Covid is a deadly disease which spreads quickly from one person to another. It makes a person lazy and ill and of course nobody would like that.  So it is our utmost duty to prevent the spread of this disease and avoid getting infected or infecting others. But what shall we do? Shall we stop living life as we know it? No more trips to the mall? No more social gatherings? No more school? Well children don’t get so excited because we’ve got the solution for that right here.

‘Hybrid Lessons’. A very interesting term in itself indeed. Hybrid lessons have been invented by the education sector to ensure that all children keep getting taught and the teachers keep teaching all the while remaining safe in this pandemic. You see hybrid, like the word suggests, is actually a mixture of the traditional and conventional teaching methods with that of the modern era. So students get to choose their own mode of learning depending on their preferences. If a student prefers they may learn online and if they like they can attend lessons in person. Now Hybrid learning is not like blended learning, because hybrid learning has aspects like video conferencing and a proper learning management system.

So here are some tips to make the hybrid learning system far more successful. First the teacher must provide a positive learning environment so that even if the student opts for online lessons it’s not because they are afraid of interacting with the teacher in person. Secondly, make sure that students get a chance to effectively engage with their class fellows and teachers. And lastly the students (especially those online) should ensure that they remain focused and attentive throughout the lesson being delivered.

A very flexible, affordable and efficient invention in these hard times, the hybrid system makes learning and teaching convenient for all. So a special shout out to the dedicated teachers who provide quality education to their students and a well done to the students who efficiently attend these classes.

After completing my LLB degree I became an English language teacher in Beaconhouse School System. I’ve always had a passion for writing. Back in my school days I took part in many essay competitions. I adore the idea of having a quite work space and write extensive essays and blogs to share my thoughts with the world. I’ve also written articles for the Herald Tribune newspaper. I hope you do enjoy my blogs and that you’ll keep reading them. :)
