Anisha James is a grade 12 student at Westmount Charter School in Chestermere, Alberta, Canada. She attended grade 11 and 12 classes in school and online during the COVID pandemic. Here are the experiences she shared with Palette under our Learning and Teaching During COVID series.
Here are some of the things she disapproves of:
“I struggled mostly with procrastination and finding the motivation to stay on top of my learning and schoolwork. The growth of these issues still continues to dampen my workflow a bit but establishing a routine/schedule and planning out my work has helped me.”
These are some things that were valuable to Anisha that happened during the pandemic:
“Extra time to sleep, eat, and do work, as well as being in the comfort of my own home and not having to face the social and general anxiety that I did at school.”
Here are the technologies she used for her online school:
“Laptop, headphones, Google Meets”
