Teaching and Learning Issues During the COVID-19 Pandemic
If the pandemic has contributed anything, it has drawn attention to the long-standing discrepancies between urban and rural communities. Due to a lack of technology/up-to-date technology, a lack of teacher familiarity with technology, limited digital resources, and a lack of financial resources, many school districts have failed to quickly shift to a digital teaching paradigm. Underfunded districts and children are suffering as a result of the pandemic. As a result of the transition to the digital classroom, several issues have emerged: students have been given technology and internet access, yet many do not know how to use it. This is alarming since schools are supposed to teach 21st-century skills, but many underfunded schools have failed to do so, as evidenced by the lack of digital literacy among their students. It’s something that all of us, parents, families, and communities, must work on together, and as a result, we must all be patient with one another for this to work and for our children to have what they require.
@Joan Tipones, teachers' familiarity in using the technology, and lack of financial resources are some of the blocks that affect us in adopting this new normal way of delivering instruction. Stable internet connection is another factor for us and not all students have internet access and gadgets. But we have to move on and think of other ways to ensure that our students are learning. After all, our students' needs are our top priority.
Yes, I agree with this statement because during this pandemic many schools are affected because the schools is not ready to implement the distance learning because of lack of trainings using the technology. but the teacher never to stop to learn how to used the technology using distance learning and also the Department of Education promotes different program to make the distance learning effective. as of now the teacher and students already adjusted using the distance learning but it is not enough to fulfill the needs of the students.
