Hello everyone,

My name is Izzeddin Qasem, and I’m from Palestine.
I’m a computer science teacher and a disability rights advocate.

My favorite part of my job is helping students — especially those with learning or physical challenges — discover their potential using technology.
I developed Faseeh, an inclusive Arabic language learning tool accessible to blind users and learners with disabilities.

I live with a minor motor disability, so inclusion in education is not just a concept for me — it’s a lived experience.

In my free time, I love writing, mentoring youth, and working on community tech solutions.
Looking forward to learning from all of you

I’m beyond grateful for every vote, message, and moment of support you’ve sent my way. Your encouragement means everything.

Being part of this amazing community of educators has been inspiring.
I’ve learned, connected, and grown with teachers from around the world each one bringing something unique and powerful to the table.

This wasn’t just a competition.
It was a celebration of ideas.
A space where we all stood up for accessible, inclusive, and meaningful education.

To everyone who shared their project, voted, or cheered others on...thank you.
You made this experience unforgettable.

And now, as we move into the final stage of jury evaluation, I’m rooting for each and every one of us.
Let’s keep pushing boundaries and lifting each other higher.
We’ve already made something incredible...together.

My project Faseeh is Arabic learning app for blind users and anyone who loves the language

Why is it “green”?

• list item No printing

• list item No physical textbooks

• list itemNo extra devices

• list item Minimal energy use through voice-only interaction

@Sanaa Podcasting is a powerful tool for student expression. Your use of it to promote reflection is a creative and forward-thinking approach. I believe this could be useful even for language learning. Thanks for sharing

@Hira-Tayyaba I really liked the idea of exposing students to diverse role models. This approach helps students build ambition and relate learning to real-world success. Excellent work

Your project connects geometry with real life. His offline app, The Geometry of Life, teaches Pythagoras’ and Thales’ theorems using examples from biology. It’s free, interactive, and accessible—making math meaningful and practical.

Hello everyone
I'm Izzeddin Qasem from Palestine. I’m excited to introduce my project, “Faseeh,” which was developed to support inclusive Arabic language education using assistive technology and artificial intelligence.

What is Faseeh?
Faseeh is a digital platform that teaches Arabic grammar and poetic meter (prosody) to both blind and sighted students. It uses:
• AI to analyze poetic patterns
• Screen readers and voice interaction
• A flipped classroom method for independent learning
• Braille-compatible materials

Why is it important?
Students with visual impairments rarely have access to creative language learning tools. Faseeh changes that by offering equal access to the structure and beauty of Arabic poetry.

I’d love to hear your thoughts and exchange ideas.
Let’s work together to make education more inclusive everywhere.

Thank you

Very relevant in low-resource areas. WhatsApp voice notes were useful for my blind students. When used with intention, even basic tools can create big impact

@Ridafatima95 You raised a critical issue. In my own work, I had to design tools that work offline or with screen readers for students who have limited access. Inclusion begins with accessibility—thank you for highlighting this

@Zakiasoomro project brings algebra to life. By using AI tools and low-cost local resources, she helped students understand factorization in a practical way. Her approach builds both math skills and digital confidence.

@Noor-Fatima Thank you deeply for this powerful and thoughtful feedback.

Your words captured exactly what I hoped "Faseeh" would represent a tool built from the ground up for everyone, not just adapted after the fact.

I truly believe accessibility benefits all learners, not just those with disabilities. Your recognition of that means a lot.

Let’s keep building education that includes, respects, and empowers all.

Thanks for sharing this idea my colleague. I actually tried something similar in my class, and it worked well. These quick, focused breaks really help students reset. I like how you connected it to vocabulary simple, fun, and educational. I’ll definitely try “Quick Think” with a twist. It’s great to see teachers bringing energy into learning with creative ideas like this.

@Aqsa-Nazeer Thank you Aqsa for your thoughtful message.
Your support means a lot.
I believe when educators come together with purpose, real change happens.
I’m also looking forward to learning from your work and perspective.

Let’s keep sharing and building inclusive tools that reach every learner.

@Bushra-Tahir

I was impressed by the practical use of AR and visual tools in your project.
The way you bring abstract concepts to life is something I’d love to try in language learning too.
Keep up the great work—your project adds value to 21st-century classrooms

@Engr-Zeeshan Wa Alaikum Assalam dear Engr Zeeshan,
Thank you for the kind words and encouragement.
Wishing you success in your journey as well.Wa Alaikum Assalam dear Engr Zeeshan,

@Mariya-Rajpar This is a creative and practical approach. Using reusable materials not only supports learning but teaches sustainability. I’ll consider trying this in my own inclusive classroom. Well done

@Tabbasum Thank you so much for your kind words and support.
It means a lot to see educators recognizing the value of inclusion.
I’m glad the goals behind Faseeh came through clearly.
Wishing you success in your efforts as well. Let’s keep learning from each other.

@Afshan WhatsApp is surprisingly powerful for education. I’ve seen it work well in sharing instructions with blind students using voice notes. Simple tools can become inclusive when used creatively. Thanks for highlighting this

@Sanaa Thank you so much, Sanaa. Your encouragement means a lot. I truly believe technology should serve everyone, and I’m grateful to share this journey with passionate educators like you. Looking forward to more exchange and learning together.

I love this reflection. Small inclusive changes in the classroom—like allowing screen reader access or audio responses—can open up learning for so many students. Thank you for this reminder
