?amp_js_v=a6&_gsa=1&usqp=mq331AQFKAGwASA=#csi=0&referrer= %1$s&share= (CNN) — Con el aumento de casos de covid-19 en Estados Unidos, la transmisión del nuevo coronavirus está en su punto más alto.
Un nuevo análisis que analizó 54 estudios en más de 20 países encontró que los hogares donde alguien estaba enfermo de covid-19 seguían siendo puntos críticos para la transmisión del virus, incluso si la propagación general de la comunidad había disminuido. «Este es otro estudio que nos recuerda lo contagioso que es el virus que causa el covid-19 y lo difícil que es evitar infectar a otros si uno vive en una vivienda multigeneracional abarrotada», dijo la Dra. Leana Wen, analista médica de CNN, médico de Urgencias y profesora visitante de la Facultad de Salud Pública del Instituto Milken de la Universidad George Washington, que no participó en el estudio. How COVID-19 exposed challenges for technology in education.
School doors around the world have been closed for several months to contain the spread of the COVID-19 pandemic.
During this crisis, we have seen an incredible amount of large-scale efforts to use technology in support of remote learning. At the same time, this crisis has exposed the challenges for technology in education, including many inequities starting at the lack of access to computers and the internet. 1,6 billion students in 194 countries were impacted by school closures. What VUCA Really Means for You. Supporting teachers to maintain continuity of learning during school closures - COVID-19 education webinar #2. As a result of school closures to slow the spread of COVID-19, governments have had the unprecedented task to identify solutions to rapidly ensure that quality education has continuity as much as is feasible based on available resources and the existing school calendar.
In many countries, this includes an increasing shift to online learning using both synchronized and non-synchronized methods to maintain the same basic curriculum and learning objectives, while in contexts with low or no technology it may focus on alternative learning arrangements supported by different technologies, print, and innovative teacher-parent-community arrangements. The webinar aims at sharing information about how governments are supporting teachers and educators to continue to provide quality education to overcome COVID-19 related school closures.
