What are some dynamic approaches learners can use to stay engaged and absorb knowledge more effectively ?

Learning and innovation skills are required to prepared students for increasingly complex life and work environments in today's world. These skills include:
• Creativity and Innovation
• Critical Thinking and Problem Solving
• Communication
• Collaboration
Let’s discuss these skills

I am Alwesha a primary school teacher from Matiari Sindh, Pakistan. I have done M.A in English. Professionally I have done BEd. I am passionate about teaching and learning.
My favourite part of job is to engage my self with students and do hands on activities, getting out of the class and experience learning with pleasant environment.
In my spare time I used to spend time on mobile through scrolling social media apps and read news Articles

How do you use innovative use of social media in your classroom ?
How do you insure that social media use in your classroom supports students learning outcome ?
Share your experience

Teachers understand instructional planning, and short-term plans based upon knowledge of subject matter, students community, curriculum goals, and design purposeful learning experiences using diverse methods to engage all students, meet curriculum standards and employ a variety of developmentally appropriate strategies in order to promote critical thinking, problem solving and performance skills of all learners .

Absolutely agree! Student-led classrooms not only build confidence but also prepare students for real-world collaboration and problem solving and that make students more active and critical thinker. @Mariya-Rajpar

In my point of view grades should be replaced because they just shows number not students learning, capacity and creativity. Competency based learning show how much student know and can do and indeed portfolio shows their creativity in portfolio and progress over time. These methods are more student cantered, more meaningful to assess their learning and capabilities.that way students would be focused on learning not just getting marks and grades.

@Hendra Thank you so much, Hendra, for your kind and thoughtful feedback. I truly appreciate your words . You’re absolutely right implementing the flipped classroom approach does require extra effort and time , but seeing the students engaged and learning meaningfully makes it all worth it, and I loved this method Flipped classroom that changed the game more time, deeper learning, and stronger student connection.
I’m glad the activity inspired you in some way. We all learn from one another, and your encouragement motivates me to keep trying new things in the classroom. Wishing you continued success and joy in your own teaching journey as well! thanks

Kinaesthetic learners are all about doing things physically. Role playing, like hands on learning style where people understand best by doing, flashcards or carrying out the actions physically can help them learn things better. Instead of reading or listening, they grasp concepts through movement, touch, and physical experience.

Let’s discuss some Kinaesthetic Learning Activities to build activity bank 🧠🧐

Human Sentence Train ‍️
What it is:
Students each hold a word card (like “The,” “cat,” “runs”).
They move around, then line up in the right order to form a sentence—becoming a living sentence train.

️Prepare Word Cards
Write nouns, verbs, adjectives, etc., on cards and place them in different boxes or baskets around the room.Call out a task like:
Find a verb and act it out! 🤫
Grab an adjective and match it to a noun!

‍️ Run and Match
️Place word cards (e.g., apple, run, happy) on one side of the room.
️‍️Place matching cards (pictures or meanings) on the other side.
‍️Students run, grab a word, then run to match it with the correct picture or meaning.
Example:
Student picks “apple”, then runs to match it with a picture of an apple.

Visual learning:
Visual or spatial learners supposedly retain information best by viewing picture or images and respond well to colours , diagrams, charts, videos, written directions and mind maps ️

“I see and I remember.”
“I need to see it to believe it.”

Visual learning makes information easier to understand, faster to remember, and more enjoyable to learn.

Clarity Turns complex into simple
🧠 Memory Boosts recall through strong visual links
Speed Learn faster with pictures and patterns
Creativity Inspires deeper understanding
Motivation Makes learning fun and engaging

1. Use Color Coding
   → Highlight or underline with different colors for topics or categories.
   2. 🧠 Create Mind Maps
   → Draw topic trees to show connections between ideas.
   3. ️ Turn Words into Images
   → Sketch symbols, icons, or diagrams for hard concepts.
   4. Use Flashcards with Pictures
   → Add visuals to vocabulary or definitions.
   5. Watch Educational Videos
   → Use animations or explainer videos for complex subjects.
   6. ️ Use Charts & Diagrams
   → Turn data or lists into visual formats (graphs, cycles, timelines).
   7. Stick Notes & Visual Cues
   → Place sticky notes or posters around your space to reinforce learning.
   8. Make Visual Summaries
   → After reading, summarise with drawings, charts, or comic strips.

“Show me and I will remember; involve me and I will understand.”
— Chinese Proverb

@Samia-mhad18 Thank you so much for your kind words about my project! I really appreciate you taking the time to share your thoughts—it means a lot.️

Dear @Nawres-Alabed
An innovative and engaging project! ‘Battle of the Emperors’ successfully brings ancient history to life through gamification, making learning fun and memorable. It’s clear this approach boosts student interest and understanding well done!”

@TatianaSh
@Moham323d135850 I truly appreciate the creative approach taken with the Seasons memory game board. Using visuals to engage younger students is both smart and effective—it turns learning into a fun and interactive experience. The addition of a scoreboard and reward badges is a thoughtful touch that keeps students motivated and excited to participate. By turning the lesson into a game, he’s not only deepening their understanding but also encouraging teamwork and positive competition.

@Izzeddin-Qasem Impressive work on developing such an inclusive initiative like Faseeh.your project shows a practical and inclusive approach to Arabic language learning. The combination of grammar, vocabulary, and poetry with interactive features makes the app useful for a variety of learners. The voice function is a valuable addition, especially in supporting visually impaired students. It’s a well-thought-out tool that addresses real classroom needs.

@TatianaSh
Dear @HAZAR0c50a82765 Today I voted for your project. Your work shows a thoughtful blend of traditional and digital art. It’s great to see students exploring both worlds creatively, especially with limited resources. The approach is practical and relevant to today’s learning environment.

Teachers understand instructional planning, and short-term plans based upon knowledge of subject matter, students community, curriculum goals, and design purposeful learning experiences using diverse methods to engage all students, meet curriculum standards and employ a variety of developmentally appropriate strategies in order to promote critical thinking, problem solving and performance skills of all learners .

@Ridafatima95 I completely agree with this. Gender discrimination affects both girls and boys, and it’s so important that schools create inclusive spaces where everyone feels equal and supported. We need to break these stereotypes and give every student the chance to grow and succeed.
