New Normal Classroom

Barbara Ramos
Classes held in classrooms must be full of productive noise to be
called class discussion while online classes must be full of related
responses to call it conversation. Whenever there are class suspensions in
face-to-face classrooms, the weather is to be blamed for it but for online
classes, power disruptions are the culprit.

Parents dilemma are these: lack of gadget for educational use of their
kids and regular time to assist their children are hard to keep. Someone
must have listened to their plea in the advent of technology driven
classrooms, educational tablets were distributed to cure the problem of
inability. Online class discussions can be viewed regularly whether online
or offline, the myth of ‘no time’ no longer exist.

Educational tablets have become the learners’ tool so that they could
always come to class wherever they may be and can go over their lessons
any time of the day as they please.

A Mask is a Must
Wearing face masks is not an option anymore. It was imposed by
government after the Department of Health stated that people going out to
work caused a lot of new infections because of this Metro Manila and four
surrounding provinces were placed under lockdown again until August 18,
2020 after coronavirus infections climbed.
During the onset of this advisory, the public stormed pharmaceutical
stores for face masks and caused scarcity of this protective gear.
Manufacturing companies and even creative individuals thought of an
alternative solution to this massive need of mask production. They come up
with different kinds of face masks from materials available at home to
factory made cottons.
A wide variety of face masks were produced and left the public to
choose the best protection they could use. Face masks’ level of protection
depends on materials they are made of according to Jennifer L.W. Fink, a
registered nurse turned writer in her article at Healthgrade.com. She cited
the research of Florida Atlantic University stating that without any nose and
mouth protection, droplets can spray up to 8 feet this can be decreased to 4

feet by wearing bandanas, these are triangular or square cloth that are
available at home. Another is home-made cloth mask, a double-layer of this
cotton face mask is better than its single-layer version, it can decrease the
spread of droplets from 8 feet to 2 ½ inches, reduces the release of virus in
the air in case the wearer is unaware that he or she is infected.
Cone masks are manufactured molded mask covering the nose and
mouth is less effective in containing droplets compared to cotton masks but
are more effective than using bandanas according to State University
researchers.
Disposable surgical masks can filter out 60% of inhaled particles
while N95s can filter out 95% of it. Both products were always out of stock
because of public demand to resolve this shortage, N95s were recommended
only for health workers. Nowadays wearing a mask is required with face
shield when commuting or going to crowded places. Protection against
unseen virus is better than cure.
