[arctic-hands]

I meant it when I said it's fucking hilarious that ableds couldn't stand living two years the way disabled and sick people are forced to live our entire lives. I BEGGED for most of my school years to have access to a webcam and just do my learning virtually, and was told it wasn't feasible. So instead I was forced to go school every day in pain, severely sick from Crohn's, immunocompromised and constantly getting sick because parents would send their kids to school with colds or the flu, and I was forced to go to school while contagious because I had already used up my sick days by the time cold season came around.

But the VERY MOMENT ableds were at risk of contagion the world ground to a halt and offered virtually learning. And you all were so self entitled that you couldn't be happy with it. Things had changed and you couldn't stand it. You were inconvenienced, and so you complained the things that were enacted for YOUR protection. And now those protections are gone and people are still dying.

I was forced out of school for being too sick to attend. I was ruining their precious attendance records and Truancy was breathing down my neck. It seemed better to just drop out than risk arrest.

Now there are kids just as vulnerable as me who cannot attend school because they're too much at risk from #covid and the virtual options and the mask mandates are now gone. They have to sacrifice their educations to save their lives, because YOU were too selfish and privileged to realize how relatively good you had it for two years.

Online Learning

Online learning has become increasingly popular in recent years. It offers many benefits over traditional classroom learning, such as flexibility, convenience, and accessibility. However, online learning can also be challenging, especially when it comes to engagement and interaction. That’s where online discussion groups come in.

Kids Learning Network

Online discussion groups are a great way to create a virtual learning community. They can help students connect with each other, share ideas, and learn from each other. This is especially important for kids learning online, as they may feel isolated and disconnected from their peers.

Here are some benefits of online discussion groups for kids learning online:

Collaborative learning: Online discussion groups can help kids learn collaboratively. When they work with others, they can share ideas, brainstorm, and solve problems together. This can help them develop critical thinking skills and improve their ability to work in a team.

Social interaction: Online discussion groups can provide kids with social interaction. They can connect with other students who are interested in the same subjects as them. This can help them feel less isolated and more connected to their peers.

Engagement: Online discussion groups can help kids stay engaged with the material. When they participate in discussions, they are more likely to stay focused and motivated.

Learning Platforms

There are many online learning platforms that offer online discussion groups. Here are some of the most popular ones:

Google Classroom: Google Classroom is a free web service developed by Google for schools that aims to simplify creating, distributing, and grading assignments in a paperless way. It also allows teachers to create online discussion groups.

Edmodo: Edmodo is a social learning platform for teachers, students, and parents. It provides a safe and easy way for teachers and students to connect and collaborate, share content, and access homework, grades, and school notices.

Canvas: Canvas is a learning management system that makes teaching and learning easier for everyone. It provides teachers with a platform to create online courses, assignments, and discussions.

Conclusion

In conclusion, online discussion groups are a great way to create an engaging virtual learning experience. They can help students connect with each other, share ideas, and learn collaboratively. With the help of Explain Learning and other online learning platforms, you can create a virtual learning environment that fosters collaboration, critical thinking, and engagement. Good luck with your studies!

I'm so fucking shocked at the lack of etiquette and courtesy of people sometimes. We have the last two classes of the semester this afternoon, one in class and one with a professor who's in another country, so virtual, but the classes are back to back and we connect with the classroom's computer.

First, only half the class showed up for the first class, with the professor in the room. And then, the second class? There's only 3 of us left, the other 15 people just fucking left as soon as the first class was over, even though the other one would start in 10 minutes, saying "oh, I'm going home and get online from there".

Bitch, what? What's the difference??? You're already here, if you're going to follow the class anyway, why would you just... Leave? You can also pretend to listen to the prof while doing something else here in the classroom?? I am seriously appalled at this lack of courtesy to the professor and your fellow students.

#rapha talks #university #virtual learning #i'm genuinely shocked #might be because my mother is a teacher so i've always been very attentive to my teachers' being actual people and how much work they do #but seriously. i already had a very low opinion of some of my classmates but it's getting even lower #(and of course of the other 2 people staying one is the oldest student (38) and the other one is my new bestie)

i’m so angry but also grateful that virtual learning did not take off more than it did once society started to reopen. when i was in college (2021) i was in a really bad car accident and missed a lot of school and it was extremely convenient for my professors and i to virtually call during class time every day so i didn’t fall too far behind in my studies. but at the same time i believe know that had virtual learning been recognized as a viable daily option or learning accommodation for students, the educational systems currently in place would have weaponized it. teachers on maternity leave having to teach from home, students being told their illness isn’t “bad enough” to justify not logging on that day, counting kids tardy because their internet connection is unstable, etc.

quizizz's memes are no longer user generated and are now a set of 62 (23 wrong, 39 right) images all created using imgflip

link to wrong meme 23: https://cf.quizizz.com/join/img/wrong_meme/wm23.jpg?w=600&h=600

link to right meme 39: https://cf.quizizz.com/join/img/correct_meme/cm39.jpg?w=600&h=600

all one needs to do to access any number is change the "23" and "39" to other numbers.

notes:

it counts up like a human would.

also, there are no leading zeroes. wrong meme 0 is "wm0" instead of "wm00"
