Background
Due to the continuous spread of Covid-19 over the past two years and the impact of the current (Omicron) wave, schools are likely to close for a few more days in the state. Across the state most schools have created students' WhatsApp groups to share learning resources. In many schools, teachers are conducting online classes for students. Some teachers may want to start online classes if they can be guided and supported for doing this. Now with the support of Karnataka school education department, IT for Change is conducting a online courses for school teachers to create digital resources for the online/offline classroom teaching purpose.

Since all teachers do not have access to computers, we plan to conduct this online course separately in two groups: for teachers who use mobile devices and for teachers who use computers.
