Like students throughout California (USA), students in the West Contra Costa Unified school district, in Richmond, have coped with distance learning instituted this year in response to the coronavirus pandemic. Today, we are bringing you these students! reflections on their current experiences with distance learning and being out of school - what worked and what didn't. Students' remarks have been edited in some instances for clarity.

 

Nayeli Mercado, 15, sophomore, Richmond High

Before distance learning, my mental health was never great, but it was controllable. However, once quarantine
started, I have felt way more mentally exhausted because I can't go out. Also, I've been really emotional. I get really sad over little things or angry at things I shouldn't get angry about. I used to complain about school a lot but I kind of miss it now. I miss my friends, teachers, attending class. I miss school in general.

 

I Alizei De Leon, 15, sophomore, Middle College High I have about the same amount of homework, or maybe a little less in this second year since some teachers are trying to make this easier. Additionally, I don't have to study as much for tests anymore since some teachers have cancelled tests for the rest of the year... I spend about three to four hours on homework per day unless l've - already finished all my work that week. I'm getting through my classes, but I know that I will forget most of this information throughout the summer.

 

Ricardo Castillo, 17, senior, Richmond High At first, when this distance learning started, I thought the work was going to be easier. But then, as time passed, everything just fell apart. I'm behind in all of my classes and it's nearly impossible to catch up. I can't do the work on my own. I want to learn with my classmates. Distance learning changed a lot of things for me. I wasn't able to spend time with my friends and my last year of high school hasn't been what I expected at all.

 

Yashika Joshi, 17, senior, Aspire College Prep Academy Distance learning has been difficult. Its been hard to manage, teaching yourself through assignments... I try to do my work when everybody is asleep at night. If I was at school, I would've learned much more due to a teacher paying more attention. Teachers are assigning work on a daily basis, with 45 minutes to hour-long assignments for each class, all due at the end of the week. The workload has increased a lot. Some teachers have reached out (checked in) but not often.

 

Dana Reyes, 18, senior, Middle College High

My classes are all being taught virtually, through email, or through Google Classroom. I have pushed my self- determination to the max and I'm experiencing somethingvery strange. I am still receiving the content  but now I have to work twice as hard to understand the material. Sometimes, it is discouraging, and I get unmotivated, but I still try my best to finish early even though teachers and staff have been very flexible and understanding with due dates.

 

Mekayla Saechao, 16, junior, Richmond High

Distance learning for me so far has been difficult but manageable. Most of my classes consist of completing work that is posted on Google Classroom with a Zoom meeting every other week. I don't believe I'm learning as much as I would have in school because I'm not getting a lesson from my teachers every day. My teachers have helped a lot by answering questions about assignments quickly... To tell you the truth, it is a lot to manage since Im not physically at school, working with my classmates andteachers. But being at home in my comfort zone has
helped me become more organized with my works.

 

Monishila Maharaj, 18, senior, Richmond High

Although I have assignments from almost all of my classes every day, almost back-to-back, I always feel like I can do the work whenever I want to... It's like fighting with my brain daily to do the work or not to do the work. As much as I wouldn't want to do online learning, I know it benefits everyone by preventing them from getting sick from the virus.

 

Sarahi Yupit, 16, sophomore, Richmond High

tis hard to concentrate at home during distance learning because I don't feel motivated to do the work since there is nobody my age whereas at school, I feel motivated. It seems like its easier to do the tasks and stay on task. There are teachers who teach the actual material. They also motivate you to do your best.

Google começará testes de robô que faz ligações e interage com humanos

 

O serviço robótico de chamadas do Google, que pode falar com os humanos para fazer uma reserva ou marcar um compromisso, está pronto para fazer seu primeiro teste público em pequena escala. Algumas empresas receberão ligações do sistema nas próximas semanas, anunciaram os desenvolvedores. O Google, porém, não revela quantas "cobaias" estariam envolvidas nesse teste. Apresentado pela primeira vez em maio, o Duplex se tornou uma das novidades mais esperadas do ano. Durante o evento de apresentação, o robô telefonou para um restaurante falando como um humano e conseguiu reservar uma mesa.

"Oi - eu estou ligando para fazer uma reserva", diz a voz feminina que começa o diálogo. "Sou o serviço de reservas automatizado do Google, por isso vou gravar esta chamada."

 

E assim, em pouco tempo, a reserva é concluída. Cinco pessoas, 20h, sob o nome de Valerie. Imediatamente, é perceptível que o Duplex agora se identifica explicitamente como um sistema automatizado e diz que gravará a chamada - uma adaptação para evitar violar as leis da Califórnia sobre monitoramento de chamadas telefônicas. O destinatário da chamada tem a opção de dizer "Não quero ser gravado" - ou outras palavras com esse efeito - e o sistema será desativado.

    Buy a beach cruiser and help save sea turtles on Kiawah

    Every spring, fierce female sea turtles-mostly loggerheads-make their way from the ocean to Kiawah Island during nesting season.

   From May through October, Kiawah's beaches are home to 400 nests and thousands of baby loggerheads. But many of these endangered hatchlings would not survive without the island's hands-on nest protection program. Specifícally, the Kiawah Island Turtle Patrol efforts that help 75% of hatchlings make it from their nests to the ocean. Without these efforts: less than 10% have a chance. 

   Sea turtles are an endangered species and the loggerhead turtle has been on the threatened list since 1978. Over the years, the Kiawah Island Turtle Patrol has become one of the largest volunteer turtle efforts in the United States. From relocating nests to helping hatchlings find the sea, volunteering is open to island residents and guests, and the program relies on the community to help raise awareness about the importance of nesting season.
    This May, you'11 see a custom fleet of beach cruisers with an original turtle print designed by Peter Millar at the new Timbers Kiawah Ocean Club and Residences.
    “We approached Peter Millar, a favorite on Kiawah, to design a turtle-pattemed bike as a fun way to raise our owners' awareness about the turtles and show our commitment to protecting the wildlife on Kiawah”, says Chris Burden, managing director for Timbers Kiawah.
    You don't have to be a Timbers' owner to help: the limited-edition beach cruisers are for sale to the public and 100% of the proceeds go to the turtle patrol. “Kiawah Island is one of the country's most vital nesting areas for loggerhead sea turtles and the turtle patrol is responsible for nesting patrols and monitoring efforts up and down the beach. The contributions will be used to fund their initiatives in whatever way they see fit”, Burden says. Anyone can volunteer in the nesting and hatching programs by contacting Kiawah Island Turtle Patrol.
