Let´s have a discussion on the digital world. Who are the people of 21st century. What are their rotine works. Are we who grown in 20th century, part of 21st century. I jsut summarize these things for our better understanding.

The 21st-century generation, often called "digital natives," has grown up surrounded by technology, including smartphones, the internet, and social media. This constant exposure has shaped how they communicate, preferring quick and digital methods like texting and social media over traditional forms of interaction.

They are highly aware of global issues and cultures, thanks to easy access to information online. This awareness fuels their commitment to diversity, inclusivity, and social justice. They advocate for equal rights and opportunities for all people.

Environmental concerns are also significant to this generation. They support eco-friendly practices and are conscious of the impact their actions have on the planet.

Adaptability is a key factor, as they are quick to learn and adjust to new technologies and changes in the world. This ability helps them navigate the fast-paced, ever-evolving landscape of the 21st century.

YES, WE ARE ´´DIGITAL NATIVES``

@FarhanMehboob my lovely brother, you are very well known of the atmospheric conditions of Education in Pakistan. I think most of schools are still in level 1. Growing into level 2 is basic need of schools and for which UNESCO has organized this type of competition. Being part of this forum I feel proud.
Brother interests of every teacher here are to get more information in each and every aspect.
You gave very informative topic here. This will support to understand ICT and its uses with levels.

Dear E-Teach Forum Members,

I would like to express my concerns regarding the selection process for the "Teaching in the 21st Century 2.0" competition. Many participants, including myself, are disappointed by the decision to advance only 46 projects to the Peer Evaluation stage out of the 235 submissions received.

The competition promised a broad and inclusive platform for sharing innovative teaching practices and ideas. However, the criteria for selecting the projects that would advance to peer review were not clearly communicated. This lack of transparency has led to confusion and dissatisfaction among many participants who feel their work did not receive a fair chance to be evaluated.

I believe that all projects should have been given an opportunity to be considered in the next stage, or at least, the criteria for selection should have been more explicitly defined. This would have ensured a fairer and more transparent process, aligning with the competition’s goal of fostering global educational exchange.

I hope the organizers will consider these points for future competitions to enhance transparency and inclusivity.

Thank you for your attention to this matter.

Best regards,

Hello to the esteemed managers and education promoters,

I believe in the Oneness of Almighty Allah and that Muhammad (Salallaho Alaihe Wa Sallam) is the last prophet.

I'd like to share a few thoughts regarding the rules and regulations of the forum:

1. When a user posts a new topic, it first comes to your screens for approval.
2. After your approval, you send a notification to the post creator, allowing the topic to be viewed by any forum member.
3. If any member upvotes the post, you give a reward mark/star to the user as acknowledgment. (I’m very happy with this marking system, as it encourages us to post more topics for more rewards!)
4. If any member downvotes the post, you give a negative mark/star, indicating a controversial post. However, if another member upvotes the same post, it remains neutral. ️

This system is a fantastic and creative idea, and I am delighted with it.

However, I have a question: why do negative marks appear on a post if no member has downvoted it? I hope you can clarify this so that members better understand the rules for posting topics.

Sincerely,

@Erum-7a79c4aab0

Dear in our country Pakistan, especially in our province (Sindh) every teacher has to resemble his lesson with real life. Like wise I teach mathematics to class seven. I always try to set an example of real life problems with my lesson. Numbers and operations with daily life businesses, geometry with measurements, algebra with industrialization or huge number of products, and so on. Actually teaching with real life examples get attention of students with full of interest. Through this way students can understand real life skills and mathematics use.
I hope more views/sights will be seen from forum members.

Aslam o Alaikum dear e teach forum members,
Let´s discuss the significance of happiness in education. How does emotional well-being impact learning outcomes? What strategies can schools implement to foster a joyful learning environment?

I´ll start first...

I think in school, we often focus on grades, discipline, and hard work. But there’s something important that we sometimes forget: happiness. Happiness plays a big role in education, not just for students, but for teachers too.

I think when students are happy, they pay more attention, stay motivated, and are open to learning new things. A joyful classroom makes students more eager to join in and try new things, which helps them understand and remember what they learn better.

I think teachers happiness is also important. A happy teacher brings excitement, creativity, and energy into the classroom. This positive atmosphere spreads to the students and can make the classroom more lively and fun. When teachers enjoy their work, it shows in how they teach, leading to better learning for the students.

I think creating a happy classroom means understanding what both students and teachers need. For students, this might mean using fun activities, building a supportive community, or just making sure they feel important and listened to. And for teachers, it could mean giving them chances to grow in their jobs, recognizing their hard work, or creating a friendly and supportive work environment.

Research shows that happiness is linked to better school results. When students feel good, their thinking improves, and they become better at solving problems and being creative. Similarly, happy teachers are better at their jobs, which leads to better teaching.

I think bringing happiness into education isn’t just something extra; it’s something we really need. When both teachers and students are happy, everyone’s experience in school gets better. By making happiness a priority, we can create a classroom that is more effective, engaging, and enjoyable for everyone.

Please share your ideas in this perspective ...

Regards

Hello
I am very glad to join this creative, informative, collaborative and friendly forum. My name is Zeeshan Mahboob and I am a High School teacher working under umbrella of Sindh Education and Literacy Department Government of Sindh, Pakistan. I am working as teacher here since last 16 years and my focus is on teaching scuentific subjects specially mathematics. Here on this forum I chose topic ``Using ChatGPT and other generative AI tools to enhance learning´. I made a video on this topic by choosing National Anthem of Pakistan´ lesson from Pakistan studies subject of grades 6 to 8. It was a very hectic assignment for me to make a video in english language because i taught all subjects in local language Sindhi´. This is first experience for me to present my knowledge using AI tools and compete with teachers from 13 different countries. I am very excited now because I did my job and amke video in english language with related documents and AI tools. Inshallah I think I´ll be shortlisted for next stage. I hoping for my best.

@FarhanMehb**b said in "The Role of Technology in Modern Elementary, Secondary and Higher Secondary Education: Benefits, Challenges, and Best Practices.":

Can you please enlight about the remote areas Schools and role of technology there...

@FarhanMehb**b Dear brother Farhan,
It's wonderful to hear from you! Technology can play a big role in improving education in remote areas (rural areas) of Pakistan. It provides access to many educational resources online, like e-books, videos on youtube or any other source, and interactive learning materials. Teachers can benefit from online trainings, improving their skills and teaching methods, while students can enjoy engaging and interactive learning through educational apps and virtual classes. This helps bridge the gap between urban and rural education, ensuring quality learning for everyone.
However, challenges like reliable internet connectivity and access to devices need to be addressed. Partnering with NGOs, government initiatives, and private sectors can help overcome these barriers. Let's keep pushing for better education for all, no matter where they are.
Sending you lots of love and hugs!

@Samreen-Tahir
You are right, indeed.

Aslam o Alaikum dear Educators;
Recently, I came across a situation that made me reflect as a teacher.

We always tell our students:
“If you see someone doing something good, don’t stay quiet — say something kind.”

But what happens when they’re not allowed to speak?

How do we help them understand the value of encouragement when their words are held back not by choice, but by rules?

As educators, we face many such moments — in class, in events, even in professional spaces.

I’d love to hear from fellow teachers:
How do you teach children to support others when open praise isn’t possible?

Regards

@Izzeddin-Qasem
Aslam o Alaikum dear,
Well, keep your spirit up as there are very blessed rewards.

Hello @TatianaSh
I believe the thread you created serves the purpose of reducing communication gaps among participants in a short time and acknowledging the hard work they put into their video presentations.

If that's the case, then shouldn't someone who appreciates a project (or projects) from their own country be allowed to express central acknowledgment for the creator? Even if they cannot vote for them, they should at least be able to recognize their hard work, commitment, and dedication.

I hope the creation of this thread will indeed help bridge gaps and enhance mutual understanding.
Thank you.

Multi grade teaching can be fun and challenging at the same time. Teacher need to choose different teaching methodologies and practices in order to manage more than one class. Though, multi grade teaching can also be fun if we add more activities during our class.

Aslam o Alaikum dear,
Thanking you for your valueable insights.
I personally feel this profession very challenging. Yes it is also a fun but quite difficult for a routine.
Can you share your experiences with mentioned activities you performed? It will be more insightful ️

@Shaista-Begum said in What is role of a multi grade school teacher:

@Engr-Zeeshan multigrade teacher is not just a teacher of multiple grades, but a skilled educator who can effectively manage a diverse classroom, adapt to individual learning needs, and foster a collaborative learning environment.

Aslam o Alaikum dear,
Are you sure that a teacher in a multigrade school can go with these three techniques you mentioned as keep an eye on individual learning, foster a collaborative learning environment, and effectively manage a diverse class. Are you experiencing these techniques?
If yes, then please elaborate each technique with steps you take for more clarification.
Thanking you for your insights

@Afshan said in What is role of a multi grade school teacher:

W.salam
In a multigrade school, the role of a teacher is multifaceted and extends well beyond simply teaching assigned subjects. While subject instruction is a key part of the job, a multigrade teacher also takes on several other critical responsibilities:

1. Classroom Management:
2. Lesson Planning and Differentiation:
3. Assessment and Feedback:
4. Mentorship and Guidance:
5. Community Engagement:
6. Administrative Tasks:

Aslam o Alaikum dear,
Thanks for well description of a teacher. But I was expecting a real experience based work, which we are doing in daily basis.

@SALMAN said in What is role of a multi grade school teacher:

A teacher should make his/her lesson plan flexible so that they can teach every child equally.
They can make peer learning their tool.

You mean to say that teacher with best plans can teach his / her subjects better.
Thanks sir

@Sayeda-Afshan said in What is role of a multi grade school teacher:

teaching is part of it but their overall role is much wider and requires a lot of creativity and patience.

Aslam o Alaikum dear,
Thanks for your views, definitely teacher is not bounded in limitations.
