DIFFICULTIES STUDENTS FACED DURING LOCKDOWN
3
INTRODUCTION

• The pandemic and followed up lockdown came
  through like a volcano with a negative impact on
  all of us learners, parents, teachers and
  leaders. Overnight homes were transformed into
  classrooms and schools impelled into a virtual.
  The shock waves of that eruption are forcing all
  of us to embrace a virtually real education world
  that is plagued by challenges but is rich in
  opportunity.

• The absence of human interaction and social
  connectivity the face-to-face school/college and
  social environment provided the children with the
  opportunity to engage with their classmates they
  had at KCE, the best college for Civil
  Engineering in Coimbatore and to sustain
  friendships outside of college contributing to
  their welfare and wellbeing.
• Adapting to a changed home environment as parents
  and their children work, study and play at home
  together.
• Getting used to the norms of learning in a
  virtual setting establishing a daily routine,
  finding a quiet, undisturbed space for studying,
  keeping their systems on mute when participating
  in class, keeping their videos on, and learning
  how to be even more self-disciplined before
  returning to the usual pattern at KCE, Top MCA
  college in Coimbatore.

• The temptations of virtual distractions the
  novelty of being connected online can distract
  children by prompting them to access other
  websites while attending their class.
• Impact on childs health  while there is
  monitoring on the number of hours children are
  exposed to screen time, many children spend
  more hours outside of the classroom engaging
  with their friends, playing games online,
  interacting on social media. Such extended hours
  of screen time can result in various physical
  problems such as frequent headaches, bad posture
  and eye strain. Essential family agreements on
  how to be virtually are important.
• Lack of physical exercise with school occurring
  virtually and buildings and societies locked
  down, many children no longer have access to
  physical exercise in the sports grounds as they
  did before.

• Virtual classes are taking place all around the
  country to indulge them in deeper learning, more
  engagement, and greater participation from the
  students. This also allows teachers an
  opportunity to observe the students and
  understand any challenges they may be facing
  before starting the real classes at KCE, the Best
  Mechanical Engineering College in Coimbatore. The
  youngest students meet their teacher with their
  parents for one-on-one each week. We are
  increasingly flipping lessons with carefully
  designed pre-learning tasks, creating break out
  spaces for small group learning, to augment rich
  discussions during synchronous time.
