Back to school – at home/在家開學


【摘要2020.4.12.自由】茅毅
A sense of excitement and anxiety was missing from the classroom on the first day of the new spring semester.
在(南韓)新的春季學期第一天(譯按:自3月延至49日),開學的興奮感和焦慮感卻從教室裡消失無蹤。
Middle school English teacher Yoon Suk-joon, 58, was all alone as lessons began, with no students around. He greeted his students in a virtual classroom, with a laptop, headset and projector. Some 45 students clicked on a link via Google Classroom, to check in for a 45-minute interactive live class.
58歲的國中英語教師尹錫俊(譯音)在開始上課時獨自一人,四周沒有任何學生。他在一間虛擬教室,藉由一台筆記型電腦、耳機麥克風與一部投影機,跟自己的學生打招呼。約45名學生透過「Google雲端教室」,用滑鼠點選一個連結,以簽到一堂長45分鐘的互動直播課程。
Educators are inexperienced in holding classes online, and smart devices and internet connections are not equally available for all schools and students. Neither can all parents afford to supervise their children taking online classes at home.
(南韓的)教育工作者缺乏遠距教學的經驗,各校及每位學生可用的智慧型設備和網際網路連線亦不相同。也不是所有學生的家長,都抽得出時間去監督子女在家上線上課程。
