(Picture credit: Kunal Patil) The photo of a Mumbai-based teacher using a refrigerator tray to conduct a virtual class was widely shared on social media as an example of how educators have been forced to come up with innovations due to the pandemic. Jeyaishwari R Nadar, a mathematics teacher, said that she just wanted to be able to explain things to her students as they watched her solve problems.
Nadar, who teaches at the Gandhi Memorial English High School in Matunga, was photographed conducting a class with the mobile phone on a refrigerator tray, which in turn was balanced on two containers.
“I thought a transparent material would do the job, to keep my phone on it so that I can solve and explain the problems at the same time,” said Nadar, who teaches students in the fifth and sixth grade.
