Online/remote learning stories & moments

The perks of online learning are:
- not wearing school uniform
- listening to music whenever you want :D
- eating during class
- your teacher showing you their pets/kids

But nothing compares to actually going to school :( (I miss it so much!)

It doesn't feel like school and I certainly don't feel motivated - I'm still in holiday mode. Usually, I feel motivated once school starts and I have a proper regime, but I don't have that anymore and being at home all the time makes me feel claustrophobic. Oh well, I'll just have to drag myself to do work. I also wonder how our prac-based SACs are going to work out... VCAA has made no announcements about how they (+ other SACs) should be run; indicative of their own uncertainty about what to do in this situation, so I can't expect teachers to know what to do :P

Similar to this, virtual backgrounds were fun at first but they just got too distracting. I kept changing my backgrounds during lectures and workshops and I would ask people about their backgrounds too. Everyone's definitely stopped using the virtual background option.

Also- you know how Zoom displays your name next to your video? I usually have my camera on so that I am forced to pay attention in class. I (sometimes) go on my phone when I'm bored but just have it off screen so that it's not suspicious (really bad habit- I've turned off my phone for every single lecture and workshop now) The guest speaker (for some reason) always pick me to share my thoughts about the lecture and what I've learnt (out of all 60+ students). This has happened to me twice now. I've managed to answer their question and share my thoughts with everyone. From that point on, I realised that I should really get off my phone because I'll miss out on important information.
