This week we talked about distributed learning. I think this was a very appropriate topic due to our current circumstances. We talked about the differences between asynchronous and synchronous classes. We also talked about how online learning has affected us but also how we have benefited from it. Personally, I hated online school at first. I thought it was super ineffective and that I would not feel the same motivation as I would get from actually attending real classes. However, I was proved wrong. Even though I have never met most of the people in my cohort, I feel comfortable conversing with them. I know everyone’s names, and can recognize their faces! It is amazing how much the breakout rooms allowed/ forced us to get to know each other. Another thing was that online school has allowed me so much more time to work and go to the gym. I have class everyday, work four days a week and go to the gym 5 days a week for at least 1.5 hours. This would not have been possible if school was in person this year. I was really able to get on track with my diet, and healthy lifestyle which I am so happy about!
