Today I decided to stop being a passive listener and to take action! I refuse to panic and I decide to act, to be creative, to find solutions and to call you all to join me! Please help me spread this message!
The world is in a crisis and we took valuable actions, and in the same time actions based on fear. I will not address them all, but I will address the decisions in the education sector. I understand the decision to close schools and universities, cancel meetings, conferences and seminars, for the safety of the participants and for preventing the spreading of the virus. In the same time, I will say out loud: The education must continue during this crisis!
I urge all teachers, school principals, authorities, ministries of education, to seriously consider continuing the education online during these weeks. There are already may types of education online. And we can do most of the classes from schools and universities online. We have the tools and the knowledge to do this. It’s inexpensive and efficient. Every school can teach its students via online programs such as Zoom, Skype or many others. It is simple and can be implemented immediately.
It is important not to let ourselves overwhelmed by fear and panic, and to find creative ways to continue education and life as normal as possible, in a calm manner, with the tools and knowledge we have. Because we have them and now it’s the moment when we must really use them! We can’t deny the existence of the virus, its spreading and its impact, but while taking the necessary measures to limit its spreading and impact, we can also continue education and work in many areas, as otherwise the real crisis will be experienced after the virus will be under control.
It is important to continue education and connection now more than ever. And this is the moment when we can use our advanced knowledge to do it!
Our children need your support! Please help me raise the awareness and reach the decision makers! Let’s get united! Now it’s the moment when we can use our intelligence, wisdom and geniality! Don’t be a passive reader! Take action and make a difference! Please spread this message!

4 年Thank you Carmen for the message!? Indeed those of us who contribute to the different levels of education may explore now even more intensely the possibilities of technology for teaching and learning!? Me I am discovering new platforms and new ways of exchanging knowledge with colleagues, clients and students!? Fascinating moments!

4 年Carmen Manea i must admit that I am positively surprised with my county decisions. Not only did Mountain View school district prepare lessons for kids, but as well took care of those with no or limited access to the internet. It organized free access to internet for those less privileged. Do not stop educating. Let's do it virtually.
