Locked In | A Short Documentary Film

Trevor McDonald

When the COVID-19 pandemic swept the earth, everyone was forced to an online environment. Schools have had to make a drastic shift in the way they learn, socialize, and grow. This documentary addresses the struggles students and teachers have had to go through to find a way to teach all students to become successful later in life while keeping them motivated to learn. Interviews with students, teachers, and researchers in child development show the concern for the long-term impact of learning in this environment.  However, not all of it is bad, as the problem solving skills, cooperation, and the ability to work together can make for this chaotic experience into a positive learning outcome.
