The research was conducted on 50 students and 20 teachers to find out how teachers can effectively engage children in online classes. The research also attempted to explore different Edu-tech tools/ platforms used by teachers and challenges faced by them while using those tools in their classrooms. After an initial survey of tools used by teachers, researcher created a group "Fun with Pranali" with students and tried various Edu-tech tools and analyzed their effectiveness in classes.
