As schools don’t have smart classrooms, teachers use apps on their phones to show lessons written on the blackboard
MYSURU: Teachers at eight government schools in Gundlupet, Chamarajanagar district, have volunteered to launch online classes for children from poor families and tribal communities. As the schools don’t have smart classrooms or full-fledged videoconferencing facilities, teachers stand in front of the blackboard and switch on commonly available apps such as Google Meet on their mobile phones.
Nirmala R, who teaches Kannada and science at Government Higher Primary School in Doddahundi, has been holding classes in this manner since the first week of July.
