From Hands-on to Cameras On
Students Discuss Adjustments for Interactive Classes
Whether they have chosen to attend school in person or online, students have had to adjust to the new learning style that comes with each. Some classes have an easier time adapting to new regulations and schooling options. However, for classes that are more interactive and hands-on, present and future lesson plans are more uncertain. In classes such as culinary, theatre and art, activities can either be more difficult or easier for online students depending on the resources available. Similarly, new rules and regulations have impacted the classroom environment for students attending in person.
