I love learning new approaches which can advance my career journey. Of course sharing is a must upon my return if i'm selected for the study tour. It would be great sharing new experience and knowledge with my colleagues, where they also can apply the same thing that I learnt to our students.

Hi, I completely agree that technology has provided children with new ways to interact and express themselves. The confidence they gain from these interactions can be incredibly beneficial for their social development. For me, I personally would go for Mobile Technology, given the widespread use of smartphones, educational apps and mobile-friendly websites can be a cost-effective way to provide learning opportunities.

My favourite tool would be using games to greening Edtech in classrooms. My students enjoys playing games the most in every lessons we did. So, I would go for a method to gamify the solutions.

@Mariam I agree that technology has both positive and negative impacts on children's development. To address the emotional challenges, we can implement low-cost ICT tools like refurbished devices, open-source educational software, and community-based tech programs. These solutions can ensure all children have access to essential technology, fostering an inclusive environment. It's crucial to balance tech use with offline activities to support well-rounded social and emotional growth.

@Noorulain-Khatri Absolutely agree! Gamification transforms learning by boosting engagement, confidence, and skills. It fosters a positive classroom environment where students thrive through collaboration, creativity, and resilience. I have implemented many gamified lessons in my class too

Great tip! I love using mind maps to visually organize information. It helps me see connections between concepts and makes recall easier during exams. Plus, it’s a fun and creative way to study. Looking forward to trying out the Pomodoro Technique!

Hi Teachers,

In a few days, I will be assessed by a representative from the Ministry of Education for the "Excellent Teacher's Programme." During this assessment, I will need to teach my students in front of the representative and give a presentation about my best teaching practices.

I currently use tools like Quizizz, Wordwall, ChatGPT, and Google Classroom to make my classroom more student-centered. Can you suggest any additional online tools that could further enhance my teaching and engage my students?

Thank you for your help.

@Ana_moderator I have only read about this in the textbook. One of the topic shared a text about forest school. Wish I can visit the real one. It will be very exciting and eye opening

Hello everyone,

Let's discuss how we can effectively integrate the United Nations Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs) into our classroom activities and curriculum. The 17 SDGs are a universal call to action to end poverty, protect the planet, and ensure that all people enjoy peace and prosperity by 2030. As educators, we have a unique opportunity to inspire and educate the next generation about these critical global goals.

Like for me, I always introduced my students to SDG's through collaborative project. We will find a problem, and suggest solutions that relate to any of 17 SDG's, from there my students will create a solution by referring to that SDG's. This includes to the innovation project that we did recently, where my students suggest SDG 3: Good Health and Wellbeing as chosen SDG's to combat mental health in my school. So, what they did was they created a campaign called "A candy for a smile" to give awareness to their friends about mental health awareness.

How did you guys introduced SDG's to your students? And how does it works?

@Ani-Bareghamyan Hi, this is what my school practiced to become an eco school. We will always monitor students awareness on green campaign done in school through weekly programme. For example, this week we create a project of making a dumbbells' out of recycle clothes.

@Ana_moderator Hi Ana, my submission is still under audit, and I still couldn't see the other entries for peer evaluation.

@Ana_moderator Hi Ana, is the peer evaluation and award announcement been delayed again? Also, is there any already plan date for the study tour?

@MJANKb9ddefc9b1 Thanks for sharing the classroom management tips. One of the thing I usually used to get attention from my students is by using games / tricks. It's quite fun and students did laugh a lot.

@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

@MJANKb9ddefc9b1 That's a fantastic approach! Combining motor skills with communication, collaboration, critical thinking, and creativity truly enhances learning. Engaging activities like these make education both fun and effective. Love to apply it in my class too.

@MYLOG47799627c6 Integrating green and digital education is crucial for a holistic learning environment. By merging sustainable practices with technological advancements, we prepare students to tackle future challenges. This balance fosters environmentally responsible citizens equipped with digital skills, ensuring comprehensive education that addresses both ecological and technological needs. Let's embrace this dual focus!

@Shakhnoza The VR lab project at Sehriyo School is a fantastic initiative! It not only enhances safety and access to rare resources but also makes learning engaging and interactive. The 3D visualization of complex concepts is invaluable. Plus, the cost savings and eco-friendly approach are commendable. Great job!
