Joint Oireachtas Committee on Children and Youth Affairs

Children's Experiences during COVID-19 Restrictions and Lockdowns: Engagement

Ms LilyRose Wogan-Martin:

Personally, I did not really like Zoom. Maybe it was just me, but it was such a big jump from learning algebra or something else in the classroom to suddenly doing everything on Zoom. I really did not like the Zoom classes. I would cut it off and just leave and do my homework. However, there are some aspects of Zoom that I did like. We had about an hour on Zoom so we had to fit every subject into a small bit. It was kind of nice only having a little bit of mathematics to be explained, but at the same time it was a lot harder to learn because I had my iPhone next to me and everything around me. It was so easy to just turn off Zoom and start playing Roblox or something. I think a lot of kids did that. It was a big jump. It was very hard at the start in March, just before St. Patrick's Day, to ease back into it, but after a while we got used to it again, or at least I did.
