Virtual Learning?
I think there are a lot of pros and cons when it comes to virtual learning, because we can achieve a lot online or anything could go wrong. Virtual learning is very difficult to have a great time, because of there are many factors that play into virtual learning. I’ve been on the blunt end of virtual learning, since I share my internet with a lot of people at my school, and when there are a lot of people doing the same virtual learning I am, the internet just doesn’t like to work. If I’m lucky enough to stay in a zoom call, I will only get to hear about 20% of what anyone says. It has also been a problem with me participating in class, the internet has a funny way of perfectly timing whenever I get asked a question my zoom freezes. That has happened at least 5 times in a week, sometimes it really gets on my nerve. The problem with online learning is that there is so many factors that are out of your control, you can’t control the amount of people on the wifi when its also them who are trying to use the wifi for online learning. I can’t control if the teacher of the class also has an internet problem, there have been a couple classes where I haven’t been able to see a class because the teacher didn’t have any internet to host the class. A couple of my teachers share the same wifi with me cause they also live on campus so they are very aware of how poor the internet is at school. While most of the problems have occurred because the internet was bad, there is also the chance that you can have electronic failure. With a virtual learning taking place all over the world you can lose electricity from natural disasters which can take weeks to recover from.
