Online classes: 5 reasons students could benefit from ‘cameras off’

CNN  

Editor’s Note: The views expressed in this commentary are solely those of the writers. CNN — As the 2020 to 2021 school year gets underway – both at the K through 12 and college level – many students find themselves attending online classes via Zoom or similar teleconferencing platforms. Approximately 1 in 5 students live below the federal poverty line and lack access to the technology needed for online classes – from computers or tablets to Wi-Fi. Students may not want to share information about their living situation with their classmates, but a requirement to use video may force them to do so since their peers might realize what’s going on when students have to connect to class from their cars or local establishments. CNN These concerns about required video in online classes are not aimed to prevent teachers connecting with students.
