Yes, technology and all the connecting applications centred around student learning made a brisk business , with virtual 3D effects . Learning did not come to a standstill, children and young adults did adapt to the changing scenario. 

Teachers worked hard , almost day and night , upgrading skills to the needed hour , yet are we all truly satisfied , and for how long we may be suspended in this situation. 

Vaccines are on the way , that is what they say and the efficacy of it all would be truly talked about after we actually conduct an intensive survey of the entire population. 

There are two types of learners  as a broad reference , the linear and the lateral. 

The computer system works on the linear model and much creative work can be done ,however through a representation of the structured work in interesting ways. One needs to pick and choose  the nature of program , that is needed to be represented upon, in figures, in graphs, in diagrams, in 2D or even 3D .

Today almost every concept of learning is well fed in amazingly novel ways ,to enthuse the learner. 

However the lateral learner is the type of a learner , who would be actively participative, thinking, analysing, brain storming, collaborating and cooperating within a given feeder input ,that enables , at times extraordinary output.  

A point of concern is , as regards the intellectual functioning of such children and older adults too. 

Futuristic observation studies will tell us of their actual progress. In the present scenario, some amount of regression is inevitable. 

This is not only in terms of intelligence but the general physique too. 

The brain needs oxygenated cells to perform well , at present ,sitting indoors ,most of the time , with no natural flow of breathing fresh air, the brain’s over all capacity becomes reduced , the physique too is sluggish , lackadaisical and this sort of laziness affects the mental performance too. 

It wouldn’t be wrong then to summarise, that the overall cognitive functioning may be somewhat impaired , in terms of alertness , speed and perception. The focused attention would be lacking. This is in turn would lead to developmental lags . 

Defining the type of learner is very important, relevant too in the present scenario, the creative ,independently thinking individuals need to be given those type of opportunities to their children ,especially by the parents, in any case the home has become an extension of school. 

Earlier it was said, the school is an extension of home but we have seen the reverse in the present global scenario.

The post covid era would be very important in bringing about the much needed difference to the children’s learning capacity.

Theories on regression must be studied, for that eventual application when it is felt utmost needed, may be for an individual or even a group of children. 

All activities cannot be held at home, however interesting it may be, outdoor activities like running and hopping ....do increase the lung capacity. Increased lung capacity would supply oxygenated blood to the heart and in turn the blood supply to various vital organs. That would enable appropriate functioning of the various mental faculties.

As of today our concerns are, undernourished hungry children, disinterested, less attentive and more fidgety children, who perhaps lack in reading skills, communication skills , poor health , all of which would definitely increase the workload of a teacher ,a parent and the over all school authorities.

Much is needed to be planned and executed, the euphoria diminished , the reality strikes hard at us . 

We need to start thinking of solutions right away including strategies to cope with psychological problems. 

A human is a responsibility, the caretakers need to understand this before bringing them out into the world. 

Anger, abuse, come easily when frustrated. Emotions need to be worked upon and well understood.

Doctors and physicians have been working round the clock, the entrepreneurs have been valiantly surviving, the economy needs a boost , all these burning issues would only lead us to more collaborative studies of seeking one another’s help and expertise rather than cut out into individual workaholic. 

A collateral, collaborative effort would be very much needed. We must look forward to the new turns , but also anticipate the correct action plan with an inborn flexibility , ready to mend our ways, as we walk along.
