation i start my day at 8 o'clock  with a breakfast.  After breakfast I do the tasks we got from school .At noon , I usually go shopping for my grandparents who don't have to leave the house.  When I get back from shopping I usually go for a walk with a friend.  In the evening I make video calls with my friends .

This is how we spend this difficult time for all of us:

I usually start my day at around 8 o´clock in the morning with breakfast. Immediately after that I login to my PC to check if there is any new homework to do. Sometimes I finish them instantly, but most of the time I do them in the evening at around 6 pm. After that I talk to my friends and watch videos with them, or we play videogames. My family is grocery shopping for my grandparents, so that they do not have to leave the house and go to crowded places. Since the start of the pandemic I started doing chores more frequently and I am convinced that I will keep doing them after the lockdown. In general, I´d say that the lockdown did not hit me hard, as I spend most of my time at my desk anyways, but this time I also safe lifes. On May 6th we had our first online meeting with our English teacher, and we planned on doing online lessons starting on May 11th, in case the lockdown does not end. Since there is no school the next day, I stay up till 2 o´clock watching videos or playing games. I have a lot more time to learn for my exams, I can not complain! I also try to learn new so called “soft skills”, like image editing.
As suggested by my english teacher, I attached a picture of the place where I spend most of my time at the moment. Stay healthy!

Since Corona started I have to structure my days different than before COVID-19. I get up later than when I have to go to school and after that I do some exercises for school. In the afternoon I often meet my best friend and we go for a walk in the forest. Sometimes we also watch movies or meet each other in online conversations on skype.

Living, teaching and learning in times of pandemic...

March 17 began a new era in my life...

In the first week, fear dominated every second of my day... fear of failure... fear of the unknown... fear of uncertainty...

The second week, I was so excited... I had learned so much in such a short time...

I already dominated the online platform, already surpassed computer obstacles alone, I was so proud!...and suddenly, the second term was over…It was the right time to do the right plan, because the online teaching was only starting…

Now, every day is a new challenge…

Every day, I thank you for having my students, for them and with them, I find the reasons to continue…When I motivate them to accept the circumstances, I’m motivating myself…

I miss the noise, I miss a classroom full of young people asking twenty questions at the same time…I miss the spontaneous hugs…I miss the tears of failure and the tears of  pride…but…I know I can´t fail because, on the other side of the screen, so many are counting on me and if they know that I’ll be there for them, I´m being the teacher they need me to be in times of pandemic…

Since this whole situation began, I feel like my work routine doubled, in the morning I follow my lessons online, and in the afternoon usually I used to work until 5 or 6, but now I'm working 2 to 8 everyday and I'm feeling like the only one who is not "enjoying" the quarantine like everyone else, and when I'm not using the computer to study or work, I work on a personal project... which basically means that I'm always working when I'm not studying.

Sometimes It may happen that our daily routine can be altered by unexpected events like our current situation.
Covid-19 is a hard challenge but thankfully technology is helping us to keep in touch and do online lessons.
I spend many hours of my morning following the videolessons until lunchtime, then I turn off my computer.
After lunch, I wash the dishes and watch TV.
My afternoon routine is not really defined:
every day I workout to keep myself in shape, I often spend some time in videocall with my friends and sometimes we also sing together.
I also play videogames or create some items made with Pyssla.
In the evening me and my family have dinner while we watch La Tata, a pretty TV show.
After dinner I wash the dishes and I go to bed a bit early, around 10 PM o'clock.
These are two of my Pyssla's creations:

My schedule is usually composed as follows:
Depending on what time the lecture begins, I get up early in the morning. I like having breakfast and then get dressed in order to be ready to join my classmates. I often have lesson for the rest of the morning, at least for three hours a day. Once I'm finished I can relax having lunch with my family. During the afternoon I do some physical activity, especially joggin, to avoid beign too sedentary. After I'm done done with my homework I watch the telly, if I have some spare time. In the evening I early doze off early after dinner.

In the morning I get up at half-past 7 to do a video lesson every day until at 1 o'clock pm. After lunch I relax with watching videos on youtube or playing videogames with my friends, In the afternoon I start to study until evening, during the study I'm having a snack. Finished studying I listen to music or play videogames with my friends or I chat with my girlfriend. After dinner or I stay online with my girlfriend or stay with my friends. At half-past ten, I go to bed.

I spend my time doing homework and playing video games, nothing more.

The COVID-19 Pandemic has not changed my routine as much as I thought It would. Thankfully I have a rather repetitive routine, which has definitely helped me dealing with this odd situation. Most of the day, other than doing homework and following the scheduled video lessons, I chat online with some overseas friends and have fun with some games. I help with house chores and occasionally go outside in my private property, which, thankfully, is very big and allows me to take a breath of fresh air whenever I want. That's honestly just about it, and I'm glad I'm doing alright.

Since the coronavirus pandemic started, my routine has totally changed: in the morning I connect to the video lessons with my class and teachers until lunchtime, in the afternoon I play video games with my friends and after I do my homework. In the late afternoon I train to keep fit or watch TV series on Netflix, then I have dinner and then I get comfortable on the bed and start watching TV series again.

Since the quarantine began, I always do the same daily routine.In the morning I do video lessons with my class after finishing the videolesson and having lunch,I rest playing videogames with my friends, after that I do my homework; after I do gym at home and after having dinner I meet with my friends for a videoreference or to play online.

Since the pandemic started my days are divided into 3 parts:
1- In the morning I follow the online video lessons on the computer.
2- In the afternoon I do my homework and, alternating the days, I train at home.

3- In the evening I play video games with my friends or watch videos on youtube.

I have read all the whole HarryPotter's saga since the quarantine has started. I also spend the morning doing videolessons and I often use my computer to do my homework during the afternoon. Sometimes I like to post some dance videos on Instagram where I dance to help people enjoy this moment and I make video calls with my friends because I miss them so much in this time!
