Expert advice on how to improve your relationship with tech – and each other.
Raising kids in the digital world can be hard. Technology is changing fast. It’s not always easy for parents or teachers to guide children. But by working together, we can help kids stay safe and smart with tech.

1. Ask your child questions
Teacher: “Parents, talk to your child about their devices like you do with their schoolwork.”
Parent: “What games do you like? What don’t you like? How much time do you spend on it?”
Child: “I like drawing apps! I don’t like too many ads.”

2. Discuss the risks of technology use.
Parent: “Sometimes I worry you might see something not good online or spend too much time on the phone.”
Child: “I didn’t think about that.”
Teacher: “Talking honestly helps kids understand what’s okay and what’s not.”

3. Be on the lookout for underlying issues.
Teacher: “If your child is always on their phone, maybe they’re feeling left out or stressed.”
Parent: “Let’s talk. Are you okay? Is something bothering you?”
Child: “Sometimes I feel nervous about my school friends.”

4. Make “yes” and “no” rules.
Parent: “Yes rules: Be kind online. Use your time well. Learn something new.”
Child: “Okay! What about the no rules?”
Teacher: “No rules: Don’t share personal info. Don’t be mean online. Don’t use unknown websites.”

5. Create tech-free zones.
Parent: “Let’s keep phones away during dinner and bedtime.”
Child: “Can we make a charging box in the lounge?”
Teacher: “Great idea! Sleep and family time are very important.”

6. Establish expectations around content.
Teacher: “Use apps that match your child’s age and understanding.”
Parent: “Ask us before installing anything new, okay?”
Child: “Sure! Can we check a new game together?”

Be aware of your children’s use of devices.
7. Explore technology together.
Parent: “Let’s watch a fun learning video together.”
Child: “I’ll show you how I made this digital drawing!”
Teacher: “When parents join in, it becomes a shared experience.”

8. Know when to take a step back.
Parent: “We’ll help guide you at first, and slowly give you more freedom.”
Child: “That sounds fair.”
Teacher: “It’s all about trust and learning step by step.”

Model healthy habits for your children.
9. Act as a team.
Parent: “We’ll also try to use phones less during family time.”
Child: “Let’s have a no-phone Sunday!”
Teacher: “That’s teamwork – not just rules for kids, but for everyone.”
Copied.
10. Make it playful!
Child: “Can we find a cooking video and try it together?”
Parent: “Yes! And later, let’s play that math game you love.”
Teacher: “When tech is used for fun learning, it becomes a great tool for bonding.”

Good health and hygiene are very important for all children.
Clean hands, clean clothes and clean schools help us stay healthy.
If we are healthy, we can play, learn and grow better.
Brushing teeth and washing hands stop many diseases.
Safe drinking water and clean toilets are basic needs.
All children should get these basic health facilities.

Now technology is a big part of our learning.
We can study using mobile phones, laptops and smart boards.
Online classes, learning apps and videos make study easy.
But it should not only help rich or city children.
Inclusive technology means every child can use it —
Children with disabilities can use audio books and speech tools.
Children who cannot walk can learn from home using the internet.
Children in villages can watch lessons on TV or mobile.
This is how technology becomes equal and fair for everyone.
We must help every child to learn, no matter where they are.
Our teachers can use projectors, visual aids and sign language.
Clean schools, caring teachers and helpful tools make learning better.
Let’s make a future where every child is safe, clean and smart.
Together with health, hygiene and inclusive technology, we can build a better world.

What do you think, How can technology help children with disabilities or in remote areas?

Thank You and Happy Teacher day

@Mariam Dear Mariam,
Games make lessons fun and engaging, helping students grasp concepts better and remember them longer. Teaching through games and competitions can greatly enhance learning both in the classroom and in school. Competitions encourage active participation and motivation, fostering a dynamic and interactive learning environment.

Overall, these methods can make education more enjoyable and effective.

@OLAEL62ff0ca365 Thanks for sharing such a wonderful post. I am gonna search on it and will take my time how it's going to help me in learning and knowledge.

@Samreen-Tahir Your points really helpful for students and also for primary students. Using micro teaching techniques students will learn more and in energetic way.

Cricket is an excellent game for enhancing physical activity and motor skills. It involves running, throwing, and catching, which improve cardiovascular fitness and hand-eye coordination. Playing cricket also helps in building muscle strength, agility, and reflexes. Additionally, the sport promotes teamwork and strategic thinking, contributing to overall mental and physical well-being.

@Samreen-Tahir Dear Tahir,
You have described it very well. In your opinion, which option would be most beneficial for children? Since we have different categories of children, each child has their own unique needs. What are your thoughts on this matter? Thank you.

@Sanwan Dear Sanwan,
Which level you are using in the classroom now a days. The holidays are over there and the classes are running.

@Ana_moderator Thanks for asking tricky and logical question. Well, I like Based on my score Authoritative Style, which focuses on creating a structured environment while also considering student's input and emotional well-being.
I value both classroom control and student engagement, aiming to guide students with clear expectations and explanations.

A techy teacher uses modern technology to make learning fun and effective. They teach with online lessons, apps, and digital tools to help students learn better. This approach connects traditional learning with new technology.

1. ChatGPT can be integrated by using it as a research tool, a writing assistant, and a discussion starter, helping students explore topics and think critically.

2. To ensure accuracy, always cross-check information from ChatGPT with trusted sources and teach students to do the same.

3. Ethical concerns can be addressed by setting clear guidelines for AI use, respecting privacy, and promoting responsible usage in the classroom.

4. Balance AI tools with human interaction by using AI for tasks like information gathering, while still focusing on teacher-led discussions, feedback, and mentorship.

@Helena Dear,
ChatGPT is a great tool and can be used for education in the 21st century. I've used it in my class a number of times. I usually divide my students into class groups as it is a multicast school and give each group a topic to learn about. Since my students don't have internet access, I use ChatGPT on my own mobile to help them search for information. They then create a mind map from the information we find. It makes learning fun and helps them improve their research skills.

@Samar-Mohamed Great Dear Friend and thanks for sharing this wonderful post.

I think Project-Based Learning (PBL) is a teaching method where students learn by actively working on real-world projects. It helps them develop problem-solving skills and apply what they learn in practical ways.
