Back to Home Schooling

The government has extended the MCO to the end of the month. And the school has come up with different ways to conduct classes for the primary children. While Ko-ko's classes remain the same: to be conducted via Microsoft Teams, the same format was introduced to the primary children too.
This morning was spent setting up Mei-mei's email account and password so that she could access MS Teams.
Then classes started at 10,00 am. First class for the day was Geography. We gave you the iPad so that you could attend classes sitting next to us (daddy didn't have any meetings during those times).
It-was-HAVOC!! Haha.. the poor teachers really needed to learn new skills: to conduct a class with so many children and virtually. And also to use the app.
The second class (BM) was a little smoother and this time the other teacher in the class, Miss Louise was stricter and telling children to not talk to each other and keep reminding them to mute themselves when the teacher was talking. There was some hiccups as the teacher tried to show her computer screen and another time when she tried to show a You Tube video.
I'd say it's a good start. You were happy that you could see some of your friend's faces over the video and to hear your teacher's voices too.
Hope it gets better as the days goes by.
