E-Content for Conscientization

In semester III, we were to have our first phase of teaching practice during which we were to conduct an awareness class or a conscientization program on a topic related to health and nutrition or environment. As we were inconvenienced by the pandemic situation our teaching practice procedure was significantly altered and we had to have it online. Since the platform was changed, we resorted on creating an e-content for the purpose of conscientization. 

I chose a topic that I thought was very much relatable to the students and one that should be dealt with immediate effect i.e, Plastic Refill Pollution and Environmental Hazards.

Plastic Refill Pollution and Environmental Hazards

E-Content on Sentences

At the very beginning of the third semester we were hinted that we should be preparing an e-content. It was a very stifling assignment as we were all confused on what to do. We were all quite proficient in creating presentations and all but the thought that we had to do something different than those done earlier made things complicated. I had searched for a number of applications. Almost everyone was in a hunt for an application that would help them to create basic animations without any knowledge on coding. But the main problem that came to my mind was that as we were to create content for the high school students they must not get bored by it. Finally, the best option that I could think of was whiteboard animations. It is indeed a good platform in which teachers can render concept in an interesting way. The option of voice-recording almost gives the content the quality of a real-time class. 

My maiden attempt on e-content development, on the topic Sentences
