@ENG-Asmaa thank you.

@Ana_moderator
Thank you I will do for sure. I wanted to start with my colleagues here first I will post a google form to fill witg all information about projects and contact details for those interested. Have a nice day.

I am really happy joining such a lovely community of great educators. This opportunity is really a life changing experience I suggest to take it to another level why not work together (teachers, E library officials and students) to develop cooperative activities among our schools and organise projects and develop games or apps that will illustrate this journey. Tell me what you think Mrs Anastasia and my friends.️

From a personal experience playing games is the best way to motivate any learner even adults. Dear friends, please share you experiences even the funny ones that illustrate this idea. Waiting for you stories. 🫣

Yes it is a revolution, we have also to cope withe changes and update our techniques to master the ever changing power of gaming in classrooms as it involves psychology, sociology and pedagogy.

@Engr-Zeeshan Thank you yes I did upliad some files but others including the main video were not uploaded. I talked the Mrs Anastasia, she was really helpful and sent them an email. I hope that they reply and fix the issue. Thank you my friend for the advice.

Hello dear educators I am really happy to connect with such vibrant community of techy teachers. I faced technical problems while uploading my work, the main video part is missing and couldn't reupload. Have you faced such issues? I talked to Mrs Anastasi who replied quickly to my question and gave the advice to contact tech support. I have sent emails to technical support and got no answer so far. I am upset as the evaluation date is approaching. If you have any suggestions please do.
I only need to upload the missing parts of my work.
Wish you all the best,

Ana this is my cup of tea I really appreciate the topic and the suggestion of such important area that many us as educators put it in a second place when it comes to technology. Game based teaching has always been there since the days of Montessori and proved to be an effective way to communicate with kids and old people too. Here when it comes to technology + gamification as I said to my colleagues in one of the training as if you have both MESSI and RONALDO in one team you got it all but you have to master the power and use it the right way. In my neurology lectures with Mr. Foued a great teaching in both ISEFC and Boston University we came to discover that learning is almost impossible without playing especially with young learners (and other too). It creates neuro-connections that will last forever as the game is used alongside the rule or information and both are stored in that neuro-section and are more active and accessible. Technology is the way we serve the game and now thanks to the ease of access more options are available and teachers can curate or create their content to be adapted exactly to what they teach. Thank you again I am eager to share my experience in creating educational technology content for gaming to all my friends here. Love you all.

My dear colleague Engr Zeeshan I think the ideas that you present are so valuable. From my personal experience using technology in my classes in my country has drastically changed the way I teach however the context and the policy makers need to be aware of what is going on to help us educators do the job the right way. I mean training and clear goals are important to level up the teachers' methods of using technology not just to present but to benefit from it both teacher and student.

My name is Bassem Rahmouni, and I am an English language teacher from Tunisia. I am currently finalizing my master's degree in Educational Technology at ISEFC in Tunis. With over 18 years of experience teaching in primary and secondary schools in Tunisia, I bring a wealth of knowledge and expertise to our community.
In addition to my teaching career, I am an online teacher and educational technology trainer. I have been an Edmodo trainer and a Minecraft Global Mentor, and I have proudly held the title of Microsoft Innovative Educator for four consecutive years (2020-2024). I am also a Microsoft Certified Educator.
I collaborate with several edtech companies, such as Nearpod, where I present and train teachers from around the world. I am an ambassador for various global platforms, including Wakelet, Edmodo, and Edpuzzle. My passion lies in educational technologies and educational content development. I am thrilled to join this vibrant community to learn from all of you and to share my knowledge and experiences. I look forward to our collaborative journey ahead.

Shazia your ideas are great but I don't really agress with the first point as collaboration can be distracting with the presence of ICT that can add another challenge for students who will not only think in a higher level but also master the tevhnology like smartbkards ... to ensure that everyone is engaged and limit the fact that the good students will do the whole thing. The environment has to be wella equipped not only with tech but also with the righ ones for the right situation at the right time and level.

The 17 SDG goals are present in almost all educational programs but the way teachers can use ICT to approach them is the key to successfully rwach the goal of engagimg the students. Vanny is right when she stressed the fact that the SDG goals they teied to implement are key as they are a means to make ICT an accessible tool for both teachers and students whoch is itself a goal of equity among different people from differwnt races.

Hi Antonia I was really ahppy to read your post as it is one of the things I am working on with a team of teachers here in Tunisia. The problem is that ministries are a bit reluctent to implement Ai is the educational programs that need first to be updated to fit the new era of edtech. Your ieda is futuristic and can be more fruitful if adopted in rich countries as it requires training and modern technologies.

Hi shazia, I used chatgpt in my English class, here I wanted to ched light on the other side of the topic. We educators need to be careful with the AI tools so a Chat-code needs to be set before hand and teaching students how to use prompts to get the task done is sometimes way more important than the outcome.

VR is vital when it comes to STEM education I am an ELT teacher and I used the VR to teach Arts students about the DNA. It really helps I agree but to a certain point as sometimes it becomes distructing as the technology itself is still developping in the edtech fields.
