Resilient Learning from Quarantine

Willow Mennone (student)
Cayenne (large dog)

This image portrays Willow Mennone Springfield College Class of 2021, completing online homework assignments for Organic Chemistry, with the help of her dog, during COVID-19 quarantine.

The reasoning behind choosing this photo primarily is to show the experience of a Springfield College Student learning from home. In this image there is a whiteboard that was borrowed from my five year old niece, in order to imitate the whiteboards at school in the Learning Commons. Next to my whiteboard on the TV stand is my modem, which tends to stop working at least once a day. The only way I can guarantee WiFi access it to sit right next to my modem. As for the dog, she is meant to show the comforts and therapeutic aspects of home schooling. Lastly, I purposely showed my organic chemistry work because taking a science based course from home has been an extreme challenge compared to other courses. Overall this item is meant to show the resourcefulness, creativity, struggles, and joys of online learning during the COVID-19 pandemic.
