17 Fun Online School Experiences to Help Make You Laugh

Life always finds a way whatever the situation may be. While online learning or online schools in Bahrain may not be comfortable to all, it has the pros and cons of its own. For instance, if you have your memories from physical classroom education, while reading this they will be visualized in front of you. This is a list of activities students or teachers can or cannot do in an online setting. It is sure to make you giggle and laugh a little. Without further ado, let’s start.

1) Students cannot pass comments about teachers because the conversation will be heard by all during the live online class.

2) Teachers cannot beat students or throw chalk, duster or any object during a live online class.

3) Students cannot talk with their friends during the live online class because their conversation will be heard by all.

4) Students cannot even sleep or eat from their lunch boxes at the back benches during a live online class because they are in the camera view all the time.

5) Teacher does not have to talk loudly in order for students to hear them during an online class whereas in a physical classroom, a teacher needs to talk loudly for the backbenchers to hear.

6) Students cannot share their homeworks written in their physical notebooks during a live online class. They have the option to click photos and send but they cannot just pass on their assignments and homework to someone else in the class physically.

7) You will hardly hear students giving reasons for not bringing something to the live online class like “I forgot to bring my homework notebook” or “I forgot to bring my textbook” or even “I forgot to bring my scientific calculator”. This eased up packing according to the timetable of all the notebooks every single day for the students. No backpacking and no need to carry huge bags to school everyday.

8) No teacher will scold students for not putting cover and label with roll number on their textbooks or notebooks during an online class.

9) A teacher does not get to borrow a student’s textbook for teaching during the online class if they have forgotten to bring theirs because they will be at school or their home where they have access to their textbook.

10) Students are unlikely to get any “off period” when a teacher is meeting some other teaching goals in online learning. These off periods used to be utilized for art and craft activities, games among students and team building activities like quiz contests and more.

11) Students and teachers are lonely during their break times. This means, students cannot play games in an online classroom during their recess and get less chances of socializing.

12) Bullying in the school is completely eliminated with online live classes. However, the tone and words of teachers or students during an online class conversation are recorded and may impact their performance as a teacher or a student.

13) Online yoga teachers cannot correct their students’ postures. This is encouraging the yoga teachers to brush up their communication skills more than ever before.

14) Teachers who are particular about their student’s personal hygiene like groomed nails, perfect hair, washed and ironed school uniforms and polished shoes cannot crib during a live online class because they have fear that someone will record the incident and upload it on social media.

15) No other teachers can trespass into an online live class just to comment “This class sounds like a fish market”  because of making too much noise that is disturbing other classes and students.

16) When a student is not feeling well in a physical classroom, the teacher calls their parents to pick them up, advise them to take rest and this used to be the best escape from homework for students. But in a virtual classroom, students can still attend the class from the comfort of their own home while taking rest.

17) Students do not get the opportunity to bunk classes and sit in the library or cafeteria instead of attending the live class. In online classes, students’ parents or students are called up immediately by the teachers asking them to join the class without being late.
