Hey Everyone! This is the first episode of the Global Awareness Podcast, with your hosts Angelo and Omar. In this episode, they talk about the impact of COVID-19 on learning environments and systems, and mainly focus on the switch and prominence of online learning. They also talk about how COVID-19 has affected academic systems, like semester systems becoming into quarter systems. Angelo and Omar give their experiences in online learning since April 2020, and they talk about the pros and cons of online learning. Angelo and Omar also share others' experiences of both online learning and in-person learning and how it has affected them. We would like to thank Salsabel and Mr. Boisvert for sharing their experiences with us, and Queen Elizabeth High School for making this podcast possible.
