3. Introduction COVID-19 is a disease which is very common now a days and spreading rapidly.  'CO' stands for corona, 'VI' for virus, and 'D' for disease. Formerly, this disease was referred to as '2019 novel corona virus' or 2019-nCoV. It is basically a virus which is transmitted from one infected person to other normal persons. This virus may survive on the surfaces for several hours, but cleansing agent, sanitizers, and some antibiotics can kill it.

4. As we know that COVID-19 is spreading all around the world. This virus start spreading from China city Wuhan and now it is common all across the world. Many people have been died and many are in the quarantine due to this epidemic. So, there is a complete lockdown in all counties. Pakistan is also facing many problems due to this epidemic. All schools, colleges and universities are closed since mid of March till now. Our education system is totally changed due to this pandemic. Now, education is totally based on online system.

5. Means and Ways to approach target students Whatsapp. Zoom app. Google Classroom. Skype. E-mail. Proof Hub. Drop box. Etc. Online communication tools are also very effective to teach special students’ or students’ who have learning disabilities.

6. Medium to be used for communication with students

7. Tele School is also a best way to get education in Lock down. It is free and convenient for those who have no internet facility.

8. Type of Assessment in Online Classes Formative Assessment: Formative assessment happens during the lecture. In Formative Assessment teachers assess his/her own self as well as students’. Summative Assessment: Summative Assessment is that assessment which happens at the end of lecture. For example: In online classes when teacher take online quiz on Google Classroom comes under summative assessment.

9. Procedure of Formative Assessment to be adapted First of all teacher said in high tone that all students’ must open their videos. Secondly, teacher said open your note book or pen and note my lecture. Teacher should wait 5 minutes maximum for those students’ who are still trying to join meeting or students who faced problems in connecting. After this teacher start the lecture and asked students’ mute their mikes after attendance. Only when I call your names than on your mikes or if you want to ask something related to lecture than raise your hands. Zoom also provide this facility of raise-hand. Teacher should ask questions again and again during the lecture. Because if teacher have habit of ask questions during lecture than students’ listen carefully as well as note teachers’ words. If teacher feel that students’ feel monotonous he/she may ask objective type questions.

10. How Teacher Motivate Students’ in online Class Power Point Slides: In online classes teacher should make attractive slides of the lectures which he/she should include GIFs, images, colors, animations or transitions. Because it is human psyche our brain attract towards colorful images. Students’ motivate and take interest if teacher make attractive lectures. Cont…..

11. Videos: Videos are also the best way to engage or motivate students’. Teachers’ can add videos related to lecture in power point slides. Because those learners who don’t take interest on verbal lecture when teacher play video between lecture they take interest and attentive to hear and watch video. Etc. You Tube videos related to lecture can also be included in the lecture.

12. Maintain Attendance Record in Online Classes There are some strategies to keep attendance record in online classes; Upload attendance on Google Classroom and teacher should give limited time and ask students’ to mark their attendance. Teacher should take screen shots of the participants of the zoom class before and after the lecture. If class is held on whatsapp than teacher should ask to mark attendance by using emojis .

13. Ways and means to connect school management and administration in online classes Principal: In online education system principal or school administration are connected with teachers’ and HODs through mobile contact. Principal held meeting on Zoom where he/she take report from teachers about online teaching. Principal or HODs are also added in all Google classrooms where administrators connected and monitor what teacher is uploading on classroom on daily basis. Cont…..

14. School Staff: All teachers are also connected with each other through whatsapp group. There should be one official group of all staff members in whatsapp where all group members discuss about their schedule, students’ who are not attending online classes etc. Parents: School community should be connected with parents about their kids’ achievement. Monthly zoom Parents Teacher meeting should be held. PTM is the best strategy to engage parents and it also an opportunity for parents’ to give their suggestions and receive feedback about their child from teacher. Recording: Teacher should record zoom lecture and than upload lecture on Google Classroom where Principal and Head of Departments are also added. This is the very convenient way for principal to judge teachers’ lecture.

15. Stakeholders: The term stakeholder typically refers to anyone who is invested in the welfare and success of a school and its students, including administrators, teachers, staff members, students, parents, families, community members, local business leaders, and elected officials such as school board members, and city. For example: In lock down when schools are still closed but stakeholders are connected with school. Teacher informs in group that all of students’ buy their books from ABC stationery or any other stationery. You can order your books from these shops etc. So, this is the best way for stakeholders to connect with school and continue their business even in the lockdown.

16. Benefits of Online Teaching Benefits for Teachers: The benefits of online classes for teachers are as follows; Teacher can easily deliver lecture at their home. It is convenient for teachers to manage their home in online education system. Online education provides opportunities to access and share information more easily and readily.

17. Cont….. Benefit for Students: Students’ can take only class anywhere with the help of internet connection. Students’ are taking online classes with in their home/bedroom which is very comfortable learning environment. Students can study and work at their convenience. In online classes students’ technical skills are improving day by day. In beginning of online classes students had no idea that how to use zoom, Google Classroom and how to make accounts etc. But now students’ learned and trained to use online tools. Online classes are beneficial for the students because there studies don’t disturb or they continue their studies even in the lockdown. Etc.

20. Procedure of Teaching Teaching Method Source of Lecture For students’ motivation Lecture Method and Question Answer Method for assessing students’ learning ability. Power Point slides and videos related to lecture on Zoom app. 10 minutes activity at the end of class for students’ brainstorming.

21. Cont…. Type of Assessment Being a teacher, I used both formative and summative assessment. Formative Assessment technique will apply when I will feel someone is not taking interest and responding. After completing my lecture I will ask some questions which may be in the form of MCQs or short answer items come under summative assessment. Questions should be pre planned or it may be change according to the situation of class.

22. Homework At the end of lecture being a teacher I will upload homework on the Google Classroom and also assign submission date to the students. Homework would be based on Transformation Activity. Because students 'of class 6 or 7 are not matured and fell monotonous with home assignments. So, homework should be attractive. Homework should be related to topic and not too much lengthy. A sample of homework related to topic matter is shown in next slide;

23. Transformation Activity Name the types of matters with the help of showing its figure;

24. Assigning Attractive work in online classes If homework or mini assignments are based on images than students’ take it as a game. They enjoy their work and unconsciously their concepts enhance. Teacher should more focus on activity based learning in online classes. PowerPoint lectures are the best ways to engage all kind of students’ in class. Teacher should also design quiz which is enjoyable for students’ instead of being stressful.

25. Conclusion It is concluded that nCoVID-19 changed our education system totally. It has both pros and cons. But it is fact so we take it positive and accept change. We should enjoy this innovate system of education. If we take it relax than both students’ and teachers would feel enjoy and relax.
