In this grant, I am proposing a project to help give my students portable USB document cameras for remote learning. There are diverse effects the COVID-19 pandemic has caused on students learning remotely. Nearly 60 million students have been affected due to COVID-1, and because of this, students are no longer receiving critical educational and health resources (Hurley & Masonbrink, 2020). The ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic are causing students across the globe to experience pandemic-related trauma and economic instability. We “must advocate for stronger action to ensure the educational, nutritional, physical, and mental health needs of children are met during periods of school closures and addressed during plans for reopening” (Hurley & Masonbrink, 2020). Students are encountering educational losses including lower test scores and educational attainment potential.
Hurley and Masonbrink address the psychological impact of this crisis on children including short- and long-term implications: post traumatic stress, anxiety, and behavioral disorders. Teachers should seek to collaborate with their school and community to create and disseminate innovative methods for remote engagement. The pandemic has presented teachers with an anomalous situation concerning learning and how “...educators have overcome beginning hurdles to not only survive, but thrive amidst this new challenge” (Wood et al. 2020). The developmental needs of students are being considered further through the challenges and innovative ways teachers are learning to connect and motivate students through. When students are not receiving the same physical, in-person learning they are used to, their wellbeing as a whole student begins to decline
With this project, my student’s motivation to learn will be enhanced and their ability to “connect” virtually will expand. So many learners are lacking the in-person attention and affection they are used to pre-COVID-19 and need the educational tools to succeed.
