Hello Sahar,

The students have well explained the apps. Great. Are students allowed to bring their mobile at school?

Hi Bryaan,

Hope you are fine. Did students appreciate the bcalm box project? Can you please explain how it was organised and implemented. I find it interesting. Thanks Bryaan.

Hi Sahar!

Congratulations on your amazing achievement!

It would be fantastic if you could share your experience of participating in this competition and tell us in more detail how to prepare your work so that it is both useful and has the potential to win. Links are welcome =)!

@BRYANb8875625e5 Well done Brian. Good initiative of introducing the Calm Box. Just wondering, how they used the calm box? Do they need to enter the box or how?

Last year, I attended a conference, and a teacher also introduced a calm box, made in form of a box house for the ADHD students, where the box become a safe house and space for them to relax. Each time the teacher give a time out to the student, the student will enter the box house.

@Housna Yes, as for now, we have implemented the app to almost 80% of the students in my school, and the impact shown was very positive.

My students could not bring any gadgets to school, instead it's school initiative to provide tablets at school, for the implementation of the app from class to class. The students share the tablet in a group of 4-5 students and use the app with teacher's guidance.

Hello Sahar
You are very lucky, you and your students, dear colleague.

Hi @Sahar730dd459d2
Hope everything is going well.

A calm box is like a calm down kit is a set of materials put together in a box, bag, or corner of a room that students can use to calm down or distract themselves when their emotions might overwhelm them.

Best,
Mr. Bryan

The launching of this apps in your school proved to be very advantageous as it created awareness among students of taking cate of their mental health which ultimately lead to a healthier school environment. Mental health is an important issue which needs to be reviewed by all administrators. The apps also offered other features such as games and stress management. It is a really useful tool. Pupils viewed the apps in group on tablet, it promotes peer tutoring. It is a concrete example of the integration of IT in the subject Health Education.

@Sahar Congratulations! Nice job! Nice Idea!
