In the majority part of Europe it is a problem that all schools are closed because they don't have an appropriate equipment to give lessons via internet in video conferences.
I was very surprised when I heard from my son that in Amsterdam, Toby my 9 year old grandson uses Dad's old laptop to practicise and learned very quickly how to use it to attend virtual classes of his school.
Three times a week the class and the teacher are united on the screen and she gives lessons. The children are then given homework to do.
The parents put them in the School's mailbox and the teacher picks them up from there. I think this is a very good method, but probably impossible to practicise on the countryside or in little villages.
I think once the Coronavirus crisis is over, we all will have learned a lot and will see many things in another way. We will realize what is really important in our lives and what not. The world will turn completely different. How, nobody knows, as it is the first time in history that we are all sitting in the same boat, not only one or two countries or two parts of the world, this time the whole world is concerned and the whole population lives under the general lockdown.

Dad also works from home ! So they are both in his office and work together !

We hope you are managing okay, Gattina. Sasha the cat and I are in isolation in Adelaide South Australia. I believe you are right in that the world will not be the same again. But even if we deal with this crisis, the climate change problem is still looming and won't go away. Take care and keep safe.
ReplyDeleteI think you are right the world will never be the same again. I am hoping the changes will be for the better. Take care and stay safe.
ReplyDeleteYour grandson is very smart. Everything going on is so unusual but looks like he is managing well :-) Stay safe xo
ReplyDeleteI like the picture of your handsome son and his sweet, clever boy.
ReplyDelete"...Once the Coronavirus crisis is over..." .Well, we're unfortunately not close yet to this ending.
Most Australian students are doing the same. My 12 year old niece gets half an hour each week of one on one time with a teacher using internet. Otherwise, I suppose it is just messaging and emails.
ReplyDeleteI am learn how to more thing with computer since Covid 19
ReplyDeleteI wonder how the Dalton brothers next door do their school work. They are definitely quiet during the day.
ReplyDeleteYes we are all learning to do things differently. It is great that Toby has this opportunity. Nice pic of your son.
ReplyDeleteIt's a very strange world at present and UK is in lockdown for a further three weeks at least. Our government seems to be improvising as it goes along. It has made so many mistakes, fatal for so many!
ReplyDeleteI think some things will certainly continue to be done differently after all this is over.
ReplyDeleteYes, these are strange times indeed. All three of us are at home all day, working or following lessons. It's good that we can do so but I long to be able to roam free again.
ReplyDeleteA couple of good looking young men there., ))It’s really nice they can work together in their home office! Under the circumstances, they are doing very well it looks like. And you too I think!
