As being a classroom teacher then, now online help guide my select and lucky angels, well, everyday hurdle may be tough, challenging and, sometimes, taxing towards the psyche. Yes, not every my learners are capable to coping up simply because would not have the needed technology like android cellphone, iPad, desktop, laptop or any sexual educational tools some of the lucky few have.



Well, in the said situation, I, for just one, think that parents could take a step worthwhile for his or her kids' education by exerting all efforts to have a functional cellphone befitting a web-based class. However, you will find varied reasons why some parents don't have a chance to provide their children such as a result of poverty, joblessness, insufficient education or motivation maintaining current trends in education build and delivery of learning especially this COVID-19 pandemic.

Anyway, there are advantages and disadvantages of online learning, especially for blended learning, for the kids and fogeys alike.

PROS

1. Kids can now have plenty of time navigating the several applications around so as to getting lessons absorbed, used in their daily grind.

2. Parents is able to see how their kiddos are utilizing their learning time. They may help them budget their time to be able to do all task accessible sans getting other tasks left out. Teachers, at all like me, are sending home guide because of their students, in the role of reference, because of their subjects to become taken for any specific time, with a variety of minutes included.

3. Kids can instruct their skills in utilizing the internet, say in researching to get a story to see, a photo to write down an essay on, and details of important events ever sold especially during holidays as well as other commemorative exercises in Social Science subjects, to note one.

4. Parents have the time to aid their children making use of their task in reading and writing, likewise the issues their children encountering in numeracy, science and the like.

5. Kids also have time being more talkative looking at their camera or what while answering questions, sharing stories and other activities where speaking may be the target especially how they go to town, with confidence without the in the flesh interactions.

6. Parents, mostly, contain the possiblity to learn too, kind of using a review of their previous schooling; obviously, with updated info where irrelevant ones had been changed to correct one, particularly with Science subjects, say number of planets, and the like.

7. Kids also have an opportunity to become world citizens learning everything online of products and collaborating with learners around the world. Yes, teachers should have a buddy teacher from another country, say a Science class in the Philippines co-learning with Science class in USA regarding the different landscapes during winter, and, of course the sunny weather within the Philippines. With videos, photos and so on, both learners of these two countries could practice a lot from each slide presentation shared through Google Meet, Zoom meeting, among other technological tools suitable for this purpose.

CONS

1. Youngsters with no reliable connection to the internet remain behind with regards to learning online. However, with modules available around; well, all people have the opportunity to educate yourself on the concepts, samples and deep learning once a conscientious teacher implements enrichment or remediation programs if you're wanting those. Yes, creativity is key toward providing all the learning the opportunity to kids facing technological challenges in online learning. In addition to lacking those gadgets like android cellphone, lappie or desktop, internet load also gets to be a hindrance, for who can afford such when parents are jobless, in dire poverty and you know what.

2. Parents suffer stress much more when their children could not keep pace with their peers, neighbors competing with their kids, and also other scenarios about unequal opportunities, a tragic reality majority within my class is associated with it wherein preserving the Juans is not possible to accomplish.

3. Kids, people who find themselves enterprising and all sorts of, make use of online cheating. Yes, you will find there's group chat where strategies to modules are now being uploaded and a lazy bone will undoubtedly copy paste those and viola, have the perfect score, the recognition later as with highest honors etc. Oh my, this sorry state of education is actually a training ground for future leaders who won't do sane things but to self-aggrandizement, and the like.



There you go. If you be free of such challenges, you happen to be fortunate coping on top of these challenges, and would emerge victorious having continuity of learning amid this trying time. However, grit, resiliency and perseverance, could be our saving grace when facing these glaring realities. Regardless of what challenges are in our way toward teaching/learning journey, we have been always expecting the best result through good effort. Keep head high, always. Keep safe, sane along with a saint. Cheers!
