HCM City (VNS/VNA) - Teachers at schools, colleges and universities in Ho Chi Minh City are applying a wide range of teaching methods to help their students learn online while the schools are closed until February 9 to prevent the spread of the coronavirus.
Pham Nhu Tung, a physics teacher at Ernst Thalmann High School in District 1, told Tuoi Tre (Youth) Newspaper that he has prepared online practice tests for his students.

“They can use online chat windows to talk directly with each other if they need to,” he said.
Technology-based tools and resources help students more effectively than previous teaching and learning methodologies, he said.
