  Leaning Online

  Social distancing has brought many changes to my life but none as great as school online. At first, when we went online for school we didn't think that it wouldn't last very long and we hadn't planned that far ahead. At first, learning online was great we could get up five minutes before class started, so we got to sleep longer, also if we finished all our assignments for a class we could leave early. Also during break, we were at home so we could do what we wanted during that time. However, after a while it began to get old, not seeing friends being at home the entire time, and just a day after day of the same thing, it began to get old. Although online learning had both its benefits and negatives it was necessary to slow the spread of covid and minimize the risk.

  Virtual

  The computer represents us virtually learning. Virtual learning was definitely a challenge, not being able for the teacher to observe our work was a free gap for us not to do it. I think a lot of students thought that. I think it would be better if all my classes were like Spanish. In Spanish we had to stay off mute and engage the whole time, the only thing I didn't like about this was staying the whole 1hr 20min. The benefits was I didnt have to wake up at 7:00 every morning at be drove to school. Also being able to automatically be home after school was also a upside.

  Online Learning

  Virtual school was not all bad. I got to wake up an hour later and participate in school in my pajamas. However, the numerous hours spent in my room, staring at a screen quickly became dissipating. Work piled up and motivation was scarce. I did get used to it after about six months but it still was not pleasant. I procrastinated to the extreme, I did not pay attention in class, I spent more time in my bed than ever. I did not realize how much I missed school in person until I came back.

  Learning Virtual

  During the COVID 19 Pandemic, we were not around to go to school. So we had to do online school over zoom. Online school had some pros and cons. So pros are getting to sleep in, getting to eat in class, and wearing pajamas in class. Some cons are you don't get to see your friends, you aren't able to meet new friends, you can't ask question very easily over zoom, you aren't able to see everyones face very easily and many more. I think that Oaks did an amazing job on Virtual Online Learning. We actually had attendance, we had on person days on Wednesday, we didn't have to wear a uniform, and many more. Overall, Oaks did an amazing job with Virtual Learning and it was a very cool experience too have.

  Virtual learning

  During the crazy year of 2020, we weren't allowed to have school in person. Instead, we had to learn remotely. There was both benifits and obstacles in this time. Some of the benifits were that we didn't have to wake up early, or go to different periods, because everything was one click away. Although there were some benifits, there were also difficulties. Some of them included no socializing, technology could sometimes fail, and we didn't have the same tools that we had in the classroom. Overall, this year has been a great change, and I think that we haver to start getting used to a different life.

  COVID-19: Virtual Learning

  School was one of the many things that came as a halt during COVID-19. At first, we all thought that COVID-19 would be a nice 2 week vacation. I thought that it would be an escape. However after hundreds of days on zooms, things began to be too boring. 8I would wake up at 7:59 sharp. Exactly one minute before class. Without brushing my har or washing my face I quickly opened my laptop which was on my brand new white desk that I added to my room in order to do zooms. Often times my wifi would go out and in and my family would yell as we glitched out of our period. Then I had a break and I would eat a breakfast of a microwavable frozen Costco sandwich. Then I would go to period 2 and begin my next zoom, then another. Then it was lunch and I would be starving during the long day of staring blankly at a computer screen. Finally I had period 4. Although often difficult, online school did have its' benefits. It was nice to be able to do school from the comfort of my own desk (sometimes bed), sleep in later, and eat during class. But it was very difficult to focus.

  Virtual Learning

  I absolutely loathed virtual learning. I would wake up minutes before class started to get up from my bed, slap some clothes on last minute, and listen to class half asleep. I didn't really learn anything at all. The information would stay with me one day, then leave the next day. Learning Math and Chinese were excruciatingly terrible. I couldn't pay attention at all, and all of a sudden the teacher would ask a question and I would sit there not knowing the answer. While online school was the worst possible thing that school has done to me, there were a few pros to it. I could sleep in between classes, eat during class, watch tv during class. I could leave early, I didn't have to try as much. I liked online school when it was first announced in March until around May. Summer happened and we went back to online learning. I would have so many distractions that I couldn't get any homework done... The homework. The homework was one of the worst things about it if not the worst. They would give us mass amounts of work and then have the nerve to say "Have a nice weekend!", knowing good and well that I'd be doing work the whole time. It probably wasn't as much as I thought it was, but it sure seemed like a lot. The only thing I learned from online school was "Turn in assignments by 11:59 pm". So overall, the online school was terrible, nothing good came from it.

  Virtual learning

  Online school, it was terrible. It is the worst way to do school. It may sound good, you don’t have to wake up, sleep in, and chill. But with that comes a price. You were not engaged in class and you felt numb to homework or getting bad grades. It was so boring and miserable that I didn’t care what was assigned, what my grades where, or about the final. It was so bad and I think it was a tool to cancel our opinions and voice. Cancel culture is what this whole COVID thing is.

  Remote Learning

  Remote learning was very hard. I had to sit in front of a computer for 6 hours straight on zoom. The learning was hard and turning things in online was hard and also not seeing anyone. The few benefits were that I didn't have to get changed for school or wake up super early but other than that it was really hard.

  Remote Learning [DUPLICATE]

  Every morning I woke up just 20 minutes before class. That would give me enough time to get out of bed, brush my teeth, eat breakfast, and get ready for school. At each lunch or break period is when I would see and talk to my family. During class, I would often get distracted or lose concentration from learning. This would make it hard for me to do my assignments or answer questions in class. Procrastinating was a big challenge for me during virtual learning. I would mostly do all of my assignments at the last minute, this was because I really did not enjoy virtual learning. After school I would just practice soccer or play video games since I had no motivation to do my homework. In class it got very boring for sitting in my room half of the day and not really moving around much. I did not enjoy online learning a lot since it was a very hard time.

  virtual learning

  when I started virtual learning I thought it was just for a little but after 2 weeks of it I found out we were going to finish the year this way. on a regular day of virtual learning I would wake up at 7:40, when I used to wake up at 6:00 because I didn't need to take a 30 mile drive to school so from that I would have an extra 20 min and it took less time to get ready because I wasn't in person. after waking up, i would then have breakfast which was usually just bowl of cereal and a piece of bread. after eating I would log onto zoom. some times the power went out when I was in school because of the electrical lines so I would miss that whole day of school. I good thing is I could go strait from school to hanging with friends in my neighborhood because I didn't need to be in the car.

  Remote Learning

  My personal experience while learning remotely was pretty tough. I mean it was hard to stay focused with all the distracting of your room. I guess the good part was you could wake up 5 minutes before school and open your laptop and school was right there. And you wouldn't have to wait in line for your parents to pick you up or anything. But I did miss my friends a lot and I am happy to see them now.

  Learning Remotely during COVID

  Online learning has not been the easiest thing for me. I would prefer to do school off the screen instead, mainly because I learn better when I write things down on paper, and I am on the screen for many other extra curricular activities. Other obstacles about online school is that I always have internet problems so might miss something important in class or I cant do my homework when the internet is down so I have to wait for it to work again. Some benefits for me of learning virtually are that you can wear comfortable cloths to school instead of a uniform and I can wake up later to go to school because I don't have to drive there. My school is a 30 minute drive from my house so I get to sleep for an extra 30 minutes or more. My school has opened again but I am not allowed to go until the vaccine comes out. So I will probably be doing remote learning for a little while longer.

  My 2020 Online School Expierence

  Almost my whole 2020 was in online school. I would wake up later in the morning, have breakfast, brush my teeth, and start school from my room. It was much easier than in-person. I would be on Zoom most of the day, and stay on my computer after school to do homework. Most of my day is in my room. There were some benefits to this, however. I could go do something right after school instead of having to drive home and all that. It was easier because everything was on the computer. But I didn't like it too much because I didn't get to see my friends and I just like being in-person more. Overall, you get used to it after a while, but I still prefer in-person school. It wasn't really that bad, it just could be boring.

  Remote Learning

  The year started out like any other. We were all in class together enjoying to company of friends and teachers. We had hear of a disease spreading on China but nobody was even worried about it. The disease began to spread more and more into the world, and eventually, in the the USA. One the Corona Virus had reached the United States it started to become a more serious problem. But it wasn't untill we had our own cases in LA and Vetura county that things really changed. On March 15, 2020 we started our romote learning. It was a big change we had to get used to. It was mostly downsides but there were some upsides aswell. One of the upsides was we had more freedome in what we could do durring our breaks. When we were in school we only had a selection of activities to do, but since we were home we could do many different things that weren't at school. Another upside is that we didn't have to spend the time driving so we could wake up later and get to doing our activities earlier after the school day ended. That was pretty much it for the upsides however and now we must talk of the downsides. W weren't able to see any of our friends from school anymore! That was a bummer because it made me feel distant and disconected fro the society at school. Another downside was that it was alot harder to understand things in class. We had to make sure we found the assignments online instead of just being handed then=m in class with direct instruction. This factor made it hard for me sometimes to understand what was due the next day and what we had to do for homework. These are the biggest downsides, but there are many more I haven't mentioned in this single article.

  Virtual learning

  Learning virtually was very strange and had many advantages and disadvantages. Every day I got on zoom from my bedroom from March 18 to about December with the exception of summer. Some advantages about it were that I didn't have to wake up as early to drive to school and that I can do school from the comfort of my room. Some disadvantages however were I couldn't hang out with my friends or talk very much, and I personally found it really hard to pay attention because each period was about an hour and 20 min on the computer and my grades weren't as good because I had a hard time not zoning out. And on top of that nearly everything was closed down from restaurants to malls and other places to hang out, exc. I prefer learning in class than virtually because I can hang out with my friends and I pay attention better in school.

  Virtual Learning

  Every day I woke up at about 7:45 am and school started at 8 am. I brushed my hair and brushed my teeth, put a sweatshirt on, and joined my zoom class. The benefits of this online learning were that I could get up a lot later than I normally would have for in-person school. I usually wake up at 6:45 am for in-person school. I also got to leave classes early when I finished my assignment and it was very nice. All of my assignments were usually finished by 3 pm that day. I had lots of problems with wifi though and it wouldn't let me access tests/quizzes and homework assignments. Also whenever I used OneNote, it deleted all of the work that I had written in.

  virtual learning

  This year because of covid most of the students had to do virtual learning. I personally love doing online school, because I'm a lazy person. When you wake up everyday, you only need to open up your computer and login on to zoom. But for regular school I had to wake up at 6 every single day because I live far away from my school, this isn’t fun at all. And another thing l love for online school is that you can eat during classes and on one will see it, at school if you got caught eating during class, you will definitely get in trouble.

  Virtual Learning

  For my routine, I would usually wake up about 5 minutes before class had actually started. Between classes I just laid on my bed, doing whatever on my computer like games, youtube, but never homework until the next class. Then at lunch I would go downstairs to eat whatever was ready or anything my dad or mom had gotten. Eating lunch would usually take me about 15 minutes and then afterwards I went back upstairs to take a nap for the remainder of the time. Everything felt so slow and so boring and I felt like I wasted my time. The benefits of virtual learning are only not having to wake up at 6:30 and being able to stay home. The cons were it was boring, I had no motivation for anything, and probably just everything mentally and emotionally sucked. I just did whatever I was supposed to, and then maybe baseball practice after school. That was mostly all I did.
