    1. Many online students choose to take fewer courses at a time and may take semesters off to accommodate other aspects of their lives like taking care of children or work responsibilities –

      which i do agree with more online classes for college students because its more of a life things with us . But can you learn how you did in your younger days?

    2. Now, many educators are reassessing how virtual learning can further enhance the student experience by offering greater flexibility than in-class options

      I agree with the flexibility in the class option . kids between k-12 needs to be in classes , It helps with so many things other than learning.

    1. This can result in poor performance of the students. This challenges teachers to make their lessons engaging, to motivate their students to focus on the lesson. He also mentioned hidden costs and complicated technology.

      i feel like online can only be to a certain extent . Because for the kids that have special needs what are you doing with them ?

    2. We regard human beings as social beings.

      This is what i worry about , a lot of the kids wont even be social to each other or even know how to communicate because of the more screen time they engage in. and how muc they are not use to it.

    3. Second, training for teachers is necessary. The pandemic happened in the middle of the school year.

      Training for what? i feel like you cant prepare for things like covid

    1. watched for years as college and university courses were increasingly taught online instead of face to face,

      and i feel like this is for reasons because some colleges have forty plus kids in one class

    2. During the pandemic, the variety of students learning online “absolutely increased,”

      I find this very false, Some things just need t be learned in a classroom. depending on what you are taking into consideration

    3. Just as with studies of the effectiveness of online education for students in kindergarten through 12th grade, much of the prepandemic research

      I feel like the online effected kids these days so bad. Especially the kids kids that just had started school

    1. Based on the current estimates, the combined financial loss of the clubs from NFL, MLB, NBA and NHL is expected to be above 6.8bn dollars in gate receipts alone.

      So , the apps such as ESPN+ or all the or all the other apps didnt give the teams any of the shares ?

    2. The authors forecast the 2020 revenue for each of the four major leagues under two scenarios: (1) expected revenue under the normal conditions of fans in attendance and (

      I dont understand why it would go down if , its the same as paying to go inside a game .

    3. e focus on the missed revenue from gate receipts for the Big Four leagues.

      So they knew it was a big thing in 2019 , they could have shut down faster and gave sports time to try get more situated with everything.

    4. Therefore, we estimate the industry level loss under such circumstances to be over 6.8bn dollars, assuming that the leagues will not collect any gate receipts for the remainder of the season.

      after those seasons was canceled, and games were made up did they make any to little as much of that money back?

    5. The results show that the expected gate receipts without the COVID-19 pandemic would have been above $40.79bn across the four leagues, but the new estimates without the fans is going to be only about $33.98bn

      Do the team not make earnings from the apps ( ESPN+, Direct tv, fire tv) etc?

    6. Estimates show that the pandemic caused by COVID-19 has negatively affected the $160bn sports industry due to missed games, broadcast revenue, gate revenues and salary obligations (Futterman et al., 2020).

      People couldn't go to games , or didn't feel safe enough to go. even if people did go it was a sprinkle still not enough to make their usually amount.

    1. paper reviews the effects of COVID-19 on sport entrepreneurship and challenges existing research assumptions that were made prior to the COVID-19 pandemic occurring.

      I think paper view went Up alot because of covid , people had no other choice but to pay.

    2. Other ways to strengthen the network amongst sport entrepreneurs is to actively engage in social media.

      yess during covid, social media got even bigger because people were home doing nothing so it turned them into social media.

    3. Sport managers are open-minded towards working with other sport organisations especially in times of crisis.

      i think if its a world wide shut down the other sports, would be a great idea for people to come together and make more money

    4. The COVID-19 crisis has fundamentally changed society,

      i agree. we look at things way different now and it change sports and the way we view it forever.

    1. Over the last decade, tens of millions of households have stopped paying for television packages.

      I mentioned this in my last annotation. Cable is not what people want no more, its to expensive for all those channels people don't watch . but why? So are the providers still getting paid ? and how?

    2. Regional sports networks consistently command some of the largest fees, typically a few dollars per month.

      so is regional sports all one big thing ? does it connect with the tv apps as well. Is it like having cable ?

    3. Roughly 80 million households in the United States pay for some sort of television package — whether cable, satellite or what is called “virtual multichannel video”

      I know my house recently canceled cable because all of the different apps you can now watch live tv on and so many games stream on.

    1. Then, the couple discovered another major drawback of VR dating: Hanging out with someone in VR may seem close to the real thing, but it’s just not the same.

    2. It’s kind of bad because I don’t think people realize that technically you’re not alone, but you are alone,”

      meaning ? someone is always watching you. This takes me back to the google video we watched. It droves people crazy.

    3. VR regulars I spoke with described metaverse friend groups that were Gordian knots of romantic tension, with different people hooking up every day

      Meteverse is used more for its gaming aspect, although a meterverse dating site or a way to find love would be good.

    1. Mr. Zuckerberg cautioned that building the metaverse would be a money-losing proposition with little promise of early returns. Still, it has taken much longer than he anticipated. In recent months, Mr. Zuckerberg and his lieutenants have spent more time talking up Meta’s expertise in A.I., though he has bristled at the notion that the metaverse is no longer his focus.

      I dont think a waste of money, the A.I of the meteverse would go together with gaming with apple ? maybe together

    2. Apple has done this before. Eventual hits like the iPod, iPhone and Apple Watch started in niche markets that grew into big businesses.

      is the apple products getting closure to the metaverse?

    3. Apple Is Stepping Into the Metaverse. Will Anyone Care?

      i feel like people would love this collab because people already love apple . I feel like apple come out with new things but this is a big thing right now because metaverse is big.

    1. On the other hand, while the big tech money has started moving into generative AI, a lot of marketing hype (and money) has already been wrapped up in selling the idea of “the metaverse.”

      Is AI starting to enter the metaverse world? i don't thing the AI could do much for this world. i think the marketing is only going up because the thought of it .

    2. This inconvenient fact has given rise to slightly different terminology. Now many companies or advocates instead refer to any single game or platform as “a metaverse.” By this definition, anything from a VR concert app to a video game would count as a “metaverse.”

      I think inventing the VR for video games actually helped the game a lot. The metaverse is a big thing and the game "fornite" to me helped come a long way

    1. Our mission is to share the history of the sport,” Barbieri said. “Our mission is to be able to celebrate that history and inspire fans everywhere and to paywall that just doesn't seem quite right.”

      They feel like since the world is evolving they need to evolving they self and their students should to .
