COVID-19 and technology use by teenagers: A case study

The impact of the COVID-19 pandemic on regular life across the world has changed teenagers' use of technology. Through this case study, the author analyzed, reported, and reflected on personal experience of a shift in technology use during the COVID-19 pandemic. There are two parts of this case study. The first part highlights the new technology used in five inside-of-school activities, including classroom learning, group projects, dance tutorials, environmental club, and affinity group. The second part describes six outside-of-school actions that utilized technology, such as homework assignments, online test preparation, virtual workouts, listening to music, picking up hobbies, and interacting with peers. Based on the reflections on the author's first-hand experiences, adjustments at the personal, school, and society level are discussed.
