So last week was our first real week of online learning (with our first week being orientation), so I figured for my first blog post of the year I decided to give my thoughts on it. So this year is my first real year in school while having a kind-of block schedule, let me explain, so on Mondays and Thursdays we have 1st, 3rd, 5th, and 7th period live classes and on Tuesdays and Fridays we have the rest of our classes. Now we don't have any live classes on "Wellness Wednesdays" which is where teachers can assign work but can't have zoom calls. This has been so great where we can just get all of our work done in the morning and then just have the rest of the day to myself to relax and recharge for the next day. But for normal school days We have an hour call then we have an hour support period where teachers are available to help students but its just for us to get our work done for that class. Now I actually really like this because depending on how fast I get my work done I can just chill until my next call similar to Wednesdays. Now one of my big issues these past weeks has been having to go on and do our attendance manually which to me has just been a pain in the butt just going and filling out 7 google forms per day but I understand why the teachers have to do it. I do feel like teachers this year have been put in a really difficult position, having to teach a course that is mean't to be taught in a classroom but I do feel like they have been doing the best they can with what resources they have. A note on the resources we have, canvas is a little bit annoying, I remember on one of the first days of class zoom was overloaded because student all across the country pretty much overloaded the app so teachers had to find a work-around for that. Overall I thing that these things are going to definitely take some getting used too but I think that I will be able to adjust just fine.
