My students are from rural area. What can I do to teach them who have not mobiles at their home?  How can I engage them in learning process at this time?

Dear Sunita, Great question. A difficult situation but with the right resources this can work. There's going to have to be a lot of accountability on the students end of things. It seems like a good idea to mail/deliver them a study plan and hopefully they have a textbook to work with. Also encourage creative projects, and hopefully they can share these when they come back to school. This is an unprecedented event in history. A diary or journal written in English can become something of great historical value if they can record their feelings about the global situation in their area. Tell them that by writing about everything that is happening they are writing history, and hopefully this will spark them to do the kind of work they will be proud of when they come back to school. Warmly, Dr. Michael Grafals
