This month's blog is
How to Overcome Camera Shyness for Remote Learners
.
Over the past couple of months, learning has taken a different turn.
Due to the global pandemic, students and teachers have now evolved
from classroom-based learning to a completely new way of learning.
Video conferencing platforms like Zoom have made it possible for
students to remotely connect with their teachers in real-time.
However, distance learning has not been going smoothly for every
student out there, as this is completely new to most of them.
Camera shyness is one of the major issues for remote learners, and
here are some tips to help you overcome it.
Guest Blogger Cathy Abbot is a former teacher and currently a
passionate freelance writer at DoMyHomework123. She loves hiking with
her friends and reading Jane Austen, but in the evening you'll most
likely find her on the couch, watching The Crown.
