How come your network is always weak? Who is Lalu ki Tapri<\/em>? Please, use your real names! Can someone teach me how to create a breakout room? How did you add that background, Avani? Guys, remember to use your school email; Is that your Insta account you’re checking out? No, Google translate will not be accepted. The pandemic doesn\u2019t allow for marks to be \u2018just given\u2019 I feel like I am the only one present here. A full academic year, can you believe, we spent virtually! How am I doing? Are you all understanding the lessons? This is a new world for me, I am old school. I hope you know I am your teacher and guide. You may not always feel that it\u2019s fair. Grown-ups don\u2019t always get it, I know. I see you being brave and strong. As you navigate this confusing time, Remember the old saying, Don\u2019t worry, we are all here for you AUTHOR<\/strong> <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":" \u3010by Priyadarshini Verma, Dec. 2021\u3011 Hello?

Is my screen sharing? Can everyone see me?<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Use the raise hand feature on Zoom, jeez!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Aiden, common, the lesson starts at nine!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
No, replying to your teacher doesn\u2019t make you a geek!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Yes, we will play Kahoot<\/em>, Quizlet<\/em> Live<\/em> and some more games!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
To learn the past tense, we will now watch a Powtoon<\/em>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Avantika, that is enough emojis, honey!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Else your login attempts are bound to fail.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Really, you\u2019re paying attention! I doubt!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
These short-cuts are definitely misdirected!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Exam.net<\/em> will be used, that is certain!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
All my students, as black boxes, appear!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am not sure, I would even recognise you all, really!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I am concerned if there is any success in your progressions.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Trying my best, to not appear, as an online fool.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Knowledge, advice and support, I shall provide.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
I don\u2019t blame you. It isn\u2019t, I am aware.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
A teenager\u2019s smile doesn’t always show.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And making sure you don\u2019t go wrong.<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Measuring the mountains, you are supposed to climb<\/p>\n\n\n\n
Even if it seems boring<\/p>\n\n\n\n
And we will, together, get through!<\/p>\n\n\n\n
