E-Learning Series: Students' Reflections | 在线学习系列：学生的反馈

This week, we continued our series of reflections on eLearning by asking some of our Secondary students about their experiences with the past month of remote learning. Their comments are centered around what discoveries they have made and what differentiates virtual from in-class learning according to them.

本周，我们就过去一个月在线学习的经历采访了几个中学部学生，继续我们关于在线教学的系列思考。他们的评论主要围绕着他们的发现，以及虚拟学习与课堂学习的不同之处展开。

The eLearning journey has propelled students to enhance their autonomy even further when coming to keeping up and completing their school work. This view is supported by Charlie Leung in Year 9 who shared with us that  “With e-learning, the teacher is not there to tell you what to do, it is up to you to join classes, pay attention to lectures and complete tasks. You are making your own decisions to benefit your own learning”  This is certainly a skill that stands to benefit him and his peers in future.

在线教学之旅已经推动学生接受和加强他们的自主性，甚至进一步跟上和完成他们的学业。这一观点得到了9年级的Charlie Leung的支持，他和我们分享道:“在线学习过程中，老师并没有告诉你要做什么，而是你自主的来上课、听课和完成任务。你是在为自己的学习做决定。”这当然是一项会让他和他的同学在将来受益的技能。

Many of our students have appreciated the optimal use of technology during this time, as it has allowed them to continue with their learning away from their classroom walls and to keep in contact with their classmates on a regular basis. “No matter where you are in the world, you can still attend live lessons and still be able to learn and grow” said Gabriel Low.  

在这段时间里，我们的许多学生都领会到合理利用科技的好处，因为这让他们能够在远离教室的地方继续学习，并定期与同学保持联系。“不管你在世界的哪个地方，你仍然可以参加直播课程，仍然能够学习和成长，”Gabriel Low说。 

Elim Kim, a Year 7 student, also added to this sentiment saying, “I like how we are all still collaborating as a class, and trying to help each other as much as possible, since that’s the spirit of the school”, referring to the school’s emphasis on collaborative work.

7年级学生Elim Kim也表达了同样的观点，他说:“我喜欢我们仍然作为一个班级在合作，并尽可能多地互相帮助，因为这是我们学校的精神。”指的是学校对协作学习的重视。

Charlie and Year 9 student Gabriel have been having positive experiences with this learning approach. They have even found it to be enjoyable. “Once you get used to it, it’s a great alternative to turn to when we can’t attend school.” said Charlie. Flexibility has been a great lesson as well according to Gabriel who said so far, she has been “quick to adapt to this system of eLearning.”

Charlie和9年级的学生Gabriel对这种学习方法有着积极的体验。他们还觉得很有趣。“一旦你习惯了，当我们不能上学的时候，这是一个很好的选择。”Charlie说。根据Gabriel的说法，灵活性也是很好的一课，到目前为止，她已经“很快适应了这种在线教学系统。”

Learning since the beginning of February has not come without challenges, with technical glitches being the most prominent. Elim Kim’s initial experience was “rather difficult” he says. The year 7 student, who is currently in Korea, shared that “I wasn’t able to join a lot of calls or send a lot of messages due to technical difficulties and problems with the internet connection. But still, I learned to stay more focused from this experience, and I was able to keep track of what we’re learning.”  with the help of his teachers and the technical team responsible for the smooth running of the IT systems.

自2月初以来，学习并非一帆风顺，最突出的是技术故障。Elim说，最初的经历“相当艰难”。这名7年级的学生目前在韩国，他说:“由于技术上的困难和网络连接的问题，我在很多时候无法加入课程，也无法发送信息。但是，从这次经历中，我学会了更加专注，我能够跟上我们所学到的东西。”他的老师和负责IT系统运行的技术团队为他提供了帮助。

For Gabriel, “Learning from home has allowed me to be able to stay at home with my family and allowed me comfort while learning” but even for her, nothing is better than face-to-face interactions with her classmates and teachers; a common theme amongst all three students.

对Gabriel来说，“在家学习让我能够和家人待在家里，让我在学习的时候感到舒适”，但即使对她来说，没有什么比与同学和老师面对面的交流更好的了。这是这三个学生的共识。

“I miss the social aspect of the school. I miss performing in assemblies and events, performing is one of my favourite things to do and I can’t wait to step on stage when school reopens” concludes Charlie.

“我怀念学校的社交生活。我怀念在集会和活动中表演，表演是我最喜欢做的事情之一。当学校重新开学时，我迫不及待地想上台表演。”Charlie总结道。

For Elim, his focus is on his learning, until we can go back to normalcy. “I just overall miss the learning, since I find it much more difficult to learn, and I miss my peers and tutors too. All I can do is to keep track of the learning and hope we go to school soon. Although the elearning is overall not what we expected, we should still persevere and stay educated, until this unpleasantness ends.”

对Elim来说，他的重点是学习，直到我们可以恢复正常。“我就是想学习，因为我发现所学内容越来越难，而且我也想念我的同学和老师。我所能做的就是跟上学习进度，希望我们能快点回到学校。虽然在线学习终究不是我们所期望的，但我们仍然应该坚持下去，继续接受教育，直到这种不愉快的事情结束。”

We are very proud of our students who have been displaying determination, perseverance and flexibility during this challenging time and like them, we hope for a swift change in events and to see everyone back on campus very soon.

我们为我们的学生感到骄傲，他们在这段充满挑战的时间里表现出了决心、毅力和灵活性。和他们一样，我们希望事件能尽快好转，并看到大家尽快回到校园。
