Overloaded Episode Conclusion
In the Student Technology Consultant's (STC) Overloaded Mini-Series, Cameron Fragoso has asked her fellow ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ students how the transition to remote learning affected them physically, mentally, and emotionally during the pandemic, and how they’ve learned to compensate. Fragoso dove deep into finding out just how broad of an influence screen time has during remote learning at ¶¶Òõ¶ÌÊÓƵ and gave students the platform to tell their stories and share their experiences.
In the final conclusion to this series, Fragoso reflects on all of the interviews and thanks you, our viewers, for listening along as we worked to uncover the continuing impacts of the COVID-19 pandemic on our college learning environments and experiences.
Reflections from the Host
No one could have predicted that the world would face what it has faced this past year, and no one could begin to understand how this would affect our lives. Speaking with students, all with different majors, grades, and experiences, I sought to look at how they all adapted and adjusted their expectations with regard to school and technology. Everyone faced increased technology use, and though some of us tried to limit this, it wasn’t easy. As the semester wraps up, and we all prepare to return to a semi-normal life as a student, it seems that everyone will be ready to set aside the challenges of constant technology use, and begin living as we did before. - Cameron Fragoso
