MY EXPERIENCE

My experience in virtual classes was new this type of class was a big surprise because I was used to face-to-face classes.

The virtual classes taught me to find and know new digital tools to be able to carry out my tasks and also to be able to hold meetings in meet or zoom with my colleagues for group work.

The virtual classes were a teamwork of teachers and students to be able to comply with the contents of each subject. The teachers had to learn about new tools to teach us and new teaching methodologies.

Virtual classes are a bit complicated due to the connectivity conditions and sometimes the resources to be able to fulfill the assigned tasks.

Especially in English, thanks to the teacher's support we have been able to understand the contents of the subject and move forward together as a team.

There are many things to learn and others to work on to meet the expectations of educational quality.

The day of death

Indigenous Customs

On November 1^st, the family gets together to make preparations, for example: making guaguas, a kind of bread that has a colorful body and face, and champús, which is a sweet wash made with corn flour.

On November 2^nd, the family brings flowers, souvenirs and goes to the cemetery. When they arrive at the cemetery, they build an altar on the grave of the relative and offerings are placed. Homemade food is also taken, which are usually dried grains and fruit

Afterwards, all the family members say prayers and build la “Pamba Mesa” (It means community lunch). At the “Pamba Mesa”, food is exchanged with all the people in the cemetery, who may be familiar relatives or friends.

At the end the day, all the relatives go to the parents 'or grandparents' house to eat the '' Chapuckamlla '' which means mixed food. This food is the product of the “Pamba Mesa” made in the cemetery. At the end of the lunch, a prayer is made before going back to the houses.  

Studying in times of pandemic

Continuing with the studies in this new virtual modality was a bit difficult, at first spending a lot of time in front of the computer tired me easily, however with time I got used to it and now I prefer virtual classes to avoid getting infected.

This new virtual modality teaches both students and teachers to be empathetic, not everyone has the same possibilities or they have connectivity problems, we have to help each other to complete it together.
