Image Of Teacher Using Refrigerator Tray To Teach Classes Online, Is Going Viral

Education of students has been hit tremendously because of the coronavirus pandemic and the subsequent lockdown. Even though online classes are taking place in both urban and rural areas, not everyone has access to the internet or proper tools - students as well a teachers - especially in tier 2, tier 3 cities of the country.

Teaching a number of students online is a challenge for the teachers, and to deal with that, some of them have come up with ingenious jugaads. An image showing a teacher conducting a class online, has gone viral, and it highlights her ingenuity.

Twitter

She is seen using a refrigerator tray to rest her phone, and teaching by writing on a paper placed underneath the tray. Since the tray is transparent, the students can see what is being written on the paper, clearly, and at the same time it holds the phone steadily in place; the tray is propped up on two containers. This too can qualify for a DIY tripod or a DIY Cuboid Pod?

This is how some people reacted to the image:

This is indeed a very simple but great idea.

Sad state of teachers in this country schools haven't provided proper equipments to them , I wonder how many tier 2 n 3 city teachers have quality smart phones or laptops , and paucity of digital literacy along with meagre pay ...won't be surprised if children learn shoddy stuff

Previously, an image of a teacher using a chair and a hanger to make a DIY tripod to hold her phone, went viral. The makeshift tripod was setup in front of a blackboard on which she was writing.

Both these examples highlight the simple yet genius hacks by teachers that can even help others. At the same time, they also shed light on the difficulties being faced by them, now that teaching methodologies have been compelled to evolve.
