Reply: The recent rapid development of the epidemic in COVID-19 has made people contact with all kinds of media more frequently to get the latest news, but at the same time, we will also get a lot of miscellaneous information and various evaluations that don't need to bear too much responsibility, which will make people upset and unable to concentrate.
At this time, you need to concentrate hard. We all know that placing a convex lens in the sun and adjusting the position of the convex lens make the sun focus on one point, thus igniting the paper. Everyone's attention resources are limited. If you don't filter out all the information you come into contact with, there will be too much useless information to deal with, which will naturally lead to inability to concentrate. Second, reduce the use of social media as much as possible, control the time when you brush Weibo and read WeChat, cut off negative information sources, say "no" to the content that may shake your will to "take good online courses and help students study better", and distract yourself during the epidemic period, which can more effectively make teachers strengthen their beliefs, focus on key points and concentrate on online teaching during the COVID-19 epidemic period.

Question 2: During the COVID-19 epidemic, my students' mentality changed when they studied online. One kind of students deliberately influence the teaching order in online teaching, while the other kind is self-destructive. How should I treat them?
Answer: Middle school students are in adolescence. At this stage, they have high self-awareness and strong sense of independence, and are unwilling to obey everything and listen to the opinions of their parents and teachers. Some students show strong rebellious behavior. On the network platform with loose teaching order, they may make inappropriate remarks to gain the attention of other students and flaunt their own maverick. In shaping psychological behavior, the best way to deal with bad behavior is to eliminate the influence in time and ignore it. At this time, teachers should quickly delete inappropriate remarks, divert the attention of other students as much as possible, and let students' bad behavior gradually fade away.
For students who lack self-motivation in online learning, examples of various role models emerging in the epidemic can be appropriately interspersed in the teaching process. For example, a female doctor who was trapped in Wuhan, China due to the COVID-19 epidemic successfully completed her defense in Padua University and obtained her doctorate through video. Inspire their self-motivation with the power of example, and let the students realize that the epidemic has broken the stable day and the original review plan, but the process of fighting the epidemic is also a test of our will and belief. In this process, we face up to our cowardice and don't waste a minute to fight for our future. This is the real courage.
In addition, teachers should realize that the ability of thinking monitoring is obviously enhanced in adolescence, and creative thinking reaches its peak. In this special period, it is just right to use the opportunity of online teaching to set up more links for students to discuss and share independently, to stimulate students' awareness of autonomous learning to a greater extent, to exercise creative thinking, and to let students really find the fun of autonomous learning, increase their knowledge and enhance their ability, instead of getting lost in pure sea tactics.

Question 3: Facing the COVID-19 epidemic, I am very worried about my family and my health. At the same time, I am not familiar with the network teaching method, and I am afraid of making mistakes, so I can't achieve the expected teaching effect. I feel very anxious and nervous. What should I do?
Reply: The generation of emotions has a lot to do with our evaluation of the status quo. Under the current circumstances, middle school teachers are faced with three major sources of pressure, one is the epidemic situation that each of us has to face, the other is unfamiliar online teaching, and the third is the learning effect and teaching quality of students. Faced with these triple pressures, it is very easy for people to have a bad evaluation of the status quo. It is normal to feel anxious and nervous, and the following methods can be used to deal with it effectively.
Facing the anxiety of COVID-19 epidemic, we should screen the information of ourselves and our families, limit our daily exposure to news related to the epidemic, pay attention to official news in a limited time, and make scientific protection for ourselves and our families. Facing the unfamiliar network teaching, I realized ideologically that no matter what form of teaching, the core of teaching is unchanged. Do your homework in advance on the teaching platform you use, or do simulation exercises with the help of your family, or seek the support of the teaching and research group. Teachers exchange information through constant practice and gain more experience in dealing with emergencies. Facing the uncertain teaching effect, we should be prepared to adjust the teaching plan at any time, and realize that it is of greater significance to collect rich learning information in the early stage of online teaching to improve the teaching quality. As long as we clearly understand the sources of stress and break them one by one, and pay more attention to our specific work, anxiety and tension will certainly be alleviated.

Question 4: In the process of online teaching, no matter what I do, I can't arouse students' enthusiasm. I feel frustrated and depressed. I feel guilty when students and parents report that the learning effect is not good. What should I do?
Reply: The COVID-19 epidemic has disrupted our normal life and teaching rhythm. In the face of sudden changes, the education department responded quickly. Thanks to the rapid development of communication technology, when face-to-face teaching is impossible, we still have the opportunity to conduct online teaching, and we can also get students' feedback to some extent through the network. However, in the face of the objective situation of tight time, heavy tasks and new tools, teachers will certainly face various problems such as unskilled platform use and students being lazy at home in the early stage of online teaching. At this time, it is normal for responsible teachers, especially those with heavy teaching tasks and great pressure to enter higher schools, to feel depressed and blame themselves for these setbacks. You want students to acquire knowledge in a timely and effective way through active interaction. You might as well try this:
First of all, accept the status quo that you are a "novice teacher of network teaching" and focus on preparing lessons and investigating students' situation, not on your own emotions. On the one hand, check whether your course content is suitable for online teaching and whether there is too much teaching content, so that students don't need to think actively, don't need to express actively, just need to listen, which may cause students to be inactive in interaction. On the other hand, actively carry out academic investigation, design a questionnaire on course content and interaction mode, and thoroughly investigate students' needs and actual acceptance. At the same time, we should actively use the teaching experience of the teaching and research group and ask other teachers for advice. On this basis, according to the investigation of learning situation and the experience of other teachers, we actively try to make changes. We must strengthen our faith and persist in our efforts for a period of time, and we will certainly achieve remarkable results.

Question 5: You can concentrate on your work in the working environment, but because of the epidemic, you can only work at home for online teaching. Faced with a strange teaching platform and a computer screen with no sense of interaction between teachers and students, I am at a loss, fidgeting and feeling speechless. What should I do?
Reply: If you put aside the current COVID-19 epidemic, would you be at a loss when you first stood on the podium? Are you nervous and thirsty, too, afraid of not telling the students clearly? Therefore, in fact, the "new normal" of teaching caused by the COVID-19 epidemic has turned every teacher into a "novice". The strangeness of teaching platform and camera makes teachers feel powerless, so this kind of problem is normal and temporary.
Faced with such a situation, teachers should learn to use the strength around them to develop their own strength and bring strength to students. With the help of the strength around us, family members can act as students when they are not proficient in the teaching platform, try to run online teaching content before class, let family members express their opinions, and tell their families their worries and confusion. Comfort and feedback from your family will give you the strength to support you closely. Develop your own strength, and everyone will feel powerless, anxious and afraid when facing new difficulties. This is actually the unyielding strength of life itself. Seize the opportunity to improve their own quality, especially their coping ability, and they will turn passivity into initiative. In order to bring strength to students, we should always remember that teachers are the best role models for students. Under such special circumstances, teachers should strengthen their beliefs, which will actually convey courage and strength to students in the classroom.
Try the above methods, and you will be able to stand on the network platform with confidence and confidence!

Question 6: During the anxious and tense work at home, I suffer from insomnia at night and feel confused during the day, which greatly affects my work. How should I adjust?
Reply: Faced with the epidemic situation in COVID-19, unfamiliar online teaching methods, anxious students and parents, and middle school teachers' insomnia are normal. There are still many teachers who forget to eat and sleep at work and tend to stay up late, but the premise of efficient work is to ensure good health and good sleep. Insomnia may have many cognitive and emotional bases. No matter what the reason is, taking the following simple steps can effectively improve insomnia. First, when working at home, you must make a reasonable schedule for yourself, especially get up at regular intervals in the morning, try not to take a nap at noon and try not to stay up late at night; Second, refuse all electronic products as long as possible before going to bed, and you can read books or do soothing bedtime yoga; Third, if you wake up halfway, you can take a deep breath, concentrate on your breathing, lie quietly in bed and close your eyes, and don't deliberately think about what tasks you have not completed, let alone force yourself to fall asleep again.
If you want to eliminate insomnia from the root, the most important thing is to make a good work plan, know what you need to complete, what you are doing and what you have completed, and what you can change, what you can't change and what you need to accept. If you try to do this, you can greatly reduce your psychological pressure, finish your tasks efficiently during the day and relax at night.

Q
Question 7: I have been working at home for a long time, and I feel dizzy, backache, chest tightness and itchy throat sometimes. What should I do?
First of all, being isolated at home for a long time, coupled with the tense atmosphere of the COVID-19 epidemic, can easily make people feel nervous and bored. Bad emotions will bring certain physiological reactions, such as palpitation, shortness of breath, chest tightness, fatigue and other symptoms. Secondly, as a teacher, it takes a long time to do sedentary work such as preparing lessons, correcting homework and answering questions. If you don't pay attention to your schedule, you are likely to get dizzy, backache and backache. In addition, it is normal to give lectures online for a long time. Itchy throat and dry mouth are normal.
If you want to cope, you need to do two things: First, pay attention to your physical condition. If you have never been to an epidemic area or come into contact with possible infected people, and have no typical symptoms of COVID-19, you can rest assured. Because everyone may be overly sensitive to their physical changes during the epidemic. At home, we should pay attention to the combination of work and rest, moderate rest, proper exercise, enhance immunity, relax our spirit and mood, learn some stretching exercises to relax our shoulders, neck and back, and do regular physical exercise every morning, noon and evening; Pay more attention to the positive psychological changes in your body, not just the symptoms. Second, keep a positive and optimistic mood. In life, bad emotions will bring uncomfortable physical reactions to a great extent. At this time, you should take the initiative to communicate with your family and friends, and don't let yourself fall into negative emotions.
