Schools and colleges across the country have resorted to online classes amid the coronavirus pandemic. The move to digital learning has also forced teachers to come up with innovative methods of conducting classes in the absence of a traditional classroom setup. Earlier, a video of a schoolteacher from Pune using a clothes hanger and two pieces of rope to create a makeshift tripod for recording lectures had gone viral online. Now, another online teaching jugaad or creative hack is winning much praise and appreciation on social media.
On Saturday, a Twitter user took to the microblogging platform to share a picture of a teacher using a transparent refrigerator tray for her online class. After balancing the tray on two containers, she put her smartphone on top of it and was photographed solving a problem on a piece of paper kept on the table below. The innovative hack, which removed the need for her to hold her phone in one hand and also allowed students to view the problem as she solved it, has been widely lauded on social media.
"A teacher using a refrigerator tray to teach online," wrote the Twitter user who shared the image.

Since being shared on Twitter, the picture has collected over 4,400 'likes' and hundreds of 'retweets' and comments. Many praised the teacher for coming up with the jugaad.
My respects to such an innovative mind. None can complete with jugar of Indian women. They have always created magic with the bare minimum. In professions they will shine like the sun in the coming years. The world needs these minds to combat climate change.
