"My ﬁrst weeks of online classes have been hard because it’s difﬁcult to stay on task with all the work we are being assigned by teachers. The work isn’t necessarily hard but ﬁguring out how to use the different websites and when a new assignment has been posted takes a while. I am getting better at this as I go just like my classmates but sometimes I’ll miss some assignments I didn’t realize were due."

"Something I ﬁnd really special about my school is that we are really focused on student-centered learning. We use a Harkness-style teaching method where all the students and the teacher sit at a round table together and instead of learning through lecturing, we learn from each other. Peer-to-peer interaction is a really pivotal part of education at my school, and it feels like it falls so short in our distance learning. We use Zoom and can see one another and our teacher, but everyone is always muted so as not to interfere with background noise. We only have three or four classes synchronously. I feel like my education is not being fulﬁlled."

"Everyday my motivation to do my work decreases and recently all my assignments have been turned in late causing my grades to drop. It has also been very difﬁcult because I’ve had to become my seven-year-old brother’s teacher. My parents aren’t very ﬂuent in English, so they aren’t able to help him with his schoolwork. It’s very challenging to keep up with both his work and my work at the same time."

I support multilingual learners, and I am noticing that some of them are having an especially hard time keeping up in some of their lessons. There isn't enough collaboration among teachers, so there are too many assignments due on the same day.

In a virtual classroom despite several tools there is a lack for spontaneous responses. Students have to wait to answer, they raise a hand and have to wait for the teacher to give them an opportunity to be able to answer. The wait period is longer than an ordinary classroom, hence students might not feel motivated to answer. This results in less amount of doubt sharing.
