Abstract

Quella che segue è una riflessione sull’esperienza che ho vissuto con i miei studenti mentre affrontavamo la transizione alle classi virtuali nella pandemia del 2020-2021. Evidenzia alcuni dei problemi legati al lavoro riproduttivo ed esplora le assurdità relative alle credenze sull'"efficienza tecnologica" e ai discorsi che circondano l'istruzione "sincrona e asincrona". Si conclude con una ridefinizione degli obiettivi filosofici e pedagogici in questo tipo di condizioni e invita gli educatori a ripensare le pratiche di insegnamento virtuale in modo che possano aiutare gli studenti ad abbracciare attività di apprendimento tridimensionali e tangibili che possono essere fatte senza uno schermo e nel loro ambiente fisico.
