A different way to approach mistakes is to embrace them. By coming to terms with the fact that mistakes are part of the learning process, you can see them as opportunities. This mindset has been shown to support learning. Get in this frame of mind and learn from your mistakes. Teachers with this mindset provide learning tasks where students have some basic guidelines to follow rather than step-by-step instructions. Students with this mindset tend to engage in active learning methods and study skills. The idea that mistakes are okay frees you to actively explore a topic or task. When you do make a mistake, reminding yourself that mistakes are a natural part of learning can help prevent negative emotions from creeping in. You can focus on the mistake as information about what you know, and what you need to learn more about. Embracing mistakes has benefits besides helping to control negative emotions. Mistakes require the generation of a solution. This prompts the investigation of different aspects of the task or topic to find a solution. In this way, you may learn things that you wouldn’t have if you were merely following rigid instructions. In the end, you will have a better overall understanding of a task or topic. You will be more likely to adapt your knowledge and get a correct answer if you are asked a related but different question on a test. (Adapted from https://www.globalcognition.org/) 31.

As a strategy to contain potentially infected people and prevent the virus from spreading further, businesses and schools will heavily rely on the internet to keep business running. From online learning to telecommuting, many aspects of our daily lives that used to involve face-to-face contact will be moved to cyberspace. This shift to internet-based work presents advantages, challenges, and potentially a detriment to the education and business communities. For some businesses, telecommuting can be a boon for their bottom line. Imagine a company that can run its entire operation staffed by workers who work from home. No need to lease large office spaces. No need for long commutes. Flexible hours and working in your pajamas (or anything you want to wear). With telecommuting, you can hire a geographically diverse group of employees without worrying about where to house or relocate them. In terms of education, online learning also comes with some advantages. For a long time, schools and colleges have resisted online instruction, and institutions that do have been regarded as inferior. However, with a rapidly spreading virus and a campus full of people in close contact, schools have no choice but to turn to online classes as an alternative, albeit temporary, solution. By letting students learn from home, colleges can allow more students to take the same class simultaneously, while students who missed lectures for any reason can make up with video streaming. On the other hand, not everything can be solved by moving online. Businesses in personal services, retail, and food and beverage businesses will suffer under this crisis, as personal interaction is still an essential part of those industries. Although, I suspect delivery platforms such as Amazon and UberEats are likely to see a boom in business as people are confined to their homes. Meanwhile, although some classes can be successfully taught online, specific disciplines are impossible to instruct through the internet. From lab work for chemistry to the arts, these classes must be conducted in person. The closing of campuses would also negatively impact
