Hello dear friends I congratulate all those participants whose projects were approved for peer evaluation.Today is 30th June 2025 which is last day of our peer evaluation but not the least, its our beginning for exploring the education in 21st century. I am very thankful to UNESCO to provide us a brilliant opportunity of learning beyond the boarders, countries, nations, religions, colors, races and genders. We all are like colleagues and gathered on this platform to help each other in the professional development. Peer evaluation process provided us a chance to evaluate skills, knowledge, capability, experiences, creativity of each others. I am sure this experience will profoundly impact on our development.
Wish you all the best my dearest colleagues.

*"Use of AI: Replacing Books or Enhancing Learning?"*
"Dear E-TEACH FORUM friends,
We often think AI is replacing books, but I believe it's actually opening doors to qualitative learning. AI can make bookish knowledge more engaging, interesting, and accessible. In my view, AI enhances traditional learning methods.
What do you think? How do you see AI evolving teaching and learning? Let's discuss!"

RE: Learning & Innovation Skills
Problem solving skills involves all others skills,
When students solve the given problems, they use their critical thinking, communicate with their teachers and also class fellows, they explore the environment and their innovative skills make them able to reach the solutions. -
The power of early years of child in creating strong foundation
"Hello UNESCO E-TEACH community,
I believe the early years of a child's life are critical for development. As educators, we play a vital role in shaping their future. By providing a healthy environment, we can help children grow into well-rounded personalities.
What strategies can we use to create a nurturing environment that lays a strong foundation for our children's future development?
Let's share our experiences and ideas to support early childhood education." -
RE: Teaching Every Mind: Embracing Individual Needs and Diversity
Not in today's class room but in every era, every student level of learning and development is different. Even siblings' level of of learning and development is not same. We can term it diversity, being a facilitator we can successfully take the benefits from it. We can plan our lesson in that way in which we can use the different abilities of students, we can make groups of students which possess different skills like one is good in listening , others is good speaking, reading,writing, problem solving, critical analysis, social and emotional skills, and so on. This type of groups will create a sound, fruitful and meaningful learning environment where students share their experience, insights, understanding, knowledge and skills.

RE: Gamification in Education
We can use our used items for gamification. By recycling, we can easily make games for our students. In this process we can involve our students to collect used material from their homes, students will engage and make the games by their own, which will create ownership, commitment, and learning by doing.

RE: A Simple Thought Inspired by Recent Events
We should teach the students values of respect and support them to show the respect for others in their actions.
We should teach them ethics and try to facilitate them on character building. -

RE: Need to Save Time: AI Tools for Correcting Student Writing?
@Nawres-Alabed
We might find AI tools like Turnitin, Gradescope, Grammarly, or ProWritingAid helpful for evaluating student writing and providing feedback.
These tools can save time, but we must be sure to review their feedback for accuracy and provide additional human feedback when needed. -

RE: Student-Led Classrooms: Shifting the Role of the Teacher from Instructor to Facilitator
@Mariya-Rajpar
Dear Mariya Rajpar,
My classroom is always student-centered. The advantages of this strategy include development of students' self-esteem, self-confidence, self-respect, and self-responsibility, as well as increasing motivation, interest, curiosity, and independence. Flipped classrooms, gamification, the inclusive use of technology and social media have helped me to shift my classroom from teacher-centered to a student-centered. -
RE: Helping Students Set Personal Goals
Dear Sanaa,
Setting and achieving personal and professional goals is an ongoing process, not a one-day task. As a teacher, I've seen how early guidance can shape students' aspirations. I encourage students to set educational goals, empowering them to achieve their full potential and prepare for future professional goals.
By fostering a supportive environment, I help students develop essential skills for success.

RE: Let Them Play :Learning Isnโt Always in a Textbook
@Nawres-Alabed
Dear Nawres Alabed, I completely agree! In our society, there's still a misconception about play-based learning, inquiry-based learning, and activity-based learning. Many believe that learning only happens through paperwork . As an educator, I've had to address this with students and parents, emphasizing that learning extends beyond paperwork.A perfect classroom isn't one where students sit quietly, following instructions. Rather, it's a space where students are free to explore, learn at their own pace, think critically, and ask questions.
Scientifically, modern teaching methods have numerous benefits, including developing fine and gross motor skills, fostering critical thinking, enhancing coordination among body parts, and cultivating problem-solving skills.
By shifting our perspective, we can create more effective and engaging learning environments.

RE: E-books are better than traditional textbooks
@Ridafatima95
Dear Rida Fatima,
I agree that e-books offer numerous advantages over traditional books. However, traditional books have unique benefits:- Reduced eye strain and fewer eye problems
- No dependency on devices or batteries
- Tactile experience fostering connections between fingers, eyes and mind
- Sense of ownership and attachment
A balanced approach, blending digital and traditional methods, could optimize learning experiences.

RE: Class period timing and being overwhelmed
Dear Nguyen-T-Phoung, I agree with your opinion, repeated Periods of 45 minutes is not an effective strategy. It also seems as conditional learning. To develop classrooms where students can freely learn beyond the limitations of time, strees of course completion and passing exams we should made some changes like:
- Moving beyond exam-centric approaches
- Implementing ongoing assessments
- Giving teachers autonomy in designing their schedules
- Reducing class sizes to 20-25 students
