Staying focused amidst uncertainties
(The pandemic) … has messed so many (plans) I have lined up for this year. Sometimes I shut out from all the scary rise in number of cases I hear every day.
I spend long hours on call with my close friends and relatives.
(About effects of the pandemic: ) Not much has changed because I was unemployed before the pandemic started.
I just have a simple desk, a laptop computer and an iPad.
I learnt how to use Collaborate Ultra to teach and to receive virtual lectures.
I think it has made virtual learning easier.
(About supporting students:) I make sure I reach out to them via email if I notice a drop in their academic performance.
(About engaging with colleagues:) Most via Zoom and email.
(About new technologies that are helpful:) Microsoft Whiteboard
(About “superpowers” I have that help me cope:) The ability to stay focused in the midst of all the uncertainties.
(About the “new normal”:) Things will not really go back to the way it used to be.
(About preparing for future pandemics:) Invest more into online teaching and learning. There are new opportunities if virtual learning is improved on.
