https://padlet.com/swisboisar/onlinelearning2 How we are coping with internet access, sharing devices, home situation etc...[Please add your own experience wherever you are in the world] en-us 2020-10-16 08:05:41 UTC 2023-01-27 12:00:56 UTC hello@padlet.com swisboisar https://padlet.com/swisboisar/onlinelearning2/wish/835004827 I'm a school leader. I have lots of work to do to make sure on-line learning is successful for our students at St Willibrord International School, Boisar. I'm working from home, just me, so I talk to the gekos sometimes! My broadband internet connection is normally very good but today its been down the whole day. 4G is fairly random and was out the whole day yesterday. I have a desktop, thankfully, as my laptop gave up about a month ago! Electricity can be fairly random so I have a UPS that enables me to shut down my computer properly. 
But all-in-all I'm enjoying the challenge and am learning a lot myself!

It is then absolutely challenging as we are dependent on the internet or our phone network! At times it happens that we have the internet but no power! Having everything available at the needed time is a blessing! Well, this request is added to our daily prayers now! 😆
Overall, it's about living with expectation, right!?]]> 2020-10-16 09:31:46 UTC https://padlet.com/swisboisar/onlinelearning2/wish/835087987 revatit https://padlet.com/swisboisar/onlinelearning2/wish/835121720 As a teacher this pandemic has been a boon to learn and grow technical skills required for effective learning and teaching.
There have been time when i was frustrated with the amount of work I have and maintaining balance between my personal and professional life has been very difficult.
But yes, i have taken it up as a challenge and I'm learning to manage both by organizing my to do list.
Good internet connection has been of great help, thanks to my bro and mom.
As calmness is the cradle of power, I'm keeping myself calm so that I'll be surrounded by good ideas and positive thoughts always.]]> 2020-10-16 09:59:13 UTC https://padlet.com/swisboisar/onlinelearning2/wish/835121720 https://padlet.com/swisboisar/onlinelearning2/wish/835147369 2020-10-16 10:22:04 UTC https://padlet.com/swisboisar/onlinelearning2/wish/835147369 https://padlet.com/swisboisar/onlinelearning2/wish/835154325 2020-10-16 10:27:58 UTC https://padlet.com/swisboisar/onlinelearning2/wish/835154325 https://padlet.com/swisboisar/onlinelearning2/wish/835155459 2020-10-16 10:29:07 UTC https://padlet.com/swisboisar/onlinelearning2/wish/835155459 salonip2 https://padlet.com/swisboisar/onlinelearning2/wish/835160256 The most amazing thing about online learning is the teachers can actually use the best of the tools in the class and show it to kids,as compared to class cause in class there is , say a less usage of internet or no internet access while in class, so showing real time images or sharing real time experiences becomes easier.

It is quite impossible to download or upload my classwork . I have to leave it for nights (when the internet connection is good) to download but there is a mountain which receives internet connection from a tower in the neighbouring state Andhra Pradesh. There I get my downloading and uploading for a week done . It is only a 11min drive from my home . We have to charge our phones and laptops before going because after we get there we only focus on our work and we loose track of time. But it is not always possible to go there since it sometimes get overcrowded there and at this time that is what we dread . I often get tired going up and down the mountain but when I get there I get to see the beautiful scenery .

Time to teach and learn has shortened, time to plan and prep as well as complete assignments has doubled, and the amount of time it takes to adjust to the learning and teaching varies! Some students thrive in this distraction free experience and some cannot as they have 6 siblings at home doing the same thing, with many needs to meet, and 2 dogs, many at home by themselves, trying to work it out!
