The Distance Learning Playbook Review

Teaching has been one of the oldest professions and it’s not going into extinction any time soon. Teachers are people that most times reach the heart of any kind regardless of their interest. They know the capabilities and even the flaws of any kid they teach. Even some times the educators might know more about a kid than the parents do.

This will help the children get used to the change that is happening and the one we are looking forward to.

Going to classes, writing notes, giving assignments, conducting tests, and exams in the four walls of a classroom is where most teachers do their teaching.

They can give teachings, assignments, conduct tests, examinations, grade them, and even give out results, all online. Giving access to the administrative and academic services of the institution, the instructors are sure their students can learn and gain effectively even when they are not physically present in schools through distance learning.

Walking from home in the early hours of the morning and staying in school for 8 hours daily can bore the students. Teachers, who have to keep orderliness in classrooms can be a little bit frustrated at times.
