Hi, Dania! I understand you very well. As a research assistant, I can tell you that such feelings arise not only for you but for everyone nowadays, especially during the lockdown. I think you should try to take breaks from time to time to work on your study projects. For example, you might try doing yoga, meditating, or going for a walk. Also, watch your sleep: you need at least 8 hours of sleep a night to feel good. I also advise you to set priorities, to focus only on the things that are important and interesting for you. If you realize that you do not have time to do something, you can ask your classmates, consult professionals (you can read more about it here) or find answers in some educational blogs on the Internet. In any case, remember that you should always keep a balance between study and rest. I hope my advice will help you solve your problem.

I think technology, on the contrary, allows students to learn faster. For example, I really like the collection of materials for chemistry lessons at the Khan Academy. It's great)

Hi Dania, 

I would recommend having the students do more hands-on activities with their cameras on. As a tutor here at a school, I personally like to have the students do hands-on activities rather than having them work on a website. The students can angle their cameras where they have to put their cameras to their hands. Also, having the students do this will decrease the possibility of them cheating or getting distracted by other websites. A student can easily open different tabs. Try maybe doing more activities that do not require their computers other than to communicate with you virtually.
