A Day in the Life of Online Learning--COVID19

3/2/2020

I thought I'd update my blog and let you know what's going on in my part of the world. If you follow me on social media, you probably already know. Our school has been closed by the government for 1 week due to coronavirus. We are now starting week 2. And the government just announced schools will be closed through 3/23. God help us all!  At the time of this writing, there are 4,335 cases in Korea with 26 deaths. Every hour the number rises.


My day has now given over to online learning or schooling. Since I teach kindergarten, I rewrite my lessons for the parents to teach to their children. I video myself teaching at least 1 lesson every day. I upload videos, worksheets, all assignments to an online platform called Class Dojo. Students work from home and upload their assignments to their online portfolio. Writing lessons in a new way, working with parents, videoing, checking assignments--it's more time consuming than regular teaching. My teenage children receive their instruction through Google Hangouts and Google Classroom etc... They are online from 9 - 3:30 with a break for lunch. We are not the only country doing this. Most countries in Asia are now doing online school. Some have been doing it since January! 

Can we go out? Sure, but on our own risk. We wear a mask wherever we go, but as they say, the best protection is washing hands with soap & warm water. There are 5 cases in my big city, most of the cases are in the southern part of Korea. Many times throughout the day, the government sends emergency alert text messages telling us if someone in the area just became infected and what stores and places to avoid. 

Because the government says not to have assemblies, we even had online church, live streaming. It's easy to get downcast, having to stay inside all the time. But we have to remember, God is greater than the coronavirus! Pastor shared the popular verse, Isaiah 40:31 "but those who hope in the Lord will renew their strength, they will soar on wings like eagles; they will run and not grow weary, they will walk and not be faint." Be like an eagle and soar above the storm! Whatever your "storm" is today, rise above it and just keep writing!

Thanks for this insight, Tina. I'm glad that you and your family are healthy, despite all the disruption to your lives. I won't be surprised if San Francisco moves to Google classroom soon. The virus is just starting to present in this area. And our SCBWI regional conference is scheduled for Mar 13-15. Not sure yet what is going to happen there. Take care!

That's quite a bit for all of you to handle, Tina. I can't imagine how difficult it is for you. But as you've pointed out, we have a big God who is working behind the scene to make it all come together for good. Saying a prayer for safety and strength right now!🙏🏼

Thank you for sharing your update amidst those challenging times. It's disheartening to hear about the extended school closures and the impact of the coronavirus in Korea. Your dedication to adapting to online teaching and reaching out to parents reflects a commendable effort to ensure continuity in education despite the circumstances.
