Hello @Kanwal-Zaman,

I wanted to take a moment to share my feedback on your recent storytelling session at school.

First, I truly appreciate the special storytelling session you organized, bringing together students from all grade levels in one classroom. I know this can be quite challenging, but you managed to create an engaging environment that truly brought the class to life during your session.

Moreover, I commend you for including students with diverse learning disabilities in your storytelling session. This is no small feat, and I recognize the challenges that come with it. Your thoughtful planning and approach to accommodate all learning needs is commendable and sets a great example of inclusivity.

Teaching through stories is a powerful method, and you executed it beautifully. It not only captivates the students' attention but also enhances their understanding and retention of the material.

Overall, your dedication to creating an inclusive and engaging learning environment through storytelling is truly inspiring. Great job!

From real to virtual: Re-imagining reality through digital art by @HAZAR0c50a82765

Ms. Hazar, I've had a look into your submission, and it is such a heartwarming to see such thoughtful approach in your class where your students are able to convert and transform their artworks into digital forms. You are correct, in this era of ICT, students or teenagers are more exposed to internet and smart devices, that somehow leads them into a disconnection to the world of traditional arts. Your activity with your students refreshes and reforms their access into visual arts. It is combining a world of clay, glue, and papers with apps, virtual environment and ecosystem.

It is a humble gesture in accepting the two contrast realms where students are welcome to express their creativity, perspectives and ideas together. The way they create the artworks, and how they transform them into virtual representation are enhancing their multiple skills. It enhances self-learning, collaborative works, and supportive community.

With a lot of limitations for us to access arts supplies, your sharing has opened a new venture for those who might experience the similar circumstances. I do hope that your government, along with the private sector, will start paying more attention and providing more supports to such activities. Thank you for sharing with us about your efforts and approaches where students are more than welcome to explore and express their visual ideas more freely. Digital arts is one promising field in the near future, I am sure your students will feel the benefits of doing such activity in your class. Hopefully this will inspire more teachers and educators to stay brave and bold in venturing into new ways in guiding our young learners.

Looking forward to seeing more of your students doing the similar projects! Thank you.

Kind regards,

Hendra

Hello @Imamuddin-Khaskh
I wanted to share my thoughts on your recent activity using a 'race' to study speed. I find this idea to be incredibly valuable! Encouraging students to race not only promotes physical exercise but also allows them to practice essential skills in data recording and analysis simultaneously.

To enhance this activity further, I suggest incorporating motion sensors or a sensor timer instead of relying on a manual timer. For example, using Phyphox to utilize an acoustic stopwatch could add an innovative twist. This stopwatch is triggered by sound, allowing runners to start and stop the timer by producing a sound as they begin and finish their run. This would make the activity even more engaging and technologically integrated.

Overall, I appreciate your creative approach to teaching speed, and I believe these enhancements could make the experience even more effective for the students.

Best regards,

Hello @Sanaa
I wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts on your recent lesson about managing waste and transforming it into beautiful craft products. This approach is truly inspiring! By emphasizing the global issue of waste, particularly plastic waste, you are addressing a crucial and vital topic in your classroom.

The products your students created really caught my attention. To enhance this experience even further, consider incorporating elements of STEM education, even in simple ways. This could help students understand that turning trash into treasure also involves an engineering design process. It would be a great way to connect creativity with problem-solving skills.

Regardless, I was impressed by how engaged your students were throughout the activity. Your efforts are making a meaningful impact!

Best regards,

@Tabbasum Thank you for such an engaging and clear physics lesson! I really liked how you explained the concepts step by step and used simple examples to help students understand. It was great to see how students were actively involved, asking questions, giving answers, and participating in the discussion. You created a very positive learning environment where everyone felt encouraged to share and learn.

@Alwesha The lesson was thoughtfully designed for young learners, with age-appropriate vocabulary and engaging video content. You used clear, simple language. The interactive approach helped maintain student interest and encouraged participation, which is essential for language acquisition at this level.

@Bakht54a5e4eb47 The use of technology, especially screen sharing and visuals, helped explain the lesson in a simple and engaging way. It made the lesson more interactive and easier to understand.

@Moham323d135850 Thank you so much,for your kind and insightful feedback! I’m really glad you found the lesson effective and engaging for young learners.

In flipped classroom , I aimed to ensure that the content could stand on its own—so I created a easily understandable language and detailed PowerPoint that guides students step-by-step, allowing them to learn independently without constant teacher assistance. This makes the resource highly scalable, as it can easily be adapted and implemented across different schools and institutions.

I also incorporated hands-on classroom activities using real-life objects, which not only reinforces learning but makes the experience more tangible and memorable for the students.

Thanks again for your valuable feedback it truly motivates me to keep improving and sharing more accessible learning tools

Today I voted for @Shumaila (there're multiple accounts under this name so I'm not sure which one to tag) for her flipped classroom on continents of the world. I feel she's among the few that demonstrates an actual working flipped classroom, rather than throwing the full recorded lesson to students online. From my experience, that rarely works as intended because if students already struggle with your carefully explaining it in class, the same thing in video form is not going to magically solve all their issues. Shumaila has the easy, familiar part for students to review first: the existence of the 7 continents and some basic info. Then in class, she reviewed that then had a harder task of placing the continents on a map, then answering some written questions, which build on learned materials. One note is that I saw that they view the video in class, which still cuts into class time just like unflipped classrooms, so for students to truly self-review maybe they can view it at school before the first period? Or the teacher can print out the map / video content first, because I know there's a technology issue that not all students have smartphones at home.

I have submitted several feedback that I prepared thoughtfully and carefully since a few days ago but none of them are approved. I'm just wondering if I miss any points? Thank you @TatianaSh

I want to share with you this beautiful initiative “Education For All: Connecting through stories” by @Kanwal-Zaman
A heartwarming session that united all students through storytelling is truly a great step toward inclusion and empathy! .

Also I want to share with you @Namra ’s creative flipped class on Air Pressure & Oxygen Combustion
Students explored the topic through video, reflection, and hands on tasks
Seems an engaging way to deepen learning and spark curiosity!

Many participants deserve recognition ️
but I can't forget @Abeer696f5f5f43
I want to share with you “Turning Trash into Treasure” by Abeer Chang ️
A brilliant mix of creativity, eco-awareness, and entrepreneurship.

@ateeque-soomro I really enjoyed how you used real-life situations to teach math concepts. It makes learning more meaningful and helps students see the value of math in their daily lives. The use of video was engaging and helped simplify complex ideas. Great job making the lesson both practical and interactive.

@Hendra Please, do not worry! All your feedback posts will be approved and counted.
