Distance learning
By: Sihana Koçinaj
Distance learning has aroused my curiosity since early childhood. I have heard it as an expression in my family. In my family, from my brother and parents, I also received the first explanations about this modern learning method. I have even dreamed of realizing some of my interests in the future through distance learning.
I never thought that a virus that is shaking the planet would so suddenly impose this way of learning on me so vigorously. Fortunately, I am very prepared to face this challenge. Not a single day have I felt the slightest discomfort from either the virus or distance learning. On the contrary, from the first days of classes I have focused on the advantages of this type of learning: The use of technology, the warm family environment, working with friends with group connections, presenting examples, projects through TV, the new approach to learning as a new incentive for students, etc.
The main advantage that I have from this lesson is the very good use of time. I am convinced that every day I benefit from one to two hours of free time, because from studying at school, every day I lose time going back and forth from home to school and from school to home. Here I count the time for preparation and the road in both directions. With distance learning, I seem to save this time to the maximum.
Another advantage that I am experiencing these days is the new way of working. It always seems to me that with this learning method we are better prepared for the challenges that await us in the future with contemporary teaching methods. However, we should not forget the fact that this way of learning also prepares us to face other difficulties or dangers similar to Corona that may arise in the future.
I also see as an advantage the fact that after any setbacks in lessons, I can find the lesson I need in the RTK archive.
This way, I orient myself accurately and keep up with work and scientific research.
I also see a valuable advantage for myself in the fact that this teaching method leaves me very independent, independence which I need quite often. However, I invest this independence in lessons and extracurricular activities. I can illustrate this with the fact that in addition to the curriculum I followed and all the assignments I had, I also invested in my passion - in painting and literature.
During this time, I completed two portraits of two English personalities, great friends of Albania and Albanians. I also wrote several poems, among which I single out the poem “THE UNWANTED CORONA”, which I am also describing in this essay.
UNWANTED CORONA
Corona my corona, on our planet
You jump and twist like a bride with a crown,
You have always been an uninvited virus,
But, don't touch my health today.
Albanians call you "the crown virus"
That's what they call you in other languages too
In the dance of death, I shake my handkerchief,
But be careful, my lady, summer is coming.
The sun will give you a devastating kiss.
And according to the canon, we will take revenge,
The earth and the sky will be washed with soap
The Bible and the Quran demand blood for blood.
Aunt science is making a vaccine for you,
He works day and night, and the scientist uncle,
You who brought the pandemic to humanity,
You are unwanted here.
Finally, I emphasize that the main benefit of the distance learning I am currently undertaking is preserving my health, my family's, and the collective health.
Therefore:
#stay home, stay healthy!
# develop distance learning!
