'Teachers affect eternity; no one can tell where their influence stops' -Henry Brooks Adams

Teachers leave a deep impact on the lives of their students. Their direct or indirect guidance, love, and support keep their students moving. The knowledge they impart to the students stays with them for years, I still remember that the answer to 'what is the powerhouse of the cell' is 'mitochondria' because my science teacher in school taught us that lesson so well.

A teacher is equally responsible for a child's growth and to put their best foot forward teachers need to keep themselves updated as the education system keeps on evolving. Not only do the data and information keep on changing but teaching patterns are ever-changing too. The shift from traditional teaching to Online teaching through online teaching apps is a perfect example of the same.
