The COVID pandemic has affected the education system in many ways. Schools have remained physically closed for nearly seven months since the pandemic started, and aren’t opening anytime soon.

The amount of free time and time spent alone, has also expanded for students, thanks to the lockdown. Outside sport activities have reduced, and extra classes have not really been seen during this period. As a result, the use of the internet has also increased considerably.

While idly browsing youtube and facebook from time to time is not a bad thing, keeping an open mind on other resources for learning is something students need to strive for during the lockdown.

There are countless resources online which can help do that, but the internet is a massive, convoluted place.
