In March 2020, the World Health Organization declared the spread of COVID-19 a worldwide pandemic. As such, schools at every level were sent scrambling. Institutions across the world switched to Online or Distance Learning, with teachers, students, and parents quickly adapting to an entirely new way of life.
St. Gabriel International School strived to work hard to adapt to the need at hand – to quickly develop an online learning program for the New Normal. The SGIS O-LIVE (Online Learning in an Integrated Virtual Environment) program was launched in June 2020 using Microsoft Teams. The program was well-received by the Gabrielite community and was lauded by many as one of the best programs around.
After a year of Online Distance Learning, we asked our dedicated teachers to share their O-LIVE experience.
