    The document reflects on a teacher's experience with the shift to remote learning during the COVID-19 pandemic. It discusses how schools were suddenly closed at the end of the 2019-2020 school year. Teachers then underwent extensive training over the summer to prepare for online and modular learning. While stressful initially, teachers adapted to the new skills and helped each other succeed. They worked hard to prepare materials for students and continued educating through distance means. Although challenging, the teacher found fulfillment in supporting students' learning during difficult times and saw their engagement improve as the year progressed.

    REFLECTION ON MY TEACHING EXPERIENCES DURING THE PANDEMIC

    It was almost the end of the school year 2019-2020 when COVID-19 shut the schools
    down. All the students and teachers from our school have no clue that was the last time we
    physically meet everyone. The pandemic has put a stop to what seems a normal life to most of
    us. The Enhance Community Quarantine and other categories of it restricts face-to-face classes,
    public transports, gatherings, and business operations.

    The reopening of classes for the school year 2020-2021 has been the subject of various
    debates. Many are pushing for an academic freeze so that no students will be left behind.
    However, the Department of Education has been firm ever since education must continue.

    Remote learning might not be new, but it is for most of us. DepEd and other education
    sectors came up with plans to deliver and teach competencies in different learning modalities.
    My school year started with tons of training, reskilling, retooling, and upskilling webinars. It’s as
    if we are preparing for war. In between the webinars, our principal conducted series of school-
    based training to teach us how to make video lessons, lesson exemplars, activity sheets, and other
    intervention materials. We are online from 8:00 am to 5:00 pm. Sometimes, we must meet on
    weekends. The first few weeks are exhausting. Most teachers will agree that we suffered from
    information overload and eye fatigue.

    Tenured teachers especially, those who were near retirement also, expressed their doubts.
    What if they cannot pull it through? Are they knowledgeable enough to conduct online teaching?
    What if I cannot apply all this ICT training in real life? The issue of gadgets and stable internet
    connection added to our woes. Despite all these, we managed. We learned a new set of skills. We
    helped each other, and we succeed.

    Because distance learning was adopted, it required us to go to school to prepare the


    modules and activity sheets for distribution. We stapled, counted, bundled, and delivered these
    modules to our respective classrooms. Grade levels and sections were scheduled. Parents came in
    to collect the materials. After every grading period, they came to submit the learners’ outputs and
    get a new set of modules. It goes on for the rest of the school year. Again, the process is
    exhausting yet, fulfilling. Despite the threat of the virus, their papers is one of our joys as a
    teacher. Although the submission of output is not at 100%, there are still students who did their
    best to pass their work on time.
    I admit the first time I taught online was stress-inducing. Out of 40 students, a maximum
    of 8 attended the class. They were only able to communicate through the group chat messenger.
    We are conducting online classes on Facebook using free subscriptions of Streamyard.
    According to our survey, the learners’ data cannot open Zoom and Google meet. It feels like they
    were present but, they were not there. I asked questions only to answer them. It was
    disheartening to see that most of them cannot access the new world of online classes due to the
    digital divide. Those who opted for pure modular only learned by reading their papers and
    answering them at home.

    I missed the interactions and the connections, the noise and the crowd. I felt grateful
    every time someone will turn up to my online class. My experience is not all despair and stress.
    As the school year progress, students became more comfortable with distance learning and with
    our current setup. I searched the web for other strategies and techniques so that my lessons will
    become more engaging. They started to be more active, whether it's synchronous and
    asynchronous class. Their outputs turned more creative and well done. The pandemic has taught
    us that the educational system is vulnerable. It also made us realized that teachers could go
    beyond their job descriptions. We can motivate the learners and make them feel that we are still
    here. We became part of the solution.
