Bula.
I am Sunny from Nadi, Fiji. I have been in the Teaching field for 13 years teaching Upper primary years in subject areas of Maths, English, Science and PEMAC. Currently I am at Votualevu Public School in Nadi, Fiji. The biggest challenge now is getting students back to school by laying down a solid Covid-19 safety platform to assure parents, guardians and students that best health practices, precautions and protocols have been adopted to adapt to the requirements of MoHMS and reduce chances of transmission at school.
My leasure time activities include gardening, watching Movies and enjoying music. Vinaka

Hello everyone!! My name is Shivneet Vikash Chand and I am currently completing education units at University of Fiji. My area of specialty is Accounting and Economics. The biggest challenge in relation to teaching is the introduction of online learning during the current pandemic situation whereby the e-resources and willingness of teachers and students to adapt to the new mode of learning posses challenges for effective learning environment. I like to play soccer, socialize and get in touch with the current affairs in my leisure time.

Hello everyone I am Asenaca Kaufuti and this is my 7 year in the teaching field. All my life I have always been a book person not so much into technology that would mean online was never an option for me. When we had our second wave the ministry had opted for online classes during the remote learning this was very challenging because I had to come out of my comfort zone to self taught myself to use the zoom, google meet and using google classroom. This course will definitely help me be more resourceful when it comes to online classes.
I look forward to class and hope to find new friends here.
Blessed day everyone

@tavai I think this pandemic have made us teachers to step out from our comfort zone and take the extra mile just to make sure that no one is left behind and I do believe that teachers are heroes worth acknowledging during this pandemic.
Hi @Tavai - Yes! I couldn’t agree more!! Very well said!
Hello I am from the Fiji Islands and I am currently working as a teaching assistant at the University of the South Pacific. My biggest challenge when it comes to teaching, is trying to find new ways of teaching, rather than just talking and writing. Therefore, having to be part of this course, it will help me upskill my knowledge regarding teaching and learning. Lastly, my hobbies are singing, watching movies, reading and socializing.

So far, my biggest challenge in teaching is connecting to all my students through phone calls and on social media’s, since some families do not have access to phones and the internet.

Hi everyone,
My name is Ashley Ashmita Kumar. I teach in Bhawani Dayal Arya College. I teach English and Hindi. I have 4 years teaching experience. The biggest challenge I have come across teaching is Lack of Time for Planning. We find really challenging handling multiple roles, therefore we have very less time for lesson planing. I spend my leisure time watching movies.

My name is Shivani, I am actually a medical student, currently pursuing my 5th year at FNU CMNHS in Fiji. The reason as to why i enrolled into this course was because communication is an essential part even in the medical field. Speaking in terms of an online learner, we faced a lot of challenges , one of the major difficulties was trying to adapt to virtual clinics and applying our knowledge to clinical scenarios where communication skills was very important to understand a patient.My leisure activities include listening to music, baking and using social media .
