“I think what helped me most is the to-do list given by Classroom, so that I could structure and see when what subject was due.”
“MACH DIR EINEN ZEITPLAN, ich hab mir keinen gemacht und es war katastrophal.”
Press and politicians keep stressing the failure of remote learning, the need for summer schools and the fact that 2020 and 2021 should be considered ‘lost years’. Interesting though, that both Class of 2020 and Class of 2021 graduated with better ‘Abitur’ results than the years before them. The Berlin average for this and last year was 2,3 (the years before 2,4). This year NMS even made it to the first place of all ISS schools (Integrierte Sekundarschulen) in Berlin, with an average of 1,68! It seems that online learning has its good sides after all, and should politicians simply ensure that all schools have a solid IT-infrastructure and a reliable learning platform, which allows real collaborative and personalized learning.
