Thank you for a very insightful discussion. That was an eye opener to try and get a head start this opening of classes. ❤

Was listening to this while preparing a two sets of quiz for my students (see how learning takes place while multi-tasking 😁). I was refreshed from the discussion about how teaching in the 21st should be. But aside from the teaching approach, strategies, and methodologies, it is also important to consider the socio-economic background of students which is crucial for the students to learn because some of them specially in the public school are alienated and we as educators must find ways to detach them from it in order to embrace and love life-long learning.
