As a parent I would like to say a word of appreciation for the immense effort schools did to adapt abruptly to the online school, continuing to support and provide classes to our children.
However, a few of the challenges I encountered as a parent and as a professional were:
– Guaranteeing all children to the opportunity of accessing online school, which for younger children in need of more support (from parents who are working at the same time and/or mono-parental families) and families with lower income and less access to the internet and digital tools was even more challenging.
– Adapting suitable methods of teaching and learning and providing training to our teachers. Teaching a group of 25 students in a classroom is completely different from a setting where the child is sitting at home in front of the computer. The type of teaching and learning must be adapted to that reality.
– Creating suitable learning materials and contents for online education (different from the ones that are suiting the reality of a classroom).
– Guaranteeing online safety for all children who are spending more time online, across the different online platforms and social media.
