@Bilim Could you please tell me where I can watch this webinar? Unfortunately, I joined the community a bit late and missed it. I'm always interested in hearing other educators' thoughts on the transformation of education. Thanks in advance!

@BRYANb8875625e5 I'm sorry to hear about the decision concerning the technology teacher. Perhaps you could try to persuade the management to reconsider.

@Housna
It's great to hear that your curriculum embraces individualized student development. I believe this is one of the most progressive approaches to teaching. However, it does require more resources. -

@MYLOG47799627c6 Hello Logeswari,
This is definitely a popular topic for discussion. I just want to add that a lot also depends on the teacher themselves. How willing they are to present their subject in a modern way and how effectively they utilize contemporary educational tools makes a big difference. -

@Bousl2336873cb4 Hi Chokri!
There have been no restrictions from the Ministry of Education so far. I am only confirming the training program with my Head of Secondary. -
RE: Functions of AI in education
As a computer science teacher, I sometimes ask Google AI Studio and ChatGPT to generate programming exercises, spreadsheet assignments, and database tasks. I simply give them examples of what we solve in class and ask them to generate similar tasks on the topic. In MS Excel, I write down the functions we've covered and ask it to come up with additional exercises of varying difficulty.

@Bousl2336873cb4 Thank you for your support, Chokri! Generally, I'm more interested in competitions related to CS and ICT specifically. However, I want to develop project-based learning in my school, so I'd be happy to see competitions in any field, as I will be suggesting them to my colleagues.
