Education: Before vs. During COVID-19
How the pandemic changed the way we learn
Before: The Morning Routine
We went to school buildings physically every day.
Riding the bus or walking with friends was normal.
No masks or social distancing required.
Before: In-Person Learning
Learning happened face-to-face inside a classroom.
Paper textbooks and handouts.
Teachers wrote on whiteboards or chalkboards.
Technology was just 'extra' help, not the main tool.
Before: Socializing & Activities
Recess and lunch were time to hang out.
Group projects were done sitting close together.
Sports and clubs met directly after school.
Then COVID-19 Hit...
Schools closed their doors and everything paused.
During: Online Learning
Classrooms moved to video calls.
We used platforms like Google Meet and Zoom daily.
All assignments became digital.
New Tools & Challenges
Technology became ESSENTIAL, not supplementary.
Virtual classrooms replaced physical desks.
Common phrases: "You're on mute!" or "My wifi is lagging."
During: Hybrid & Safety
When we did go out, rules changed:
Masks Required
Social Distancing
Hybrid Schedules
