The lockdown followed by COVID-19 pandemic locked pretty much all of us inside our houses. Several employers permitted their staff to work from house and classes went on the internet. However, for the students from the rural location, on the internet classes became a hurdle mainly because of non-availability of smartphones and connectivity.
To overcome the difficulty, quite a few teachers from rural schools came up with one of a kind tips to teach their student. In a single such case, Satara primarily based teacher Balaji Jadhav came up with the notion of teaching his students by means of conference calls. Jadhav has won HBN Creativity & Inclusive Award for his ‘lockdown teaching’ innovation.
Jadhav began teaching by means of conference calling from April 2020, mainly because his students had basic keypad phones, and the web is a important challenge in Satara. Jadhav would get in touch with 10 students in a single conference get in touch with in the morning and evening. He has 40 students in his college.
At the starting of lockdown, he used to inform stories in the morning session and in the evening session the identical story would be narrated by students. Now Jadhav is converting educational subjects in story format and teaching by means of that, so listening gets interested. After that, he asked students to create down the stories narrated on the telephone get in touch with.
In 1.5 month his students have been skilled in writing and narrating the stories.
Then he went a single step ahead and asked students to record the stories and now there 500 such students recorded stories offered.
