My
Reflection
Its has been a see saw for me. My learning over digital platforms
was different than what I was used to think. I enjoy being able to
work from home. However, I choose to do my work in a offline
classroom because it gives me the opportunity to ask questions if
needed. I know we can do that over online classes as lack of
personal touches demotivates me to participate. In the future, I
would wish to have physical classrooms over online classes. This
is because lesson plans are simpler to understand and new
information is easier to put into action.
