One of the biggest changes around us was the complete shift to online education. As schools and colleges shut down in the beginning of March, all of them made the transition to online. For hundreds of teachers across the country, the lockdown didn’t just mean they were stuck inside their homes, it also meant they had to suddenly learn all about ‘Zoom classes’ and online learning. Teachers, who have been used to the blackboard and chalk all their lives, now had to create excel sheets and learn to ‘share screen’.
While this led to the growth of India’s edtech startups, it also led to hilarious confusions between teachers and students where the only words heard were “mute yourself!”
