It’s been a month since remote learning started. In the beginning, it was really messy and chaotic. However, after a couple of weeks, it got better. These days online learning is really organized. I would like to show a few cons and pros of remote lessons.
Firstly it helps to keep everyone safe from coronavirus, we don’t have to meet and sit in a crowded class. Next is that we can learn how to use multiple programs such as Microsoft Teams or Zoom. Nonetheless, there are some cons. We need to sit next to the computer for 6 or 7 hours per day, it can cause serious problems with the eyes and spine. Also, we can’t meet other people and we have to isolate ourselves, which can cause many mental issues. In summary, I like remote learning because I don’t have to go to school on foot every morning, and I have more free time. To improve it maybe we can use only one program for all subjects. I would like to rate it 7 of 10.

Every human begin have been surprised with starting a pandemic this year. From day by day all of us was just locked in our own houses. In this situation we had to take our businesses on-line like school, work or any different kinds of social meetings. This life style leads to many problems, from technical problems to social anxieties caused of being isolated. In Poland we had a break from this in summer, but now we are restricted again- for me this is a hard time.
Since last month all I do during my basic day is sitting in front of my computer or mobile phone, which is terrible thing to deal with for my eyes and back, when I have to sit in the same position for whole day. Also technical problems like bad network connection that’s makes on-line meetings only more difficult I finds really annoying and unfortunately I don’t even know how to solve them. This situation- pandemic, lockdown etc. is really exhausting and I hope it will end as soon as possible.

In my opinion online learing is a personal issue, thanks to internet lessons some people may understand the subject better. Working from home also can help to focus on lesson.
An additional advantage is that each student can manage time and learn at their own pace wich increase efficiency. Thanks to many types of communication, we develop relationships between students and between teachers. I also get the impression that students are bolder in online lessons than in class, which is certainly very beneficial. Unfortunately, remote learning also has several disadvantages, most worst is that not every teacher or student have a equipment to work online. Fortunately, some schools provide laptops or tablets for teachers and students. Some people find it harder to learn without direct contact with a teacher, moreover there is no control over the tests we write which could lead to a backlog later. The time we spend on electronic devices all day is also a big disadvantage, after lessons we feel tired and in addition we have to study for tests and do homework.
I think distance learning is not entirely good in terms of effectiveness, and I hope it ends asap.

A lots of students think online education is better than learning in school. It's that true? In my opinion no because of that at home often concentrate on work is harder than concentrate n school and because of that learning is harder. Second reason why education at school is better than online is that we sitting in the front of the screen about six to eight hours every day so we are exposed eyes strain and regularly headache because of our time on computer. I think on online education time I learned a lot less than in traditional school learning. Last but not least reason which I would like to write why I don't like online lesson is social contacts. I prefer learning with people not alone and online education don't give me chance to contact with people in my class.

In my opinion online learning is decent. Overall time spent during this month wasn't really fun. My rating about the learning doesn’t apply to every subject though. In some classes the quality of the audio is better than on the others, teachers use different platforms that may result in a change of the conditions, although I’m working on the same device. I use my phone and I hardly ever find problems with attending the classes or with internet connection. Probably it would be better if I would be using a laptop, but it doesn’t seem to detect any microphone that I plug in.
I actually enjoy the majority of the classes. They can be interesting and I can stay focused. But when the only thing that I have to do is to pay attention to the teacher's words, I wander off. It’s easier to keep track of the words if I can see the person talking in front of me. I also enjoy that I can get up just before the lesson and I don’t have to spend a lot of time getting ready. Because of the online learning, I found more time for myself, although I still have to study and sometimes do the homework.
One of the main aspects I dislike are the tests. I think they’re ineffective and pointless and it’s better if the teacher personally asks questions.
My idea of improvement would be that every subject would be on the same platform. Overall, I don't really like this situation.

Online education is better than last year but still not Perfect.
I like that i dont have to go to school and i can sleep little longer. When is break i have time to go to the kitchen and take some things to eat or something to drink. I'm not stressed so much in lesson because when i say something people don't see me. Because i don't go to the school I'm not carry my bag then my back don't hurt. I learn self-discipline and organization my time. I prefer online education but this have something i dislake.  For example sometimes i don't hear my teachers because my dog bark, I have problem with internet or my neighbors make noise. I can't see with my friends. When I'm half of the day spend time looking at the screen I have eye strain.
I don't have idea to improve online education. On my opinion lessons are good to organise classes.

Online learning has both positives and negatives. I think the fact that students don’t have to physically go to school is a positive. However, on the other hand not leaving your home for a significant amount of time could be unhealthy for your body. Another negative is that each teacher runs their lessons on a different program and each program has different settings.
Although that issue was more relevant when online lessons first started, cause I got used to this now. I personally think I’m a quick learner; for example with my hobby video editing, I was able to understand how the software worked quickly, without help from tutorials or tips. I think after a while of working on different programs, students can understand how to use them. This leads to the biggest issue for me which is time spent on my laptop. When students were physically attending school they spent half the day not using a computer or laptop and I assume that for the other half, they used it to rest for example to play games. I mostly use my laptop to edit and watch tv shows or movies. I think that spending twice as much time in front of all these electronic devices, which is not the student’s fault, may make the students more tired. The last point is the pressure that one of the teachers might ask to turn on the camera, which I think would be uncomfortable. If I would be asked to show my room, which is my own personal space, to my class and teacher I would feel like this safe space has been violated which makes the room less safe. To sum it all up online lessons are a good solution in a situation like this during the Covid-19, however looking at it from the perspective of a student, it’s a bit stressful and unhealthy.

When pandemic started, all of us has started feel her fallout. Because of so many infections and to prevent them, economy in Poland has been frozen. As a result, all of us felt like we were falling down – our mental health started to be worse, some of us felt worse, because they have been on a quarantine and they couldn’t go outside. Now we are – students and teachers – sitting at our homes and we are trying to learn, but it’s not that easy. It’s really hard time to all of us, so now we can only caring about each other and trying to survive it.
As an advantage of online learning I would say it’s a simplicity. You mustn’t wake up at 6.30 AM to be on the button at school at 8.00 AM. You mustn’t hurry up at the bus stop. Now you just waking up at 7.50 AM (or later), making a cup of coffee and sitting in your room next to the computer.
Also when I learn at home, I got better grades, what impact on my average grade.
As a weakness of online education, I would say it’s a fact, that students as well as teachers spend a lot of time on a computer. First of all, it’s devastating to our eyes – it’s exhausting and as a result we can suffer from sicknesses like eye strain. Second of all, it’s distracting. For example I, since we started online education, suffer from insomnia. I just can’t sleep, because I spend 7-8 hours per day on online learning and in addition 2-3 hours on doing my homework (sometimes on my computer, what exhausts my eyes more). That influences on my sleep and on my eyes. When I finally fall asleep and wake up next morning, I feel really tired and my eyes hurts, what is really teasing.
To improve online learning, I would like to learn in rhythm – 2 hours of lessons, 30 minutes break, next 2 hours of lessons, etc. I think this would be a better idea, because lessons will end faster than normally, what would be better option, because we will spend less time on sitting next to the computer. Maybe this would end a problem, which is spending too much time online on a computer or a phone, because this have really bad consequences, like very popular nowadays addiction of an Internet.
At the end, I would like to rate online learning and that time. On the one hand, this time in my opinion, is better than time, when we were going to school, because we don’t need to hurry up, what is impossible sometimes. At the other end of the spectrum, it’s really tiresome time. Physical health as well as mental health in students case is going down, because they can’t see each other, what is crucial in their relationships and connections. As a student, now I can tell, that we should have some hope to return anytime soon.

It’s been a month since we started online education. In my opinion it’s certainly a hard time for students and teachers, but we all have to deal with it. I think that after such amount of time I can easily rate it. Online education all depends on internet so here’s the first problem. Not everybody has got an Internet connection. Even if a lot of people got it, network often isn’t working what causes for example cutting people’s words. We also have to think about houses where everyone is using Internet and suddenly it becomes overloaded. Because of these difficulties, joining or staying at online classes can be a problem. Ok, but what is internet for if someone doesn’t have a proper equipment? In some houses there is only one computer which is not enough for several children. But if someone got internet connection and a computer there can appear other problems like in my case, a lack of motivation for doing anything, especially studying. I think that I got used to online education, like many others, but in my opinion nothing compares to normal school. Martyna Cyk

Online education is not that bad as i thought it would be.
In the first weeks, the lessons were unorganized and chaotic but they slowly turned better.
They aren't perfect, but we have to justify how does they look - the situation is critical and people need to isolate.
I can present a few pros and cons of e-lessons:
-Limiting contacts weakens student's sense of authority towards teachers.
-Not everyone can afford to the lessons.
-Isolation from colleagues/friends can lead to some mental problems.
-People don't need to waste their time, energy and money getting to the school building.
-People can still attend to lessons if they are sick.
-It's easier to find some extra-information during the lessons.
-Technical problems are very common from both teachers and students sides.
-Creating tests and exams and any other forms of checking student's knowledge is more difficult.

I think online education is negative, but have positive features. Positive sides: in online education i dont have to spend time on walking to school and wake up early in the morning. Online education is also more convenient. Negative sides: i dont see my friends and dont have interaction with the teacher like I do in school. I think its biggest problem of online education and this problem make my opinion negative. In online education technical errors occur which can make mess. Using the phone (or computer) for a long time negatively affects my well-being. In online education i have problem with self-discipline. In summary i think i prefer traditional (in school) education rather than online education. Despite the positive side my opinion about online education is negative

Online learning in Poland is the result of a pandemic, but in some countries is common way to study. In my opinion this form has a lot pros and cons, but mainly it depends from independent commitment. Notwithstanding this can be conditioned poor quality of the consumer electronics or its complete lack. Impecunious families may not have appropriate amount of own funds. In that case it's available to hire laptop from school equipment. Students can also come to school with their own stuff and only use the school internet if they need it. Some people live quite far away though, so it can be very struggle for them. On the other hand for students with good equipment conditions they do not obligated to go to school and they have more time for themselves. Due to online learning I have more time for my passions and this is by far the biggest advantage this form of study. Summarizing aside from technical problems, I figure online lessons are very beneficial.

Online education is nowadays a new form of teaching and learning. This new form of education is to replace the traditional one. Howewer, everyone is wondering if it is the best way for us. From my point of view this option is unavoidable these days, yet not the most effective.
During the pandemic social distancing is highly recommended, so online education is a perfect solution. People don't need to meet each other in person and communication via the Internet seems to be the safest. Furthermore, this is practcal and comfortable because you can stay at home all day and you don't waste your time getting to classes. For the above reasons, e-learning appears to be cool and ideal both for young people and teachers.
On the other hand, distant learning can have a few drawbacks as well. One of them is the fact that students may not pay enough attention in classes or concantrate. As a result, their learning is not effective. Moreover, sitting on your own for many hours in front of the computer can have some bad consequences for your health. As everybody knows physical condition is as important as your mental state. Online learning deprives you of face-to-face social contact, which is actually not the same as contacting trough the computer.
What we can do about it? First, I should mention marking of students tests. As a result, students should working more effective. It would be a good solution both for young people and teachers.

Online education certainly has pros and cons. This school year, the remote learning system is obviously better. For example, an edziennik was established. This application certainly facilitates the provision of information about marks between the teacher and the student. However, applications don't always work well. Our equipment and the Internet have a big influence on this. Not everyone can have access to good quality computer equipment. But even the best quality computers or phones can start to work badly because a lot of schools work in remote mode nowadays. Nobody can influence it. The virus has also caused everyone are locked in their houses for most of the day and spend a few hours in front of computer. It can have a negative impact on our well-being or health. I am not able to point out specific things that should be changed, but in my opinion the key element is cooperation.

Online education is tough to measure if it is good or bad.
Generally I like online school but it also has disadvantages.
First reason is that I don't have to wake up early but I can just wake up for example 5 minutes before lesson,I don't have to dress appropriate and so on, I can do these and other doings during the day.
Also I feel comfortable because I don't need to travel anywhere.
But like I said online learning has a few disadvantages.
The biggest one is a lack of contact with friends I mean face to face.
Then the second is an issue with difference of effectivity of learning.
And the third is a multitude of platforms where lessons take place.
My school made a good decision to reduce a time of lesson from 45 minutes to 30 and I think the reduced lessons and one platform for most of lessons are going to improve it all.

When all of this started in March it was a whole mess. Now in December it’s going so much better. Lessons are much more organized and well planed but we can all agree that online school has pros and cons. This type of education is great for people who don’t like getting up extra early to get ready or pick an outfit. It’s also useful for those who’s house is located far away from their school. This way u can not only save up on tickets but also u don’t need to struggle with weather difficulties. Unfortunately learning form home has more cons than pros. When you’re an extravert this type of education can be harming for your mental health. School it’s not only doing assignments, taking tests and learning. It’s also socializing with others and marking new friends. When you’re forced to stay at home and not going out you immediately start to miss your friends so much more. This situation may have a huge impact on your mental health and it can even cause depression. The situation is different if you’re an introvert. You may even like this type more than the regular.

Althought e-learning have some advantages, they’re not able to replace normal learning. When we work in usual system we can easily distinguish school time and private time, which is very vital thing to improve effectivness of our learning. But during home working they are mixing , so lots of things distrub us. Also we don’t have the same conditions what’s not positive thing during working together. But we can’t do anything about it. Otherwise for human, who is social being, lockdown isn’t natural space to live. Less energy is connected with loneliness too. What I like about e-learning is flexibilty. During breaks or lessons where teachers are just talking i can do what i want, I don’t waste time on not important things. Also I can focus on subjects what I care about. In my opinion people do what they can so I have no idea what can be improved.

Right now, The lockdown surprised all of us and ruined our plans for Christmas and New Year's Eve. The Government had to decrease the numbers of infected people, stop people from going to clubs, shopping malls, and we currently have online learning. Once it started it was a big mess, teachers using different communicators for their lessons, People with humming microphones, Online lessons raids, Background noises, People sleeping in front the computers, Internet connection problems etc. And these are just some problems which probably all of us witnessed, it also has many advantages
We don't have to spend time on walking to school, the learning is easier, in some school subjects we can understand more.
I think the only thing to improve is teachers using different platforms for their lessons.
