7 Simple ways of online teaching and few approaches-

- "Our ability to handle life's challenges is a measure of our strength of character". - Les Brown

The entire world has embraced technology for imparting education. This is a sudden approach without any plan, this was important to continue the learning process.

It is not as easy as we think of in reality unless sufficient familiarity in terms of its applications is found. Parents should have a little experience and confidence in basic technology, at least smartphone operational technology. All the people who own a smartphone does not mean that they know to operate it as well. Many of them are using only the basic phone features such as calling, messaging, photo and video.

Moreover, the online mode of the class seems to be the toughest approaches in nature, but once proper support is given to the teachers and parents, this can become an easy mode of teaching and learning.

Below are some easy and most effective ways of the online class:

1. Very careful selection of online material: The regular textbook which we use, is published with a multi-level quality check in terms of the authenticity of the content. There are many experts involved in selection of the textbook topics. But when it comes to online, we need to be careful if the Video, lesson or topic which we are sharing with our students, comes from an authentic source.

· 2. Recording the lecture: It is very important to record the lecture and make accessible to the respective students in the form of videos instead of streaming it –as students would be more flexible in terms of understanding the subject matters because it allows students to replay video and watch it again and again till they understand properly. The live lecture also cannot be denied, it has its own advantage in a different angle.

· 3. Face-visual video: When we talk about video, there comes two types such as textual video and person recorded video. But, a person recorded video is more effective than textual video.

· 4. The short duration of video: It is important to mind about the duration of videos, long duration of videos might be difficult in downloading. The idea of a short video (5 min) is for the students’ accessibility of the videos without waste of time. It's an inclusive way of technology interaction, as we cannot expect same level of phone capacity and internet bandwidth with every child.

· 5. Specific topic with most relevant examples: Topic should be very specific and clear, multi-topics with numerous evidence is not effective in an online class because students might not be able to grasp the topic clearly in short duration of videos, hence the target of a specific topic with minimum learning goals is highly recommended.

· 6. Most clear and precise uses of language and terms: The simple language should be used. The recorded video should be rechecked properly before being released, as it will give an opportunity for corrections if any. This way a quality learning material can be produced.

7. The content errors should be avoided to the fullest extent: Teaching with multiple errors might cause misconception about the topic. The online class is not termed as inclusive because the students‘ questioning space is excluded. If we are using the chat option for interaction during the class, then it can be termed as little inclusive.

These are some core points to be noted while you are teaching online classes or creating online classes teaching-learning material. We must keep in mind the above points, to make sure that a very authentic material is provided to the students.

Currently, in the pandemic situation, we have very few options available to continue the education, majorly we have an online mode of teaching. However, the concept of the online mode of the class has been emerged by elite groups and most privileged parents today which might have different kinds of issues related to the access and technologies based on the variations of contexts and family background.

So, the idea of the online mode of the class can’t be inclusive if we look at the challenges and demands to connect online from home. Although, as far need of the hour online mode of the class has become most preferred and aspired option by large sections of parents except most underprivileged parents during this COVID19 pandemic in order to carry on education for the children.

What Your Child Needs Most From You as a Parent:

- > Parents often feel trapped in a cycle of buying educational toys and enforcing strict daily routines. > In reality, true childhood development comes down to three human essentials that money cannot buy. > Modern parents face constant pressure to optimize every hour of their child's day with schedules and gadgets. > Real emotional growth happens simply through connection, space to discover, and a calm presence in moments of chaos. The Three Invisible Essentials of Early Childhood Modern parents are overwhelmed with endless advice, conflicting philosophies, and endless product recommendations. In the rush to optimize every moment of our children's lives, we risk missing the core elements that actually build confidence and emotional security. The truth is, young children do not need perfectly structured days or the latest gadgets; they need three essential, human experiences that only a responsive parent can provide. 1. Intention 2. Commitment 3. Puttin...

Seven key differences between Parenting in India and Dutch:

- A Dutch mother, Ivana, recently shared her experiences living in Mumbai for nine years, highlighting seven key differences between parenting in India. She emphasises that neither approach is "better" or "worse," but rather they involve different trade-offs. Key Differences in Parenting: According to her viral reflections on [Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/reel/DWJv7RLDM-z/), the primary contrasts include: * Community vs. Solo Marathon: In the Netherlands, parenting often feels like a "solo marathon". In Mumbai, she experiences a "real village" where family, neighbours, and the building community are always available to help. * Independence vs. Interdependence: Dutch culture raises children to be "fierceley independent," such as cycling to school alone at age eight. Indian parenting focuses on interdependence and being part of a larger, supportive system. * Child-Friendly Public Spaces: She notes that children in India are acce...

If you are in your office more than 2 hours without walking, you are not leading the school. You are managing paperwork:

- A school is not run from a desk. It is led from the corridors. In business they call it MBWA — Management By Walking Around. In schools we call it the Walking Headteacher Principle. The best heads are never hidebound in the office. An office-bound head hears reports about the school. A walking head sees the real school. Why You Must Walk: 1. You See The Invisible Child From your office you only see the naughty child who is sent to you. When you walk at break, at toilet time, in the library, you see the quiet child alone, the bullied child, the hungry child. The child who will never knock on your office door. That 2-minute eye contact in the corridor can save a life. 2. You Kill Problems When They Are Small Office head: Hears about a fight after it happened. Walking head: Sees the push, the swear word, the group forming in the corner, and stops it with a "Hello, boys, everything okay?" before it becomes a fight. Discipline drops by 30-40% just by visible presence. 3. Staff ...

The final two steps — Analyse and Prevent — are where institutional improvement happens:

- A parent sends a message at 9:00 in the morning: “My child’s notebook has not been checked properly for the last two weeks.” Nobody responds. At 1:00 PM, the parent sends another message. Still no clear response. The next morning, the parent calls reception. Reception says: “We will inform the coordinator.” The coordinator is busy. Another day passes. By the third day, the original notebook issue is no longer the real problem. Now the parent is angry because: Nobody listened Nobody took ownership Nobody communicated Nobody gave a timeline Nobody closed the issue A small academic concern has become a trust problem. This is how many school complaints escalate. Not because the original issue was impossible to solve. Because the school did not have a system to detect, own, resolve, and close the issue early. Strong schools should not only have a Complaint Handling System. They should have a Parent Complaint Prevention System. The objective is different. Complaint handling asks: “How...

(Reframing behavioral challenges into opportunities) - The 'C-DOO' Framework: Redefining Child Behavior from Connection to Ownership:

- C-DOO Framework—Connection, Discipline, Obedience, and Ownership Introduction: Child development and behavior explain how children grow, learn, and express their inner experiences from birth through adolescence. Research shows that early childhood experiences form the literal blueprint for a child’s lifelong brain structure, emotional health, and learning capacity. Modern studies focus heavily on early brain plasticity, the impact of screen time, and how chronic stress affects a child's development. Researchers are also discovering that children learn self-regulation primarily through calm co-regulation with the trusted adults around them. Understanding these scientific insights gives parents and teachers a clear lens to interpret childhood actions accurately. Instead of viewing challenging behavior as simple defiance, adults can recognize it as a signal of unmet needs or incomplete skill development. This shift in perspective helps parents respond with supportive gu...

The man who had never occupied a school desk spent nearly 11 years trying to build a classroom large enough for an entire republic:

Snippets: - In 1948, Azad appointed the University Education Commission under S Radhakrishnan. Its work helped shape the University Grants Commission, constituted in 1953, and later given statutory status in 1956. - Maulana Abul Kalam Azad's story is one of self-learning, nation-building, and institutions like IITs and AIIMS that he helped set up, that continue to shape generations of Indians. - Azad served as India's education minister from August 1947 until his death in February 1958. During his tenure, India established IIT Kharagpur, the UGC, the University and Secondary Education Commissions, the Indian Council for Cultural Relations (ICCR) etc - During his tenure, the central education budget rose from roughly Rs 2 crore to more than Rs 30 crore. - Azad did not see higher education as the privilege of the elites. He described basic education as the birthright of every individual and pressed for free and compulsory schooling, adult literacy, teacher training and greater...

School Operations Manual:

- A school is a complex organization where multiple activities should co-ordinate in sync. Each stake holder - Management, Teacher, Students, Parents and supportive staff, everyone has an important role to play. All these stake holders need to know their job, roles and responsibilities, and also the structure, policy and procedure of their work. Thus a team has come up with a 'school operations manual' to support schools in designing their school policies and procedures, which will help to strengthen the school system. This manual outlines the significant policies and procedures covering a wide spectrum of activities in a school, starting from affiliation, curriculum planning, extra-curricular activities, value education, school administration, statutory compliances, HR, etc. The core objective of this manual is to communicate, describe and help in implementing the best practices, policies and procedures so as to bring standardisation in our schools through collaboration.

Every Child’s Mind Can Grow: How We Learned to Protect and Nurture Young Minds:

- For a long time, people believed that children were born with a set amount of intelligence that could never really change. If a child struggled to learn, it was often assumed to be something they were simply born with. Psychologist J. McVicker Hunt changed that mindset forever. He showed the world that a young child’s brain is not set in stone—it is flexible, growing, and deeply affected by the world around them. What a child hears, sees, and experiences in their earliest years can completely shape how their mind develops. ## What Happens When Young Minds Miss Out ? Hunt paid close attention to what happens when children grow up in tough environments without enough learning tools, books, or warm, interactive attention. He discovered that children raised without these basic early opportunities fell far behind in thinking and learning skills—not because they weren't capable, but because their brains were starving for stimulation. The most vital part of his discovery, however, was ...
