Some reflections about the pandemic, the visibility, speed and possible suspensions in an audiovisual teacher experience

Abstract

The purpose of this article is to provide a mapping of certain social, cultural, economic, psychological and pedagogical impacts of the Covid-19 pandemic and, within this scenario, to think about how a proposal for an audiovisual experience can contribute to the pedagogical process of understanding this moment. Some autonomous forms of work gained strength and spread amid forced isolation. Terms such as home-office, telework‘, remote learning’, ’online courses’, lectures, webinars, ‘digital innovation startups’ and other narratives gained traction. In a context of social distancing, teachers faced challenges and sought solutions to find survival. And, amidst all these implications and arrangements placed by this reality on the school space, on the professional subjectivities of teachers (and students) crossed by visibilities and media resources and new temporalities, we need to understand a little about the impact of certain behaviors in this new social context. In this sense, we share the audiovisual experimentation carried out via cell phone in an elementary school class. The proposal is the production of small 'pandemic video-letters' that capture plans, images, objects, routines, stories, moments that, in the student's view, would be illustrative of an emotion and/or reflection of these times of distancing.
