Education Continuity in Support of Technology

The world halts teaching and learning to concentrate on health during pandemic outbreaks, but doing so for an extended period of time can be painful for both teachers and students. As Abraham Lincoln advocated for education to be “the most important subject we as people may engage in,” so we never want to stop educating the next generation. One of the worst experiences in a teacher’s life is having to deal with the crisis of stopping the students’ learning.

The teachers come up with inventive ways to carry on teaching despite outbreaks occurring outside in order to make learning accessible. There were tutorials and teacher check-ins. To facilitate one-on-one or teacher-and-class interaction on lesson delivery between teachers and other learners during extended absence of face-to-face learning, a variety of modality with technologies were explored.

Teachers can communicate with students who are at home via phone or video conferencing to hold group and individual discussions and impart lessons. Social media is used frequently by teachers, for reaching out learners, to communicate essential information about lessons, uploads of self-learning modules, and other matters persistence to education.

In addition to using the Internet, Radio Based Instruction and television stations were used to transmit lessons and information to students from areas where they lack the resources and gadgets that can meet their needs. Course segments were recorded using digital audio recorders and shared to Facebook file-sharing or a podcast.

Time passes, and COVID-19’s lasting effects on the educational system are still felt by everyone in society, from students to teachers globally. Despite this, we continued to value education and work hard even after the crisis. Technology benefits us in a variety of ways.
