Covid 19 - Dispatch from Seoul | Schools
Schools were the first to close as the pandemic hit the world. In South Korea, as the curve has flattened, some grades came back to school but in limited numbers with partitioned tables. For the past month, students all over the countries met together online with their teachers using different technologies from zoom to google classroom. Last week, I visited the Dongbu elementary school in Northern Seoul and documented their new process. Hwang Myeong Sin, a 4th-grade teacher welcomed me in her class and showed me the amazing content of google class that she has put together with other colleagues to teach her students online. Here are some of the photos.
