It touches on the fact that even before the coronavirus, traditional education standards have recently been challenged by newer generations. Tiktok has only accelerated these changes and given people willing to share their knowledge a platform to do so. This connects to education because Tiktok being an app available internationally in many different languages, means that information can reach people who otherwise wouldn’t be able to access it. It’s important to be aware of this topic because the spread of how useful this app is will bring new attention to it, and attract more teachers/students.

Also, the amount of covid cases is about the same as it was at this time last year. This connects to education because with so many people getting vaccines, we might be seeing a change of rules for schools. More students might be allowed to come in at a time, or vaccines could be required for students if they want to come in. It’s important to be aware so you can know current news about the virus and stay involved. Also, to think about the vaccine, if you want to get it or not.

So we can notice that how the j&j shot is giving people blood clots and certain stuff that could make people pass away it takes a year to make a vaccine not 24 hours not 6 months. It takes a year to make a vaccine so they can do more tests and make sure there is nothing wrong with the vaccine.

They say attendance to scheassure the school will remain open and safe because kids are lower risk to being diagnosed with this virus, however they are high risk of spreading it so if the teachers follow all guidelines they would be fine.

Some experts worry this might only be the start of what's to come in the next weeks. Michigan is already in the middle of a violent surge.'s causing a surge in cases and it's causing more severe disease, which means that even younger people, people in their 30s, 40s and 50s are getting very sick and being hospitalized from this. Florida has the highest number of cases of the variant, followed by Michigan, Minnesota and Massachusetts, according to data from the US Centers for Disease Control and Prevention. Here's why: It takes about two weeks after the Pfizer and Moderna second doses and about two weeks after the Johnson & Johnson vaccine before people are immune. https://www.cnn.com/2021/04/04/us/michigan-rising-covid-cases/index.html bushgjokaisabella https://padlet.com/smithg64/u5fl2k0jt3aaqlv1/wish/1413245888 2021-04-13 17:50:57 UTC https://padlet.com/smithg64/u5fl2k0jt3aaqlv1/wish/1413245888 https://www.cnn.com/videos/world/2021/04/13/who-coronavirus-reality-check-pandemic-van-kerkhove-berman-intv-newday-intl-ldn-vpx.cnn romanserranoashley https://padlet.com/smithg64/u5fl2k0jt3aaqlv1/wish/1413252299 this article is about that we are at a critical moment of the pandemic. ]]> 2021-04-13 17:52:07 UTC https://padlet.com/smithg64/u5fl2k0jt3aaqlv1/wish/1413252299 It was about students' mental health on how online school is going and 57% of kids are not doing as good as if they were in school.

In this plan, the Education Departments budget will grow by about 41%, the Title I funding will almost double, and IDEA, a federal program that supports students with disabilities will increase from $13 billion to $15.5 billion. This connects to education because this budget increase could help students all throughout the US get a better education, and have a more successful future. This is important to know because a lot of people are going to be helped by it, and will help to allow schools to get new resources for their students to work with. ]]> 2021-04-13 17:54:22 UTC https://padlet.com/smithg64/u5fl2k0jt3aaqlv1/wish/1413264202 https://www.nytimes.com/live/2021/04/13/world/johnson-vaccine-blood-clots?action=click&module=Top%20Stories&pgtype=Homepage https://padlet.com/smithg64/u5fl2k0jt3aaqlv1/wish/1413271962 it was about how the johnson & johnson vaccine was causing rare blood clots in recipents and how they put it on pause to see why it was causing these blood clots.

Colleges like Rutgers and Cornell university were among one of the first to announce that this will be a requirement. This connected to education because it shows that this is what is happening with schools and students who want in-person access. It is important for us to be aware about this because the rules are changing and because college is in most of our futures.
