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.

Dear participants, thank you for your questions and for keeping up with the process!

The deadlines for peer review and the final announcement of results have been extended.
The organizers have decided to extend the deadline for project submissions until 10th July.

If you have already submitted a project and participated in the competition, please be aware of this change.

All applicants will be notified about the start of the peer evaluation process.

On a positive note, we are now able to announce the destination for the study tour!

The top individual in each category (a total of 4 winners) and 1 individual (Peer Choice Award) will have an opportunity to go on a study tour to Serbia!
During the tour, participants will have the opportunity to visit the Center for Robotics and Artificial Intelligence in Education, prominent universities, and teacher training institutions. They will also receive training from leading experts on advanced technologies and AI in education. Additionally, they will visit an advanced school and engage in exchanges with their peers.

Hello Ana
Thank you Madame Ana for all this information. Personally, I have already sent my project and I am still waiting for approval from the members of the jury of this competition.
Best Regards from Tunisia

@Ana_moderator Thank you, dear Anastasiia!
I was getting a bit worried that I was not able to see the other entries. I downloaded my materials a while ago, so I'm looking forward to the next stage of the competition!

@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!

Hello Denis
so this is the opportunity to be completely engaged
Best regards from Tunisia

@Ana_moderator This study tour to Serbia offers a fantastic chance to dive deep into cutting-edge developments in educational technology.
Visiting the Center for Robotics and Artificial Intelligence in Education will give the winners firsthand insights into how AI is transforming learning environments. The chance to interact with leading experts and receive training on advanced technologies could significantly boost their knowledge and skills in this rapidly evolving field.
The prospect of exploring prominent universities and teacher training institutions will provide valuable perspectives on how AI is being integrated into various educational settings. Plus, visiting an advanced school and exchanging ideas with peers from different backgrounds could spark innovative ideas for implementing AI in their own educational context.
This tour seems perfectly aligned with my interest in AI as an educational tool. It's an excellent opportunity to see theory put into practice, network with like-minded professionals, and gain inspiration for future projects. My enthusiasm is well-placed – this experience could be a game-changer for my professional development in AI and education.

@Ana_moderator This is exciting news! I’m thrilled about the upcoming peer evaluation process and the study tour to Serbia. Visiting the Center for Robotics and AI in Education and learning from experts sounds incredible. Fingers crossed for the results! Also, on another note, just wondering why the deadline been extended again and again

Dear colleagues, do you see the uploaded works in the section of entries, or is it only me who has the problem?

Deall @all please review one more time the forum rules.

We are currently reviewing all forum content to ensure that it is unique and well-organized.

• If you share your teaching materials, please mention what you have personally tried and can recommend.
• If you start a discussion, explain how it relates to your own experience.
• If you share new information or create a new topic, make sure it is not simply a re-posting of materials from another source or theory (or generating the texts with the use of AI).

Please note, that the use of generative AI is not prohibited, but it must be clearly marked and used solely to showcase teaching practices that have been successfully implemented in the classroom (like demostrating how AI can be used for creating pictures or lesson plans etc.)

We kindly ask you to take this into consideration when creating your posts. Otherwise your posts might not be approved by the moderators.

Thank you in advance for your cooperation and looking forward to seeing your ideas on the forum
