Distance learning at public elementary schools Preparing to spread new coronavirus infection Gifu Apr. 2 18:39

A new school year will begin next week at a school temporarily closed due to the effects of the new coronavirus.However, in elementary schools in Nakatsugawa City, Gifu Prefecture, it will be necessary to establish a new school in case the infection spreads further and the school is closed again. We are conducting a remote class on a trial basis by connecting children's homes over the Internet.

It is Nakatsugawa Municipal Kakomo Elementary School that is conducting distance learning on a trial basis.

In order to secure children's learning opportunities even during the temporary closure, the elementary school took advantage of the PTA's budget to take advantage of the six tablet terminals introduced and photographed teachers' classes through video posting sites. We have been delivering videos and conducting live remote classes.

The temporary closure period has ended, but the school will take about 20 minutes for 14 children, 3 to 6 years, to respond to the school's call, in preparation for a closure again in the future. And kanji quizzes.

At school, in the new semester, we will investigate how many homes have the conditions for taking remote classes such as terminals and lines, and if they are closed again, we will group them mainly with children who have terminals and go to public halls etc. We are going to consider whether you can take classes.

Koichi Sakata said, "I want to prepare my children for school holidays and help them learn the tasks on their own."
