In these weeks will be awarded in the school all sorts of notes, not only in the main and secondary subjects, including the “Social or work behavior”. This is a good time to evaluate a whole other category: the Learning teaching via video conferencing is actually the natural replacement of face-to-face teaching in the Corona-times. In professional life, the suffering has to work, apart from some weaknesses in the B Note: Since one after the other from the line, in the Background the ignorant young latschte through the picture, or one of the participants tried in the embodiments of the colleagues all of the settings of his camera. flew time

Such anecdotes have students tell certainly like to. Alone, it has given hardly. The students that graduated in Germany on a daily basis education as a matter of course at home on the Sofa, you could leave it in a single football stadium, without the spacing rules would be violated. Great rejoicing should not there also. This is a poverty certificate.

It is also clear that The reluctance of schools with video conferencing for several reasons. First, there was the sheer technical Overload. Even teachers can now integrate the Whiteboard elegantly in the lesson, were overwhelmed at the beginning of the Abundance of Offerings, the all had their pitfalls. You need to sort only once. Not all children are equipped with technical means. However, distance learning is only for the privileged part of the class out of the question.

another reason is the fear of privacy breaches. For some time now, the European data protection basic regulation for vertebrae provides a to celebrate with such trivial operations, such as Enrollment and class trips.

It was mainly about the “processing contracts”, which include the respective responsible parties of the company. Not unimportant, but also not just the core question, to clarify the use of video conference systems. To those responsible in the schools, however, is sent once more to the message: stay away from this technology.
