Since last year
SLOTXOChanges in the wake of the COVID-19 epidemic Create a new teaching style Continuing education Especially in the matter of "Online classroom" and those who try to adapt with new innovations Turned to more and more facilities for online learning To help both teachers and students
High school student Sophia Jansen said the change was caused by COVID-19. It made her final years as a student a very strange experience.
Part of Sophia's new experience was that some of her roommates attended school and the other was online at home. This is because the school wants to reduce the number of students gathered in a limited area. Which must follow the measures to maintain distance
Fairmont Schools Independent School in Anaheim California Use a camera that works like a tracking robot that moves in the teacher's direction. The device is called Swivl (Swivl) and it looks like a stand with a tablet screen on top. And there are moving wheels at the base
Fairmont teacher DJ Clovis said Swivl acts like a student assistant teacher. A camera and a microphone Based on teaching and learning activities in the classroom
The movement of this robot camera It is determined by communication between a mic attached to the teacher and a camera mounted on a wheel stand.
Swivl co-founder Vlad Tetelbaam said the device was like a robot to follow teachers everywhere in the classroom while teaching. And revealed the atmosphere and content to the students at home
Teacher Sarah Maguire of St. Bonaventure Catholic School said that the students at home had the atmosphere of learning from seeing their classmates at school and in the classroom.
Sophia Jansen, a high school student, said: There are times when the Swivl rotates in the wrong direction and has to chase it and adjust it to match the movement of the teacher in the classroom. But normally considered working fine And help her reach the real atmosphere in the classroom
And in the future, teaching with Swivl as a "assistant" should continue. Because educators see the benefits of this innovation In case students cannot come to school But don't want to miss school Even if the COVID-19 is finally cleared from concerns.
