ADAPTING TO THE NEW AGE DEMANDS- ONLINE CLASSES

Reaching out to make a difference has always paid us rich dividends, be it at school or in an e-classroom. 1st April 2020 flagged off a new session with a difference. It was time to embrace all possible challenges as the teachers set about building an extraordinary connect with the Pre Schoolers taking the help of well-developed learning modules, hands-on learning activities and self-created video and audio clips to engage the kids constructively. Active online sessions through Google Hang Out Meet were held for the little ones where teachers brought about highly innovative and creative ways to deliver concepts, values, vocabulary and multifarious skills using self-created puppets, toys, games, puzzles, activity sheets and making use of objects readily available at home. Recitation and story sessions brought life into the online sessions which became clearly evident from a pool of videos and pictures of students, shared by the parents
