    • Empowering Learners Like Me – Faseeh, an Arabic App for All Abilities

      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

    • What a journey

      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.

    • RE: Podcasting for reflective learning

      @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

    • RE: Shaping Dreams Through Role Models – Let’s Rethink Who Inspires Our Students!

      @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.

    • RE: “Quick Think” – A Fun Brain Break Game

      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.

    • RE: Educational Trip to Beijing. Thoughts, Insights, Impressions

      Hello dear colleagues

      I am deeply honored to have represented Palestine as one of the winners of Teaching in the 21st Century 2025, and to take part in an unforgettable China Study Tour organized by UNESCO IITE, NetDragon, and Beijing University.

      From day one, it felt like meeting old friends our previous connection through the e-Forum made everything familiar and warm. The welcome was full of energy, and the coordination by the organizers and volunteers was simply flawless.

      Global Smart Education Conference 2025

      One of the highlights was attending and speaking at the Global Smart Education Conference and the Technology Exhibition Corner at Beijing University was a great part. . Also listening to inspiring sessions on AI in education, accessibility, and future skills gave me fresh perspectives and practical tools to implement back home.

      School and Technology Visits

      Visiting THISDL International School was eye opening the creative learning spaces, student artwork displayed proudly on the walls, integration of sports and arts, and the focus on wellbeing truly stood out. I especially admired their wellness room for teachers — a reminder that teacher wellbeing is essential for great learning.

      At iFlytek showroom, I explored cutting-edge tools like smart translation devices, AI grading machines, and interactive learning boards. Many of these ideas can be adapted with low-cost solutions for my own school.

      Cultural Experiences

      The cultural visits — from the Temple of Heaven to the National Library of China, and the Great Wall — gave me a deeper appreciation of Chinese history, architecture, and traditions. I even tried eating with chopsticks for the first time!

      This journey was more than a trip. It was an exchange of knowledge, cultures, and friendships. I return home with new ideas, stronger motivation, and precious memories.

      My heartfelt thanks to Tatiana, Nicole, Jennifer, Lanya, and all the amazing volunteers for making every moment special. I’m also grateful to all the fellow winners each one inspired me in their own way.

    • Faseeh – Teaching Arabic Prosody with AI and Inclusion

      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

    • RE: Use of social media can enhance communication skills and increase students engagement

      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

    • RE: Lack of access to technology

      @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.

      @Erum Zahid
      Great work, Erum. Your project reflects a strong understanding of what motivates students today.
      Gamification is not just a trend it’s a tool that, when used right like you did, increases attention, participation, and enjoyment.
      I appreciate how your classroom becomes a space where learning feels like a challenge students want to take, not avoid.

      Your methods can easily be replicated by others. Clear, simple, and powerful. Well done.

      @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

      It means a lot to see educators recognizing the value of inclusion.
      I’m glad the goals behind Faseeh came through clearly.
