I participated in the flash talk on February 7. Although none of the talks I heard directly applied to my group’s topic of changing lives due to COVID-19, I thought the one about education using digital technology might be relevant. This method of education has long-term benefits More Equitable Opportunities, Engaging the whole Self, and Fostering Exponential Innovation. Engaging the Whole Self refers to the urgency of addressing mental health, which is the number one issue discussed at this COVID-19. It is important to maintain one’s own mental health to emerge from the crisis in the world at large. One of the biggest challenges of this education law is that not all parts of the world have reliable access to the Internet and teacher education in using digital technology. To solve this problem, I believe that the future will require a global evolution of technology safety and generous assistance and cooperation from developed countries. In the interview with the nurse, she also said that mental health is important. I believe that having a way to relieve stress to keep each person mentally healthy and free from difficult situations will have a great impact.
