Nagpur: While students had a great time at the online TSP 2020, teachers, too, enjoyed every bit of it through live streaming. With the exciting debate being webcast live on TOI’s social media page, teachers did not miss out on the traditional format of TSP which used to be held at the famed Town Hall.
Vinni Kumar, teacher at Montfort School, said “TSP is something we wait for every year. And this year the new online format was also very interesting. Children got good exposure and it was a great boost for their confidence level. They participated in something which was interesting and will enhance their abilities.”
Richa Arora, teacher from Delhi Public School (Kamptee Road), said “It went a great way towards improving awareness of our children by making them participants in this experience towards enlightening the younger generation about Covid and its effect on the world.”
Sutapa Sinha, teacher at Edify School, said it was wonderful watching the live webcast of the debate. “It was a wonderful experience to have our students participate in the Times School Parliament and see them perform on the livestream. Everything was very well coordinated. Students were at the top of their game. A couple of students could have got a few more chances to speak but overall it was a great event,” said Sinha.
Elveena Biwalkar, teacher at Bishop Cotton School (CBSE), said she is eager to experience the traditional format of TSP too. “Since this virtual experience was so great, I wonder how much better it would be to see it in person. I enjoyed the last round where students countered each other’s points and put their points of view forward,” said Biwalkar.
Centre Point School International teachers Sarika Bhowmick and Ketal Kothari said there was great discipline shown by speakers even in the final rounds when everyone was countering each other’s views.
Meena Chowdhari, teacher at School of Scholars (Wanadongri), said, “We missed out on the vibrant atmosphere of Town Hall, but conducting it virtually was the need of the hour. Fortunately, students managed to recreate the atmosphere.”
