Teachers Greatest Ever Challenge - ONLINE TEACHING
Finally it's end of a joyful Sunday; the day on which
you live to the fullest with all the liberty. Sunday is a mere day to
take a break from all your professional responsibilities rather, a day
where you can spend your time with your family and you can interact with
your loved ones. It's the day to Live for Yourself. Sunday is probably
loved the most by everyone and so by me. But finally it's the end of the
beautiful Sunday and it's time to get back to the bed; get yourself
ready for the next challenging week.
Usually,
with the beginning of Monotonous Monday everyone sets back to their
respective professional work. But during this hard time, things have
changed drastically. Some need to step out of their house with the
motive to earn money, while some strictly follow the agenda of: Work
From Home in a Smart and Better way. But here, I would like to draw your
attention towards one of the leading servants of society - A TEACHER.
Alarm strikes at 6 o'clock sharp. It's time to get ready
for the long and challenging day rather a week; which has many
provocating tasks. This period is such that teaches many things to even a
Teacher and helps seeking varied experiences of Life.
During
these days of Pandemic, many things have changed, so does the Pattern of
teaching. No schools, no coaching, and the best thing which can build
the society - 'EDUCATION' seems to have taken a break. Due to the
outbreak of Corona virus and it's rapid spread, social distancing has
become a mandatory factor to sustain life. So there's no hope of
resuming the school or coaching sooner or later. Though, Educators
aren't ready to give up. They are quite confident to switch to online
mode within no time. Apparently it's seems so easy to switch to online
mode but reality is something so different and difficult initially.
Let's just summaries a single day of life of Teacher during this
Pandemic.
They
wake up, freshen up themselves and get ready for the Lectures. Chancing
upon risk to their own life, some travel to schools to take Online
Lectures from there while majority faculties prefer Work From Home
agenda. Initially, all the educators struggled a lot as they had to
think and do something unusual which they never had dealt with. Young
Teachers didn't panic more as they are befriend of technology and
basically a Mobile Zombie; but here goes a contrasting fact! They too
struggled during all that learning process. Meanwhile, the teachers who
are 35+ or aren't mobile friendly found it difficult to deal with all
such gadgets and technology altogether. Yes it was a very clumsy
situation of life for all the Educators. But Above all, their main goal
was to educate the young minds and prove the world that every difficult
situation has a positive alternate. They actually decided to impart
knowledge either by hook or by crook. They can't give up. They won't
give up. They ain't having any other source to earn and to lead their
life during this hard times. They must have to look after their families
and if They won't work, then Who? And if they won't teach, then who'll
make a better society for the world? They are having many reasons to
work and so without taking the absurd tasks negatively, Teachers started
to update themselves positively and got ready to update the world by
introducing the new way of learning, with the new way of teaching.
They strongly started believing the motto:
'The greater the difficulty, the more glory in surmounting it. Skillful pilots gain their reputation from storms and tempests.'
The Burning Fire within them to Educate the Young Minds, cannot be dimmed by any Bad Breaks; Kudos to them!

Words feel short to explain those emotions. It's clumsy and so frustrating. But, Smiling Face and Positive Attitude towards work makes TEACHER - A KIND OF WONDER OF THE WORLD. Through my words I don't mean that online teaching isn't interesting. It is, but one needs to make it interesting. There are always two sides of a coin. So Online teaching is having its own Pros and Cons. While Teaching with screen sharing, one can use different colour markers on a blank screen and make things look attractive which captivates students' mind to increase eagerness. One should keep writing something like main words or draw the situation to make them understand the concept easily. It can help us to keep them attentive because students love to study topics with animated concepts and tricks. So screen sharing isn't a problem, rather update yourself and make it look interesting.
While dealing on the board during online class which I prefer personally while teaching Mathematics or Science. Yeah it's difficult to keep teaching when no Student is present physically in front of you. That silence in the classroom kills me everyday. Rather that silence hurts many Teachers. It's good to deal with such Subjects on the board. Just because one can get freedom to express ourselves and it's great to solve mathematical problems on the board. It makes Students feel that Teacher is actually present in front of them physically and that's where they won't get bored watching you on screen and will resist weavering of mind. Interacting with them helps Teacher judge whether they are attentive or not.
It's hard to teach in that manner because Teachers love their Students. They feel alive when they see their Students sitting in front of them and listening to them. Yes it happens something during regular days that students don't feel like to study at school. Teachers sometimes indulge in a quarrel with students. But yeah it's fine it's part of life. But that Student-Teacher relation, that bond is beautiful.
We miss our former and secure life. Let us hope and pray that world soon get normal and everything resumes as it was earlier. And Students and Teachers again get united in the Classroom and those beautiful moments goes on one more time.
