How many of us know that Zoom, Google Meet, Zoho Meet, Skype etc could also be used to teach the students?
It must be noted that these digital platforms are now utilized effectively by the teachers in the virtual classrooms. The lock down done to prevent the spread Corona virus has made the students and teachers take to online or virtual classes.
The students even in the regular school room classes cannot be controlled by the teachers and many teachers find it very difficult. In the virtual classrooms, the schools have been coming up with rules and etiquette from being punctual and looking neat to maintaining silence and order at the classrooms.
As per the principal of Chettinaud Hari Shree Vidyashram, Gowri Sivashankar, online learning is new and challenging. She explained about how the teachers cannot offer the same kind of interaction with the students just like they do in the normal classrooms. Point is for the school students to take the online classes seriously, it is important to have a proper strategy and school like environment must be created.
According to Vel�s International School principal, Bharathi Lakshmi, 15 minutes before the start of the virtual classes, the kids must be ready in their seats. She explained about how tardiness is being monitored by the parents. Maintaining neatness and hygiene is very essential for the students in the virtual classrooms.
The teachers take attendance at the beginning of the classes and at the end the list is marked to all parents. Written explanations must be sent by those who do not attend these virtual classes.
It is important to note that the children must keep water bottles with them and should not take frequent and unnecessary breaks. The students get intervals of 5 to 10 minutes after each class. These online classes are making the students more responsible now.
