Reflective practice is a personal matter which varies from person to person. However, there is no single way of defining reflective practice for personal and professional development. It is a process that helps teachers to reflect on their experiences for further improvement. It enables teachers to recognize their successes, gaps, and challenges. It is also a personal inquiry which nurtures greater self-awareness, imagination and creativity in teachers which are qualities of effective teachers.

The main difference between teacher-centred and learner-centred pedagogies is that within the teacher-centred pedagogies students depend on teachers whereas student-centred pedagogies focus on students along with teachers. Through teacher-centred pedagogies, teachers talk excessively, and students continue to listen but student-centred pedagogies allow teachers and students to interact in the classroom and collaborate with each other.

As we all know that the teacher of 21st century is also known as facilitator.
Being a teacher we should support students in every sector of life.

i) How do you view your role as a primary school teacher?
ii) What functions of your role do you like the most and why?
iii) What functions of your role you don’t like and why?
iv) What could be possible challenges of your role?
v) How would you meet the challenges of your role?

A teaching portfolio is a record of the teachers’ professional development. It illustrates teachers’ philosophy of teaching and the overall approach to teaching and professional development. It is a collection of materials that documents teaching performance.

A portfolio contains lesson plans, delivery of lesson plans, reflections on
teaching learning activities, assessment, and feedback.

I don't deny that printed material or assignments are useless now but being digitally literate we must focus on techy tools and gadgets to enhance the teaching and learning process.

I like the project your students made. Nice idea by the way.
Kindly add iOS feature to the QR code, I can't download the app.
Nice idea and a huge round of applause for you.

As we are aware that many pandemic issues occur in the world at the same time, so I think we should be aware of Cross-Cutting/Emerging Themes.

I personally believe that 21st century teacher should be a techy teacher. He or she should be good or best at gadgets and sites.
Google classroom is also a brilliant platform to engage students.
MS Teams, zoom, steam yard also nice platforms.
All these sites can be accessed during cross-cutting situation.
When COVID erupted, we used MS Teams as an online tool to engage students.

I have been using Kahoot as a gamification tool for my students.
The printed mug was given to the Kahoot winners as a reward.
Wordwall, role playing activity, press conference, gallery walk, round Robin, Fish bowl, think-pair-share and so many learning activities I have been working and implementing during my class.

First of all, I really appreciate your efforts and congratulate for your project.
The world has been witnessing climate issues and students need to be aware about global warming.
Paper recycling and forest saving is such a nice and creative idea.

Hi
As you have mentioned that most of your students belong to low socio-economic background.
Same is the situation is with me, we live in an agricultural area where most of the students belong to marginalized regions.
As far as tablets and other gadgets are concerned, I have been using my own laptop with projector to facilitate the students with the support of my school.

Hi, I am Raj Kumar, an English teacher from Pakistan.
I am a computer literate teacher and use KAHOOT, padlet and other gamification tools to enhance the learning of my students.
I have been working on Green education to reduce the use of paper by using multimedia and other gadgets.
I have been to USA by availing a 6 weeks fellowship (Teaching Excellence & Achievement "TEA", program).
In my spare time, I mostly love to walk and explore natural beauty.

As the world is approaching to AI and robotics, I personally believe that the easiest way to teach the school kids is Gamification, through gamification we can grab the attention of the students by implementing some Audio Visual content.
Kahoot, padlet, word wall, Edpuzzle, Flipgrid and quizzes are the best gamification platforms.
