Who would have thought that teaching online would become so common? Due to the pandemic, schools have gone digital with their classes and are now looking for teachers who are tech-friendly or can adapt to the technology quickly to teach online.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

According to a survey, 82% of the teachers are teaching online today for the first time. Most of them have been facing issues like a lack of appropriate materials and resources, technical problems, lack of in-service training, difficulty in assembling all the students for the class, lack of cooperation from the parents and so on. Therefore, upskilling for teachers has become a must in today\u2019s time.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

Teaching online is not as easy as talking to friends and family on WhatsApp or video calling on Skype. To be able to teach online and conduct a class is a big deal. Teachers today need to equip themselves with the 21st-century teaching skills and cope with the new-age advancements in technology.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n

How the Pandemic has Affected Teachers and Their Teaching Patterns<\/span><\/strong><\/h3>\n

These unprecedented times have changed the dynamics of the education sector and opened new grounds for teachers where they can adopt the virtual environment. It has been quite a journey for teachers and students to get accustomed to this virtual training and learning pattern, not only in India but across the globe. Thousands of schools and teachers are working towards creating a friendly and comfortable learning atmosphere with the help of technology.<\/span><\/p>\n

While interviewing some teachers, we saw the real-life example of Mr. Anshuman Sharma who is a government teacher by profession. With over 30 years of experience in teaching, when he was asked to conduct classes online due to the pandemic, it was quite a challenge for him. In his words, \u201cI have been teaching students for the past 30 years but when I was told that I need to run classes digitally, it was quite uncomfortable for me. As I have been teaching in a typical classroom setup for my entire career, I am not confident about the whole process of online teaching. It would be good to have some sort of training or guidance for teachers so that they can learn how to conduct online classes\u201d.<\/span><\/p>\n
