Alison Schaejbe (@shybeeeeee), a 24-year-old kindergarten teacher from Concord, New Hampshire, has gone viral on TikTok for her videos about online learning during COVID-19.

Collectively Alison's hilarious videos have gained over 10.2 million likes, and TikTok users are applauding her endless enthusiasm and humor while teaching.

She told Newsflare: "I've been teaching for two years now, and I've kind of been doing a mix of online and 'hybrid' teaching all year this year. Hybrid means that the students come to school in person for two days a week, then on their other two days, they're on the computer with a 'catch up day' on Wednesdays to allow for teacher meetings.

"We went fully online for about two and a half months due to the high number of coronavirus cases from November until last week.

"During online learning, my students were absolutely incredible. At only five years old, they were resilient, hard-working, independent, and flexible.

"I have to thank their age for part of this. In kindergarten, students are so excited to come to school and learn that they love learning on the computer with their friends. I think learning on the computer also kept them connected with their peers and friends. Some forming friendships with students they had only ever met through the computer.

"I also have to thank my school for providing me an amazing support system to get through online learning. I don't think online learning is the best way to teach students at any age, but teachers and students have gotten so creative over the past year to learn how to stay connected and continue learning through the pandemic."
