My teaching experiences during corona pandemic

I am working as an SGT in MPUP school Chagallu, Nekarikallu mandal of Guntur District.

COVID-19 pandemic has added some challenges to teachers and to their jobs. In our state Andhra Pradesh the SCERT-AP has taken some daring decisions to deal with Corona pandemic as well as to ensure teaching learning continue further; and no loss of academic year.

To continue with the guidelines framed by the authorities, Government and the SCERT, we had started teaching online. Vidyavarathi program is very much useful for the children and under this program I used to bring the children to school for one or two hours, and if parents think that their child doesn't have immunity, we motivated the  parents to come to the school and get the doubts  clarified by the teachers and convey the same to the child. Actually very few parents used to come to us.

An expert group taught the lessons in Doordarshan Vidyavarathi program, for which we submitted weekly workdone statements for that particular week, lessons telecast on DD SAPTAGIRI,target class and some student experiences and other details. I am very fortunate to get the opportunity to teach the lessons on DD SAPTAGIRI under Vidyavarathi program.

This pandemic has taken us to new dimensions. We dealt with training to create Diksha e Content Creation at state, district as well as division level. I was resource person for this training. Here we learnt a lot how to create assessments on diksha platform, how to create videos, video editing techniques, audio techniques etc and we applied the same and prepared the videos also. 

I am very happy that I have created and edited some videos during this training. Now we are confident enough that we can create effective videos to make classroom environment vibrant. I feel these tools will be helpful for better understanding, concept learning etc for the students community.
