Classroom Engagement
Closing Comments
One of the biggest challenges was the harsh
winter this year, where temperatures dipped to
-50 degrees Celsius. Because of this, it was
challenging to get students to class. Another
challenge was student participation in these
sessions.
Many of the students had their learning heavily
affected by COVID-19. Consequently, the students
were far too shy to join the conversation and
lacked confidence. Therefore, as a teacher, I had
to step up to probe questions during these
sessions. Even our School Lead supported the
momentum with his thoughtful participation.
The strategies I use after each live session are enhancing and reinforcing the
topic, connecting with real cases, and providing opportunities for small-group
and whole-class discussion under my leadership. I thank Connected North for
helping my students learn, as well as helping me learn how to make lessons
more engaging.
My students were excited before, during,
and after Ovila's session. This is because
my students are more artistic and are
eager to learn information about how to
start their own online business.
