So this is the 'New Normal" for students here. Online classes for students. My son already started their class last Wednesday. It has been his 5th day today. They do the class on skype with their teachers. As you can see with the set up, there are two laptops. The left one is used by my son and the other one is for me. He is learning now how to use skype and chatting. I have to be with my son to guide him. He has mild autism and some learning delay so I have to guide him through the class. We are blessed we are able to secure additional laptops for my kids for their classes. This will be my set up for I do not know until when.

All of us have had to adjust ourselves to a new lifestyle. I do hope your son can learn as much as he can throughout Skype!

Yes i think better Skype than Microsoft Team for the application. My son school use Microsoft team and its more complicated. I try to install Microsoft Team to the laptop and not finished until now.

no, it is for the whole class. Their class was reduced to half. A lot did not enroll or change school. Their class is 8-12 everyday

It is quite hard for the students, the teachers and parents as well. More so for parents who could not afford to buy such gadgets for their children.

that is true. It is hard for some especially those who do not have the access to computers and internet

This is good that you help him. It may be a good idea as students can get a little special attention

@rakski Yes, it is the world of online classes now during the corona. Better to be safe at home than to go to school and possibly get sick.

It must be quite difficult but it is good that you have two computers and can at least function.
