IMVU Name: LadyPatty Real Profession: Teacher Tell us a little bit about you and what you do for work in rl: I believe I'm a typical Portuguese person that loves going to the beach, singing and dancing. I enjoy travelling a lot and getting to know new countries and their traditions. I'm an English teacher and I love what I do, not only because I'm dealing with children but I'm lucky that my days are never boring or the same. How has the global pandemic affected your job? The global pandemic really affected my job, in March the schools were closed here in Portugal and in several other countries too. So in few days teachers had to find a rapid away to facilitate quality distance learning for students in confinement, with or without the use of digital technologies. So I had to develop new strategies to engage children, while maintaining high standards of teaching and learning. It wasn't easy, I've found myself working all the time. Trying to find better ways to teach online. Now that school is over, it ended last Friday 26th June. I believe we were all heroes, because we all did our best. 34
