New Delhi Municipal Council (NDMC) on Friday announced to start online teaching for its students studying in Navyug schools. The civic body has asked teachers to conduct at least four classes daily online using YouTube, Zoom App etc.
A senior official said that the NDMC has issued certain guidelines andt teacherscan also share audio and video lessons on WhatApp group created for the purpose.
Talking about the objective of launching online classes, the official said that this will engage students in meaningful learning activities during these trying times. “Under the online teaching students are asked to forward the photograph of the work done and the concerned teacher summarises important points and clarify doubts after going through such submissions,” he said, adding that this will not only provide them with an opportunity to begin the new session with guided academics but also give them much needed confidence. “The Corona virus pandemic has posed a great challenge also for all of students, teachers and education administration. Keeping it in view, the urgent need to create the best possible learning environment for our students, NDMC has taken the move,” he said. “As a first step all class teachers have created class and section wise ‘WhatsApp groups’ for all classes. An academic group has also been created for overall implementation, guidance and supervision of the other groups,” he said.
“The assignments are being given date and subject wise. Further, a record of the work done by the students will be kept by the teachers, which will be later used for internal assessment,” he added.
The civic body has already promoted students from 1st to 8th and instructions regarding promotion of the students of class 9th and 11th are being given in next few days.
