Like the words social distanceing, quarantine, lockdown, epidemic, epidemic, online class is now a well-known, well-heard, well-pronounced term. All reliance now on these two words. Because nothing can be said by swearing about how long the sick world will recover and return to its rhythm. So, until the world becomes normal, the foundation of online class is getting stronger keeping in mind the future of the students, it is becoming the only option according to the situation. Not only that, there is also thinking about whether online class can become an alternative to classroom. Surveys are going on, statistics are being scrutinized, calculations are being done.
Undoubtedly, online classes are being taught at home. Courses that were not possible due to the long distances are also struggling to fulfill their dreams today.
On the other hand, even though online classes have become a source of hope for students and teachers in view of the current situation, the question remains, can this really become an alternative?
In my personal experience, taking online classes seemed to satisfy the taste of milk for the first time. Standing in front of the students, keeping an eye on the teaching is different. How understandable it was to see in their eyes and body language. And realizing that, there was a satisfaction or satisfaction in moving on to the next thing. But how much of this is possible in online classes? Yet the world is changing. So it is better for our students to get used to the change that will be useful. But what is the solution to the problem? As much as we dream of a digital India, in many villages in this rural India where having a mobile is a big deal, isn't the dream of an Android mobile illusory?
To take online classes, teachers have to face many kinds of experiences, small, big, difficult, easy, fun. One day I am taking classes in Zoom. I am taking test in class. I have been instructed to keep everyone's video on so that I can understand whether everyone is taking the exam properly or cheating. Everyone's videos were on. But to share the PPT or screen, the students' videos have come one by one on the right side, so not everyone's pictures can be seen. Suddenly I scroll down to see what the other students are doing? That's when I discovered that many of the camera's focus had shifted to the ceiling fan, or to a picture hanging on the wall. I was getting my own smile in my mind.
What do teachers think about online classes? What do students' experiences say? Online class opposite the classroom - which will the students choose?
Is there extra pressure on students for this online class? To find the answers to these questions, I approached teachers, students, parents and psychiatrists.

In the last four and a half months, I have gained a good deal of experience from the teaching profession about online education, which would never have happened without the epidemic.
In this situation this mode of teaching has solved many of our problems. In most cases, I have been able to help students, albeit not completely. And they also cooperated with us as much as possible while sitting at home.
I want to put myself in a middle ground to speak for or against online classes. I am definitely in favor of online classes for the above reasons. And there are some special disadvantages to this. In my personal experience, many of my students live in remote rural areas, where 24-hour electricity is their dream. Although the network is sometimes connected but it is very slow. Mobile full charging is often very difficult.
So to me online classes can never become an alternative to classrooms. I personally believe that if I don't look at the faces of the students, then I will understand how what I am teaching them is swallowed. And how will they or me understand.
Besides, I live in a city where I don't have any network problems, or mobile related issues. But when one of the students says, Madam, my mobile is normal, small. Not Android. Then it is really sad.
I have read in newspapers or online news that how many poor farmers are selling their land and buying mobiles to pay for their children's education, then it is really very difficult. I do not know the solution.
Although it is possible to take classes online, it is not possible to take practicals, which is a special inconvenience for science students. Theory and practical complement each other. So without practicality but the matter remains incomplete. And this is causing special loss to the students.
Statistics show that by 2021, the number of online education paid users in India will increase from 1.6 million to 9.8 million.
So teachers need to make themselves more online friendly, especially those who still have problems. It is very easy to use a friendly platform for students. And yes no parent should have to mortgage or sell jewelry, land to give the child a minimum education!

I strongly opposed Kovid when school-college was closed and everyone started thinking about his alternative - online education. I said how is it possible to study online in this place when we are unable to explain some things to the students even keeping an eye on the students in the classroom? But when all else fails, get acquainted (gain, obtain) with present-day techniques that came from Nineveh. At that time I could not have guessed that online study could be such a success.
While there are a number of students who lack sincerity in their studies, their tendency to cheat in the online study method has increased. Even before, they used to sit in the classroom and cheat. They would sit in class but their minds would fly elsewhere. There are many such students. But those who are students of Cynthia did not have any difficulty. I also saw them making their own notes after listening to the video lecture. If there is one thing they don't understand, they re-watch the video to clear it up. Our college also has an online exam every week. As a result, students are also getting to know their progress through exams. Even after asking, I found out that the students have no complaints about online studies.
But there is still a challenge for us. I am talking about practical paper class. As the name implies, it has to be done by the students standing in the lab, which is not possible in this situation. However, we have a lot of plans and it will start very soon. At the beginning we the teachers will demonstrate various experiments themselves and give the video to the students. Students will at least learn how to do the experiment. Then, when the opportunity arose, I complied with all the rules and taught them in groups of ten or twelve students by hand and pen again. We are hopeful that students will have no difficulty in practical papers like Theory Paper.
However, I never want this medium of study to become more popular. Students' childhood has lost a lot under the pressure of study. Many people today do not know that sports can be done by going to the field in the afternoon. In addition to going to school and studying, they can play games and talk with friends. They will also be deprived of this pleasure if they continue online. They will also be transformed into another machine by sitting near the mobile and computer all day at home.

The situation that has been going on all over the world for a long time has created an unknown fear in the whole country. Everyone is under house arrest in panic today. It must be said that any situation teaches us something. Today in this situation we have learned that the use of masks is essential. I have learned how to keep myself clean by washing my hands and feet.
There is no need to be careful. We have learned from this situation how to keep ourselves healthy with caution and caution.
‘Fear’ weakens the mind. And in this weak body the virus is able to attack easily. So we have to spend our lives with a strong mind.
In the current situation, students are suffering a lot in their studies, it must be admitted. However, there are words - that life is worth millions. Life is priceless. If there is life, there is hope of getting everything. Not today, not tomorrow, the day after tomorrow the sun will rise - one day or another.
I think it is our duty as a teacher to continue the online class without giving up. Because although there are many arguments against online classes, there is no alternative in this situation. If students are removed from the study, it will be more difficult. So we should continue online classes. Students will benefit at least a little.
We can never take the online class as an alternative to the school classroom. Because when we sit face to face in the school classroom, we can understand which student did not understand or which student is having a little difficulty in understanding by looking at the student's face and calling him to him and explaining it again. Which is not possible in online classes. However, if they do some homework, they can keep themselves busy and try.
Most of the parents in our society are not in a good financial position, many students do not have Android phones, so not everyone can take online classes. However, many of those who have an Android phone do not recharge, there are various problems. However, I would say in favor of online classes that if two or five children also benefit from online classes, then we should at least take online classes with these five children in mind.
Seeing the situation, we have to keep pace with it. If you are sitting in despair, it will not work. So no matter what the situation and no matter the difficulty, we have to increase the morale of the children or students through online classes in this way, we have to move forward. And be optimistic that one day all problems will be solved. And we will get back to normal environment, situation.

It seems very natural to study online in this supercomputer of Kovid. Although there can be no comparison to face-to-face classroom teaching like ‘Mushkil Asaner’, there is no such thing as online learning, I think, in view of this horrible time. I was very worried, boy's high class, this time there is no time to waste. Danger when you go out of the house again. In time, the school informed the parents that online teaching would begin. Anxiety descended from his head. Although it was difficult to understand a little bit in the beginning (Technical Glitch, Network Issues etc) gradually everything has become a habit. I am happy as a parent. Although I think there are some disadvantages to studying online. Most of the day you have to watch on the computer screen or Android mobile continuously. It damages the eyes, it is true. Many times it is difficult to understand a concept online. If it was in the classroom, it might have been understood sooner. But online may take a little longer, though not all the time. It is not possible to be as open-minded in the online classroom as the open conversation between students and teachers is in the classroom. There is a problem in that place.
Even so, owning one is still beyond the reach of the average person. By accepting everything, they have extended their hand of cooperation with the teachers. It points to an optimistic future. Hopefully soon we will be freed from the shadow of the Corona crisis. As well as finding the normal rhythm of life.

Everything has its pros and cons. There are also online classes. The good thing is, time is running out. Not having to run to share. Going to study at home. On the other hand, if the internet is weak, it is not possible to watch the video or it is getting late. Or the words get stuck a lot of the time in the live class. Can't hear properly. Sometimes the app hangs. However, I will say that it does not feel bad to take online classes at all. I can watch videos many times in one place. If it is difficult to understand, I see it again and again.
Although I have two options open to me, I will choose the opportunity to study in a college classroom. The fun of teaching teachers sitting in front of us is different. However
