CHALLENGE:

Due to this ongoing pandemic of coronavirus. The academics is  forced to move online for safety of the students and teachers since  social distancing is quiet not possible in schools and also we can’t risk  the lives of these little budding individuals who are going to be the  future of the nation. The problem with moving academics online is  more difficult in rural areas then in urban areas due to lack of  technology and connectivity and also due to financial difference  between the two regions. The students in urban areas have started  attending online classes because the services are available to them  but the problem is to find a innovative way to keep pupils learning  during coronavirus lockdown.

SELECTION OF TOOL:

An innovative way to continue academics during lockdown was to  use speakers with pre-recorded lessons. This solution was more  feasible as every student could get to learn maintaining social  distancing in open spaces as speakers can be placed in any open area  and could be audible to all at once and also due to less no of  students.

APPLICATION:

The teachers used to pre-record lectures and would join students in  an open largely spaced area (Eg- The school ground) to answer their  doubts and watch over them. The speakers were brought on rent  through a local shop. The speakers were placed at favorable  locations where they were audible to all. Children would gather  round and start their lesson. The speakers were kept on chairs.  When it is turned on, students would repeat and learn, narrate

stories, recite poems. The speaker was like a teacher for the  students. The classes included English language lessons, social skills   and also the regular school curriculum. The students would come  hurriedly bring their notebooks and textbooks along with them and  also they were joined by their siblings such was the level of  enthusiasm, passion and excitement among the students. Circles  were marked for social distancing. The teachers and students strictly  observed social distancing protocols. This all was possible due to  small amount of students.

INSIGHT:

The coronavirus pandemic has hugely disrupted education across the  globe. This was an innovative way so that students continue their  education during such difficult time as well and this pandemic would  not put a break in their education and development. As schools were  closed for much longer time. And for children who live in rural areas  without access to electricity, laptops, net connectivity etc this was an  important step undertaken by the local education institutes and NGO  to continue education for these children. Showing that where there’s  a will to learn, there’s a way.

APPROACH:

A way of improvement of current tool could be using Audio and  Video lectures instead of just audio lectures. These audio and videos  lectures would be shown on projection screen. The teachers could  also use PPTs, add images, videos etc for better understanding of  topic. Audio and Video lecture would be more feasible as they have  far less limitations than just audio lectures.
