OPINION: For online students, the challenges of pandemic learning are nothing new
Everyone is anxiously awaiting the end of the COVID-19 pandemic. Once it is over, businesses can fully reopen, families can be reunited and friends can spend time with each other once more. The pandemic has taken its toll on everyone, but college students have been particularly hard hit. Many had to leave their dorms, fly home and adjust to online learning for the first time ever when schools closed. Students who had never taken classes online before found it frustrating and inconvenient. Fortunately for these students, they will be able to return to in-person classes when the pandemic is over. However, not all students will be going back to campus. RELATED: Campus Conversations: Thoughts on online class There are many of us, including myself, who have never even set foot on campus. We are the online student community, the actual online student community. Since before the pandemic hit, we have been online learning from afar - in the shadows if you will.

High School Football in 2020? These States Began Laying Down Their Laws
The largest school district in Texas this week said it will delay in-person classes for the first six weeks of the fall semester, and that extracurricular activities would also be postponed while classes are held online. That means no football, probably, for the giant Houston Independent School District—the seventh-largest school district in the country. The recent surge in COVID-19 cases has states across the country voicing their own varying opinions on how to handle the upcoming school year, while also dealing with the fact of whether or not high school football will be played, delayed or canceled altogether. It's a decision already made by some states, like New Mexico and Virginia, that have already declared there will be no sports this fall. Pennsylvania has suspended sports through the fall. But for states like Florida, Texas, California and others across the Sun Belt that are rich in preps football tradition, the decision may come down to a last-second Hail Mary. High … [Read more...] about High School Football in 2020? These States Began Laying Down Their Laws
Two more succumb to COVID-19 in US, New York declares state of emergency
REUTERS: Two more people succumbed to the novel coronavirus in Washington state, officials said on Saturday (Mar 7), bringing the nationwide toll to 19, while the number of confirmed cases in New York jumped by 21 overnight and a cruise ship with infected passengers remained stranded outside San Francisco. More than half of all US states have reported cases of the coronavirus, which originated in China last year and causes the sometimes deadly respiratory illness COVID-19. As the outbreak takes root, daily life has become increasingly disrupted, with concerts and conferences canceled and universities telling students to stay home and take classes online. The two latest deaths were in Washington's King County, the hardest hit area in the United States after the virus spread among residents at a nursing facility in the Seattle suburb of Kirkland. A team of health workers from the US Public Health Service arrived at the beleaguered LifeCare nursing home on Saturday. The first deaths … [Read more...] about Two more succumb to COVID-19 in US, New York declares state of emergency
What is ‘social distancing’ and how to do it right
On Sunday (Mar 15), the Centers for Disease Control and Prevention recommended against any gatherings of 50 or more people over the next eight weeks, in an effort to contain the coronavirus pandemic. Many public schools, libraries, universities, places of worship, and sporting and cultural institutions have also shut down for at least the next few weeks. These measures are an attempt to enforce distance between people, a proven way to slow pandemics. Experts have also been urging people to practise voluntary “social distancing.” The term has been trending on Twitter, with even President Trump endorsing it on Saturday. Still, people all over the United States have been out in large numbers at restaurants, bars and even sporting events, suggesting more than a little confusion around what social distancing is and who should be practising it. This is deeply worrying, experts said, because even those who become only mildly ill – and maybe even those who never even know they are … [Read more...] about What is ‘social distancing’ and how to do it right
