How to navigate the new normal By GRACE B. SINGSING Senior High School Teacher III Lantapan National High School Lantapan, Bukidnon
IF the pandemic was a wildfire raging across the world in March and April, these days it’s sputtering along with scattered embers and small fires here and there. Preventive measures that public health officials put in place to curb the spread of COVID-19 seem to be working. Yet the virus is still out there and there are still many things researchers are learning about it spreads and how to live with the threat of COVID-19. The new normal – we’re there. We have learned that you can open things and do much of what you used to do with masks and distances –
outdoor and indoor dining, movies, some of the stuff that we wondered if we can ever do again. The coronavirus is not airborne though. It’s not a debate. The strategies we use for droplet transmission are masking and good ventilation and that works for the coronavirus. So we can open up and do things like indoor and outdoor dining. Will you be at zero risk with masks and distances and low numbers in your community? No. But it’s everybody’s individual decision how much they want to participate in the things that society is now offering.
health services. Bereavement, isolation, loss of income and fear are triggering mental health conditions or exacerbating existing ones. Many people may be facing increased levels of alcohol and drug use, insomnia, and anxiety. Meanwhile, COVID-19 itself can lead to neurological and mental complications, such as delirium, agitation, and stroke. People with pre-existing mental, neurological or substance use disorders are also more vulnerable to SARSCoV-2 infection - they may stand a higher risk of severe outcomes and even death. Survey finds major disruptions to critical mental health services The survey was conducted from June to August 2020 among 130 countries across WHO’s six regions. It evaluates how the provision of mental, neurological and substance use services has changed due to COVID-19, the types of services that have been disrupted, and how countries are adapting to overcome these challenges. Countries reported widespread disruption of many

Benefits of virtual education By MARICOR A. DUMAGUIN Purok 8, Baybay, Alubijid, Misamis Oriental
C O L L A B O R AT I N G online might prepare students with the skills needed for modern careers. Many students may have enough maturity, focus and selfdiscipline to learn digitally. Let’s just say it: there is nothing ideal about students and teachers dealing unexpectedly with remote learning, as millions have been doing during the COVID-19 pandemic. That said, there may be a silver lining to virtual classrooms and distance learning, which many universities and schools this academic year are defaulting to, in various degrees, due to the coronavirus. As students and teachers may have to compensate for logistic challenges, collaborating online might prepare high school students with the kind of organizational acuRepublic of the Philippines Department of Transportation LAND TRANSPORTATION FRANCHISING & REGULATORY BOARD Regional Office No.10, Apovel, Bulua, Cagayan de Oro City BUKIDNON TRANSPORT MULTI- CASE NO.

men, emotional intelligence and self-discipline needed for modern careers, particularly those that allow for the growing trend of working in remote, distributed teams. The sooner that students master those proficiencies, the better off they’ll be when they reach the job market. Of course, it’s much more difficult to claim that younger, grade school students benefit much from distance learning and virtual collaboration. Their attention span is limited and is best captured by in-person engagement. For more complex topics, children need the attention, direction and feedback that only can be provided by a teacher in the same room. In-person instruction also is critical for many students with special learning needs.

As schools prepare to implement their online and modular distance learning modalities this school year, let private solutions providers be your reliable partner for securing the most effective learning materials and platforms that may be used to perform effectively in the new classroom setup. With traditional face-toface classes still not an option due to the COVID-19 situation, schools have adapted to different learning delivery modalities to continue classes this school year. To help guide schools on how to properly and effectively operate in this new normal setup, the Department of Education (DepEd) released DepEd Order No. 13, which contains the Readiness AssessRepublic of the Philippines Department of Transportation LAND TRANSPORTATION FRANCHISING & REGULATORY BOARD Regional Office No.10, Apovel, Bulua, Cagayan de Oro City
ment Checklist for Learning Delivery Modalities in the Learning Continuity Plan of Private Schools. This assessment specifies the requirements and standards needed to ensure that schools undertake adequate preparations for the learning delivery modality that they have chosen for this school year. This partnership has enabled many schools to achieve a blended and flipped learning approach in their classrooms, to create a more fun and engaging learning experiences for digital natives. As an all-in-one learning platform, it comes packed with features like personalized courses, calendar, messages, dropbox, online tests, integrated apps, groups, and grade book.

While many countries (70%) have adopted telemedicine or teletherapy to overcome disruptions to in-person services, there are significant disparities in the uptake of these interventions. More than 80% of high-income countries reported deploying telemedicine and teletherapy to bridge gaps in mental health, compared with less than 50% of low-income countries. WHO has issued guidance to countries on how to maintain essential services - including mental health services - during COVID-19 and recommends that countries allocate resources to mental health as an integral component of their response and recovery plans. The Organization also urges countries to monitor changes and disruptions in services so that they can address them as required. Although 89% of countries reported in the survey that mental health and psychosocial support is part of their national COVID-19 response plans, only 17% of these countries have full additional funding for covering these activities. This all highlights the need for more money for mental health. As the pandemic continues, even greater demand will be placed on national and international mental health programmes that have suffered from years of chronic underfunding. Spending 2% of national health budgets on mental health is not enough. International funders also need to do more: mental health still receive less than 1% of international aid earmarked for health. Those who do invest in mental health will reap rewards. Pre-COVID-19 estimates reveal that nearly US$1 trillion in economic productivity is lost annually from depression and anxiety alone. However, studies show that every US$1 spent on evidence-based care for depression and anxiety returns US$5.

Digital transformation trends in education By OLIVE SYCHELLE G. PARA-ON Teacher I Bongbongon Elementary School
DIGITAL transformation is not restricted to industries anymore. It is real and it is impacting sectors like health care, education, fashion and others. While we are aware of how modern technologies are impacting every niche, there is not much literature available about education. At present, educational institutions worldwide are facing multifaceted challenges including the growing impact of digitalization and changing expectations from students and teachers. No thanks to the brutality of the coronavirus pandemic, digital transformation in education has shifted from important to essential within a few months. It has highlighted the gap that is prevalent in this community between the necessities and
not in this period. Further, as this sector becomes competitive, digital transformation is now becoming a must for survival as this new digital world requires educators to adapt and adopt digital technologies, methodologies and mindsets. Due to COVID-19, nearly 1.5 billion students that include 90 percent of all elementary and secondary learners in the world are unable to go to school physically. This comprehensive roadmap is designed to provide high quality learning experiences to students across the country using technology. And the best part is digital transformation in the education industry is not restricted to online teaching and learning post-COVID 19.
