Distance Learning – a Piece of Cake for Me and for Third Graders

Nives Žirovnik

Summary:  Distance learning has brought many challenges, but for a motivated and creative teacher who has already established a positive climate, open relationships, and diverse methods in the classroom, this was not too much of a chore. A teacher who knew how to motivate students, prepare a variety of tasks and include them in all phases of the creative process, provided that the students were active and had at least one piece of modern technology, was able to successfully process all the given material. Third graders of IV. Celje Primary School were actively involved in all projects, liked to participate in all thematic days and produced above-average, original products. The condition for success is the participation of all participants in the schooling process. Students, parents, teachers and also the school management.
