When No One Shows...


Me, all by myself, when none of my students show up to their scheduled Zoom Meeting.

We're now in the middle of our 7th week of Remote Learning during The Quarantine. At first attendance to my meetings was robust and energetic. Zoom was new and interesting. But soon students began muting their cameras so all you could see were static avatars. A few weeks went by and more and more students stopped showing up. The novelty faded fast. And maybe the content of my Zoom Meetings did not hold interest for them. Plus, 9:30 am is pretty early for some of my students these days. I don't take it personally. But it can sometime get lonely out there...
