What Is Your Biggest Inspiration From This Competition That You Would Start Implementing/Doing?

---

We have learnt so much, and so many things/elements that have become our inspirations. We delve into various topics and discussions from across subjects from so many educators here. So which one has inspired you the most and stimulate/trigger you to implement something differently?

For me, I learnt so much about on how to design and implement gamification in my classes. Things could start small and partially, to scaffold the students' ability to process the true concept behind the gameplay.

The second thing is how we should also focus on the importance of balancing the uses of technology as simple as the internet with the activity that are 'offline'. It is not to disconnect people but to reconnect individuals to understand the root of mankind, which is empathy and compassion.

How about yours?

This forum has been a meaningful learning experience for me. I’ve gained valuable insights into student-centered teaching, where giving students voice and choice truly enhances engagement and ownership of learning.

I’ve also been deeply inspired by the focus on inclusive education understanding how to support all learners by using flexible strategies, diverse materials, and creating safe, respectful spaces for everyone, regardless of ability or background.

The videos shared by educators were especially helpful. They demonstrated practical approaches like flipped classrooms, where students learn content at home and use class time for active discussions and problem-solving. I also learned how gamification can boost motivation by turning lessons into interactive experiences.

Another key takeaway was the importance of balancing digital tools with real-world connection—technology should support learning, but empathy, collaboration, and meaningful relationships remain at the heart of education.

Altogether, this platform has motivated me to rethink and improve my teaching practices, blending innovation with compassion to better meet the needs of today’s learners.

@Hendra "My biggest inspiration from this competition is witnessing how creative and impactful teaching strategies can truly transform learning. Seeing fellow educators use innovation, empathy, and real-world connections in their lessons has motivated me to focus more on student-centered approaches. I will start implementing more collaborative activities, integrate technology with purpose, and emphasize emotional and social learning in my teaching practices. This competition reminded me that teaching is not just delivering content—it's about inspiring minds and touching hearts."

Thank you for sharing such deep reflections! For me, the biggest inspiration was seeing how hands-on learning and student voice can transform engagement. Whether it's sustainability projects, student-led lessons, or tech-integrated storytelling, I've realized that when students take ownership, learning becomes meaningful and memorable.

Another key takeaway for me was the gentle reminder—like you said—about balancing tech with human connection. I’m inspired to design more blended activities that nurture creativity and compassion.

Can’t wait to implement these ideas and see the difference they make!
What’s the first gamified activity you plan to try in your class?

@Hendra Thank you for your ideas. I really liked your point about using technology with balance. My biggest inspiration from this competition was learning about online collaboration projects. I saw how teachers connect students from different countries to work together. In the future, I would like to create an exchange programme where students from different schools take part in joint projects and competitions. This can help them improve teamwork, digital skills, and learn about other cultures. Like you said, small steps can make a big difference.
