~:[CH11 - Day 348]:~ Life Behind a Screen
It seems more and more that life for my students is behind a screen. Even before the pandemic, their phones were a source of entertainment and connection. Now the world has become even more detached from face-to-face communication and life as we know it is stuck behind a screen. For my MUN students, they get the most exposure to that communication as we constantly are speaking in class, however, with their research and papers, they too are also forced behind that screen. Since college, my life has also been like that, as I worked on my various projects in college. One time I was tuck behind the screen for 23 hours in a 24 hour span. Crazy, right? I hope that this world will change and lead us to a place where we connect more face-to-face and students (well, everybody) detaches themselves from their devices every so often so we can interact more and isolate ourselves less. At the end of the day, those screens await us, so I hope we take the time we have with others to make a connection that truly matters when there is no longer a screen to separate us.
