北京市中关村外国语学校疫情期间的网络学习

　　Online Learning during Pandemic

　　by Peter Paul Gabato

　　On March 11, 2019, the World Health Organization declared Covid-19 as pandemic. This resulted to increasing number of schools and universities across the world looking for an alternative education. With the help of technology and internet, online learning became the best  option to offer since teachers and students are in different places of the world fighting for this unseen enemy. The school greatly believe on the importance of education so we can’t afford any delay of important learning to inculcate with the students. This time, the Zhumu (online learning app) is our virtual classroom which is different from the usual setting. This new virtual classroom provides advantages as well as challenges that requires  extra hard work. 

　　Students are used to learning in a typical classroom, so it is very important to remember three qualities to help this online learning successful. These are optimism, self determination and self discipline. Optimism is defined to have confidence about successful outcome of something. This attitude prepares students on achieving their goal. Difficulties may arise but an optimistic student will always be confident to overcome them. Another good attitude is self determination. This is an ability to manage something personally. Since online learning happens at home, the student does every required work independently. With self determination, a student develops her/his own motivation to solve any problem. The third quality mentioned earlier is the self discipline. Learning at home is surrounded with some temptations such as video games, sleep and cellphone. Self discipline is a self control which is a sign of inner strength. This quality helps students overcome the temptations and stick to the Parents play an important role in ensuring the preparedness of their child in this online learning. 

　　The support to their child is a good factor to equip them with motivation and good qualities mentioned above. Parents who support their children is a very good asset of the school as they help in moulding their child with good qualities required to be successful someday.

　　 For about two months, both students and teachers experienced some adjustments. Even teachers had a shift of mindset in order to become optimistic on the different challenges in providing quality education. As a Mathematics teacher, worries came into my mind on the possible outcome of the online learning. Preparing online lessons is a struggle of an online teacher. It consumes a lot of time than the actual teaching. But one goal should be always remembered, educate. 

　　The support of the school’s administration greatly affect the success of the online learning. From organized online meetings to different suggested modern apps, the process becomes much easier to both students and teachers. The constant communication about strengths and weaknesses resulted to a better learning process. With this, surely our ultimate goal for good education will definitely be achieved. 

　　疫情期间的网络学习

　　2019年3月11日，世界卫生组织宣布新型冠状病毒大流行。这也导致世界范围内无数的学校及大学需要寻找新的教育模式。得益于网络技术，在我们对抗这个“无形的敌人”的同时，在线学习也成为了身处异地的老师和学生们最好的选择。北京市中关村外国语学校以教育为重，因此我们也及时带领学生开展了网络学习。通过”瞩目“（一款在线会议视频软件），我们感受到了全新的学习方式带来的益处和挑战。

　　学生们已经习惯于传统的教室上课模式，所以网络学习需要额外提醒学生注意三点：乐观，自觉和自律。乐观是我们对于一件事情的结果抱有积极态度，这种态度能够帮助学生实现目标；而自觉，是一种能够安排好个人生活学习娱乐等各项事情的能力。学生在家进行在线学习，每个人都是独立的自己安排自己的学习生活，自觉性强的学生，则能够应对好在线学习期间的诸多问题；前面提到的第三个重要品质是自律，自律是一种内在自我控制的能力，是一种能够克服诱惑并坚持学习目标的重要品质。在家学习要面临触手可及的电子游戏和手机、以及一些如赖床这样的不良习惯的考验，因此自律也是尤为重要的。

　　家长在学生们准备网络学习的过程中也起到非常重要的作用。家长们要鼓励自己的孩子，给他动力，并帮助他保持乐观，自觉和自律。家长们的这些帮助会使得学校在教育学生时”如虎添翼“， 因为您为孩子塑造的这些优良品质会助力孩子未来的成功。

　　在开启在线学习的两个多月的时间里，学生和老师都经历了一些调整。每位老师为了保证教学质量需要转变观念并积极的应对新的挑战。作为一名数学老师，我最担心的是在线教学的效果。在线授课的备课是一件不轻松的事情，花费的时间也远多于实体教学备课所需要的时间。

　　我校在线学习开展得如此顺利也要感谢行政人员的支持和帮助，从组织线上会议到商讨并试验适合学生和老师们的应用软件，通过一次又一次的商讨比较，最终选出了能让我们顺利学习的平台。正因如此，我坚信我们优质的教学目标定会实现。
