@Ana_moderator Thank you, Ms. Ana, for this information.
It is indeed important to give everyone a chance to submit their work. Unfortunately, I only recently learned about this wonderful community, forum, and competition myself.
Wishing everyone success!

Project Idea: International Collaborative Partnerships in Schools
Dear colleagues, I would like to propose a collaborative project for students.
Project Description: This project brings together students from different countries to work collaboratively on creating a finished product (an app, website, etc.). This collaboration aims to motivate participants and develop 21st-century skills (soft skills: collaboration, communication, creativity). It also facilitates dialogue and cultural exchange between participants.
Project Goal:
To create a platform for international dialogue and collaboration between students.
Project Objectives:
@EMINA043e019d70 This is truly inspiring! Your CHOOSE THE RIGHT PATH project is a brilliant example of how to combat bullying creatively and proactively. The obstacle course is a fantastic way to bring important moral lessons to life, making learning both engaging and impactful. Good luck with your project, and may it reach and help as many people as possible!
Hello @Bilim
I am ready to begin collaboration. We can start right after the beginning of the next academic year. Our school follows the Cambridge curriculum. If our programs align (e.g., ICT/CS IGCSE/A-level), we can collaborate in these areas. If not, we are open to exploring other avenues for collaboration. We are eager to discuss further!
I am an ICT/CS teacher at a school in Tashkent. I am interested in integrating AI into the educational process along with AR/VR technology. I am also interested in developing applications on the topics of global environmental issues. Do you have any experience using AR/VR integrated with AI? I would appreciate any recommendations.
Upcoming events: World Scratch Coding Competition 2024

Hello everyone. I just found out that this forum has a rewards system for activity. Interesting. It turns out that I currently have the rank of "Rising Star." There's room to grow. I wish everyone success!

Hi Bryan,
Thank you so much for the valuable information! I'm glad to hear your project using AI, VR, and Community Based Learning was a success.
I appreciate the links to the resources. I'll definitely look into these resources.
By the way, I've already started experimenting with Unity and Vuforia, and it's been quite promising. Thanks for the grant advice as well.
Thanks again for your help and support!
Best regards,
Denis
@Sahar730dd459d2 For lesson planning, creating assignments for tests, homework, and reports, I use a combination of tools like OpenAI, Google AI Studio, and Notion.
OpenAI: This is a powerful AI platform that can help you generate text, translate languages, write different kinds of creative content, and answer your questions in an informative way.

Google AI Studio: This platform provides a collaborative environment for building and deploying machine learning models. It offers tools for data exploration, model training, and deployment.

Notion: This is a versatile workspace that allows you to organize your notes, tasks, and projects in a structured and accessible way. It's excellent for creating outlines, lesson plans, and managing information.

@Ana_moderator Good day, esteemed colleagues. My name is Denis, and I am an ICT/CS teacher in Tashkent, Uzbekistan. In my spare time, I enjoy spending time with my family, hiking in the mountains, walking in parks, visiting museums and new places. I also enjoy strategy computer games (e.g., Civilization, Age of Empires).
In education, I am interested in conducting lessons in collaboration with teachers from around the world. If you are interested in this experience, we can discuss the possibility of a joint lesson. I am always happy to make new acquaintances.
Hello everyone! I just wanted to clarify about the Best Peer Vote. Do I understand correctly that the voting hasn't started yet? Because nothing is showing up for me so far.
@Ana_moderator Oh, thank you for the link, dear Ana. I've been looking for like-minded people to develop joint project activities and collaborations between students from different parts of the world.
Greetings everyone,
This is an interesting topic for discussion. As an ICT teacher, I often notice that children, who are practically born with gadgets nowadays, lack basic computer skills. For example, they struggle with simple tasks like creating a folder, copying files, printing documents, and even performing more complex information searches.
In my childhood, it was cool to take apart and assemble a computer by oneself and install the operating system. Because of this, we generally understand how everything works. Now, I have decided to focus on these activities during my lessons. To achieve this, I need some computers that we can use for hands-on practice.
@Zareena-J-M
Hi Zareena,
It's great to see you here on the forum! I'm really interested in your work with B.Tech students, especially your research on Communication Skills. I'm curious to know, what are the biggest challenges you face when teaching Communication Skills to these students? I'm also very interested in research and project work, so I'd love to hear more about your experiences in that area.
On a related note, what advice would you give to students struggling with academic research writing?
Thanks for sharing your expertise!
Regarding the older generation, there are also challenges. They have essentially witnessed the rapid development of these technologies, from the basic technologies that everything is now built on to VR/AR/AI technologies. The difficulty lies in the fact that these technologies also require constant learning and knowledge maintenance. I encounter colleagues who are not willing to update their skills, which leads to problems.
I am now opening evening courses at the school for parents and teachers, where we study both basic and advanced technologies. It's interesting that today, everyone has a device with enough computing power to launch space shuttles, yet most people use them primarily for watching shorts, stories, or playing games.
@Shakhnoza Hello, Shakhnoza! Nice to meet you. I'm also interested in eco-projects, and since we're in the same country, maybe it's a chance to collaborate and make some interesting projects together.
@BRYANb8875625e5 I'm sorry to hear about the decision concerning the technology teacher. Perhaps you could try to persuade the management to reconsider.
@Bousl2336873cb4 Thank you for your support, Chokri! Generally, I'm more interested in competitions related to CS and ICT specifically. However, I want to develop project-based learning in my school, so I'd be happy to see competitions in any field, as I will be suggesting them to my colleagues.
@MYLOG47799627c6 Hello Logeswari,
This is definitely a popular topic for discussion. I just want to add that a lot also depends on the teacher themselves. How willing they are to present their subject in a modern way and how effectively they utilize contemporary educational tools makes a big difference.
