Abstract

Covid-19 has brought about a new change of paradigm. Just like the once-for-life education is outdated, the face-to-face education will never be the same again. Consistent adjustments are needed both in the curricula taught and the resources involved. However, after the first shock wave had ebbed, most educators started reevaluating their teaching and tailoring their skills to fit the latest requirements and the facilities at hand. While some dedicated teachers spent long hours attending online courses and webinars, watching tutorials, and trying out fancy e-gadgets and apps, others relied basically on the tools of their school platforms. Whatever your strategy might have been, if you love your job, keep in mind the essence of teaching (content/skills, objectives, and methods), and if you are concerned about the well-being of your students, the latter may consider themselves lucky. The article presents besides my experience the main findings of a survey conducted in Reghin.
