In these times, when stress & anxiety are easily present in us adults, think about what the kids must be experiencing? Although they have their hands full with #digitallearning and school assignments but they too need a break.
Here are a few ways to keep your kids entertained -

Let us admit, amidst all the uncertainty of these current times, our children are the silent heroes. They have been deprived of a normal life. With no outdoor playtime and meeting their friends, they have been confined to indoors for all this while.

Parents, students, and #teachers should continue to communicate and collaborate for newer #learning approaches. That’s how we will be able to transform ourselves digitally and usher in a new era of higher efficiency and #Productivity.😇

Once we overcome the #COVID19 crisis, children will go back to their physical classrooms 👩‍🏫, but “remote everything” trend will sustain, and the importance of #edtech will continue to grow. 👨🏼‍🏫💻

One such global favorite is #MicrosoftTeams, the hero product of the Microsoft portfolio which is a digital hub that brings conversations, content, assignments,&apps together in one place, letting #educators create vibrant learning environments and build collaborative classrooms.

We learn from every crisis we face & the #COVID19 situation is no different. The #lockdown & #socialdistancing have made #remotelearning the new normal. & with #digitalclassrooms replacing physical classrooms around the world, e-learning tools have literally saved the day. 😎

🔹Limiting classroom timing to three days in a week to allow deep cleaning of school premises
🔹Analyze and follow the best practices in various countries
🔹Continuing #onlineclasses until the threat is over
🔹Continue classes with strict #socialdistancing & other safety measures

[Rawan Alatassi @rawan_alatassi]

If schools really open soon, I believe these are some changes we can expect in the classrooms -
🔹Classes may continue on a rotation basis where #remotelearning #classroomlearning are blended
🔹Reducing number of students in the classrooms by dividing them into separate batches

They are monitoring international research in the matter and learning from schools in countries like China, Hongkong, UK, and the Netherlands where regular school operations have resumed under strict hygiene protocols.

Virtual learning at home or real learning in the school classroom? 🧐
Schools in the UAE are preparing a variety of plans for a post #COVID19 reopening, with many schools expecting operations to resume by Sept but many still balancing the risks involved.
