ELI5: Explain Like I'm 5

Virtual school

Virtual school is like playing school on the computer! You can learn all the same things that you learn in regular school, but you get to do it from home using your computer. Your teachers will talk to you and give you assignments online, and you'll be able to watch videos and do activities to learn new things.

Instead of going to a classroom, you'll be in your own room at home. But you'll still have classmates! You'll be able to talk to them using your computer too, just like in a video call. It's kind of like playing a really long game of "school" with your friends.

Your parents or caregivers will help you set up your computer at home so you can learn virtually. They might also make sure you have a quiet place to work and help you if you need it. You might even be able to take breaks and play with toys or go outside for recess just like you would at regular school!

Virtual school is a really cool way to learn from home, especially if you can't go to regular school right now. You can still learn new things, make friends, and even get a diploma just like you would in regular school.
