Stationery manufacturer, Atlas Axillia Co., hosted a teacher training webinar targeting primary teachers recently. The webinar was facilitated by Atlas to help ease the challenges faced by teachers and students during the pandemic when adapting to virtual learning environments – a fairly new concept faced by the education system. The online event was one of Atlas’s many initiatives launched to support students to continue their education during the pandemic.
With over 400 teachers taking part from across the country, the webinar was conducted by National Representative ofAsia-Pacific Regional Network for Early Childhood (ARNEC), Wasantha Herath, who spoke on “The Role of Teachers During the COVID-19 Pandemic” and introduced interactive and effective methods of getting students involved during online classes.
Managing Director, Atlas Axillia Co., Asitha Samaraweera said, “The pandemic had unexpectedly forced our education system to move into a digital learning space, leaving teachers to adapt on their own with little or no training.
