Role Of TEACHER In LOCKDOWN

At a time when India is under lockdown,

online teaching has become the new
reality. It came as a boon to the students
who otherwise would have lost valuable
time for studies. All educational
institutions are busy creating their online
study modules which incorporate subject
knowledge, fun, games, performing arts,
physical education and even counseling.

Teachers, students and parents are all
grappling with this radical transition from
the blackboard and smart boards to virtual
classes. The catchword for all the schools is
to offer modules that are engaging, flexible
and high on quality. However, this change
also came with its fair share of challenges
like poor internet connectivity, users not
following instructions, training of teachers
and updating their skills online and so on.

But it’s a matter of pride to watch the
teaching faculty adapt and adopt this new
way of teaching. These online classes
mimic a real classroom and teachers have
been able to provide an enhanced learning
experience to the students with their real
time interactions, videos, worksheets,
assignments and assessments. As
educators there is much more to learn and
explore about online teaching but as we do
that we can ensure that learning continues.
