What can you see in the picture? What are the tiny

creatures that surrounds her? Do you know that these tiny

creatures may harm your health?

Very good! Yes, the picture shows that you need to take

LET’S LEARN All day long, your hands touch things that have

many tiny germs all over them. Germs are microscopic

organisms like bacteria and viruses. They can cause

many communicable or infectious diseases that make

children your age weak and sick.

Germs are too small

that they attack you

in different ways.

Germs are passed

from one person’s

body or clothing

to another person

through direct

contact.

Sometimes, germs

are carried by the

air.

Page 4

There are also

times when we

passed germs

through blood

contact.

Lastly, germs may

spread through fecal-

oral transmission

Everywhere else you go, germs will always

be present. If you do not practice good

personal habits, germs will continue to multiply

and make you weak and sick.

When you are sick, you cannot think well or

perform well. You cannot eat with your family

and play with your friends. You cannot enjoy

what you normally do. When you are always

sick, it also stops you from growing.

Do you want these to happen to you?

Use the alphabetical guide below to help us have

effective virtual classes.

A is for Avoid Acronyms

• Use your full name when you sign in to the virtual

classroom and when you submit/upload your

works online.

• Be clear with your words and spell things out

correctly in order to avoid confusion and

misunderstandings with the teacher and

classmates. Avoid using acronyms such as LOL

(laugh out loud) and TTYL (talk to you later), not all

users are as familiar with these abbreviations

B is for Brevity

• While participating in virtual classroom discussions,

keep your answers short and on topic. You may

also use the chat box for your message or

questions.

C is for Courtesy

• Be respectful. Even on online classes, use polite

expressions like “please” and “thank you.”

• Raise your “virtual hands” and wait to be

recognized when responding to a question or

comment. You can also use the keyboard

shortcut Option+Y on a Mac or Alt+Y on a PC to

raise your hand.

• Mute your microphone during the lesson to avoid

disturbing the class with any background noise.

• Avoid using all uppercase letters; this is often

considered the equivalent of shouting.

• When you enter the classroom, make sure to

enable both audio and video.

Page 13

D is for Ditching Distractions

• Before an online school session begins, eliminate

environmental distractions that may divert your

attention away from learning.

• Clear the room of playful pets or noisy siblings.

• Minimize background noise by turning off the TV

and radio.

• Turn off cell phones. (No multitasking during class!)

• Do not to let the microphone broadcast unless

you are asked to speak.

E is for Early

• Be prepared before the online class. Download

any necessary software and connect and test

devices like microphones or video cameras

before the lesson begins. Exit other applications

on their computers prior to launching the

classroom software. Come to class early.

• When your class is over, leave the classroom by

closing the window.

F is for Focus and Friendships

• Focus on the classroom conversation and

activities.

• Take notes on the information presented.

• Ask relevant questions to clarify the material

covered or assignments given.

• Do not join sideline chats with classmates when

the teacher is speaking.

Page 14

G is for Good Intentions

• Read and interpret virtual classroom messages

with the assumption that teachers and classmates

have good intentions. What seems like a short or

abrupt answer from a classmate (or teacher)

probably doesn’t mean anger—the other person

might just be busy.

• Reread your own messages for friendliness and

respect before sending.

In Submission of School Tasks

• All students are required to complete the

school tasks uploaded in the PSD LMS: e-desk.

All works in the asynchronous class/activities in

the modules will be monitored.

• All students are expected to submit their

work, upload or attach their work in the PSD

LMS: e-desk. Select carefully in the

Assessment Evaluation Section where to

attach a particular work. If your file is too big,

it needs to be converted into the minimum

size or you can provide a link for your work.

• In case the server is down or too busy or

overloaded, the teacher will indicate

another platform where you can submit

your work. Google classroom is the

alternative learning platform for PSD e-desk.
