Jaida DiGiamo

Senior Jaida DiGiamo finds herself less motivated through virtual learning since she is not in a school setting. She prefers being in school and being able to interact with peers while completing schoolwork during her free periods. 

“I enjoy seeing my friends,” she said. “They make being in school a more pleasant experience.”

DiGiamo also prefers to complete her work on her own time throughout the day rather than turning it in during certain time intervals. She said she doesn’t understand the point of logging in for attendance in the beginning of the periods and would rather turn in work at her leisure during the day, with teachers taking it as credit for classwork. 

A positive for her during virtual learning is that she gets to relax in the comfort of her own home while working on her assignments.
