Speaking of the experience, Antoinette said: "Although virtual learning has posed some challenges, it has also presented interesting and positive opportunities. One of these is the possibility of collaborating with other classes and teachers across time zones and distance. It is interesting for us as teachers and also for the students to meet a different teacher for a few lessons."
Sumeya also said this new era of teaching has invited various opportunities of teamwork, while ensuring the continuity of creativity.
"It’s all about working together," Sumeya said. "I have been planning some lessons with Ms. Antoinette and she participated in the Zoom class with me to help facilitate some drawing activities which have been successful. With all of the students online, the extra help has been welcomed. It was interesting to see the continuity of promoting creativity even though being online. I see this as an opportunity for students to embrace new ideas by interacting with teachers from other academies and use technology as a tool to not only communicate, but to also create art."
