    • RE: Creating interactive lessons with Canva

      Yes, we have tried student-led energy-saving activities as well. The students conducted energy audits of their classrooms, observed the use of fans and lights, and learned to switch off unnecessary devices. They also created posters to spread awareness among their peers about conserving energy. As a result, the students not only became more aware but also started acting as responsible citizens. These activities helped boost their self-confidence and encouraged teamwork.

      @Ana_moderator My name is Maira Soomro, and I am from Pakistan. I work as a JEST (Junior Elementary School Teacher), and I truly enjoy engaging with young learners and helping them grow through creative and meaningful learning experiences. In my spare time, I like reading, exploring new ideas, and watching educational content. I believe that every child has the potential to shine, and as a teacher, it is my mission to inspire, guide, and nurture that potential every single day😍☺️

    • RE: Creativity in the Classroom: How Are You Cultivating Young Innovators? Post:

      Hi!
      Creativity in the classroom plays a vital role in nurturing young innovators. As a teacher, I cultivate innovation by encouraging students to ask questions, think critically, and explore different ways to solve problems. I create a supportive environment where students feel safe to express their ideas without fear of being wrong. Through project-based learning, hands-on activities, and integration of STEAM subjects, I help them connect knowledge with real-life situations. I also give students the freedom to choose how they want to present their learning, which boosts their confidence and ownership. By focusing on the learning process rather than just the final result, and promoting a growth mindset, I guide my students to become creative thinkers and lifelong learners.

    • RE: Information teachnology (IT) v/s Instructional technology (EdTech)

      @Yousuf-Memon You’ve chosen a very good and meaningful topic. The comparison between Information Technology (IT) and Instructional Technology (EdTech) is not only interesting but also highly relevant in today’s world. It highlights how technology can be applied in different ways — whether for managing information or enhancing teaching and learning. I really appreciate the way you brought this up, as it opens the door for thoughtful discussion and deeper understanding.

    • RE: Preparing Students for the next Decade.

      @Oojala-Tasneem In the next decade, students will need a blend of essential skills to succeed in a rapidly evolving world. Digital literacy will be crucial as technology continues to shape every aspect of life. Critical thinking and problem-solving will help them analyze situations and find effective solutions. Creativity will enable them to generate new ideas and adapt to change. Strong communication skills will be necessary for expressing ideas clearly, while collaboration will allow them to work effectively in teams. Emotional intelligence will help them understand and manage emotions, both their own and others’. Adaptability and resilience will be vital for facing challenges and uncertainty. Leadership skills will empower them to take initiative and guide others. Data literacy will become important for making informed decisions using information and statistics. Lastly, global awareness will help students become responsible citizens who understand and contribute to solving worldwide issues.

    • RE: Developing intrinsic motivation among learners

      @LISELLI That’s a very thoughtful approach. I also believe that building intrinsic motivation starts with helping students feel successful and connected to the learning. One strategy that has worked well for me is giving students choices in their assignments, which gives them a sense of ownership. I also try to connect lessons to real-life situations or topics that interest them—like using examples from local culture, community issues, or their personal interests. Additionally, I provide regular, positive feedback that focuses on effort and progress rather than just outcomes. This helps students see learning as a journey and feel proud of their growth.

    • Education and AI

      Today’s students aren’t just using AI — they’re creating with it.
      From building their own chatbots with ChatGPT, generating wild art with AI image tools, or coding smart solutions in Scratch, they’re exploring what’s possible — and then making it real.

      🎨💬🤖 Whether it's designing a digital friend, solving real-world problems, or imagining the next big thing… AI is opening doors we never thought possible in school!

      🔧 They’re not just learning tech — they’re becoming innovators.

      Just imagine: a student-built chatbot that helps reduce classroom stress… or AI-generated posters for a clean city campaign. 💡🌍
      What do YOU think?
      Should every student learn how AI works — or is using it enough?
      Drop your thoughts below ⬇️ Let's spark a real conversation! 💬🔥

    • RE: Offline educational tools or websites

      Thank you for sharing your thoughtful approach! It’s great to hear that you’re prepared with offline options—downloading videos in advance and enabling offline access for tools like Google Slides and Sheets is a smart strategy. I completely agree that having a backup plan is essential, especially in schools where internet access can be inconsistent.

      Some additional offline educational resources that can be useful include:

      Khan Academy Offline – You can download lessons and videos using the Khan Academy app.

      Wikipedia Offline (Kiwix) – Kiwix allows you to download Wikipedia and other content for offline browsing.

      PhET Simulations – Many science and math simulations from PhET can be downloaded and used without internet.

      LibreOffice – A free suite of tools similar to Microsoft Office, great for creating lesson materials offline.

      It would be wonderful if others could also share the offline tools or resources they use. Together, we can build a helpful list for all educators working in low-connectivity areas.

      Thanks again for starting this important conversation!

    • RE: Emotional Intelligence

      @Anum-Rafay
      Yes, emotional intelligence should be taught in schools because it helps students understand and manage their emotions, build healthy relationships, and make responsible decisions. By learning skills such as empathy, self-awareness, and emotional regulation, students can improve their communication and reduce conflicts. Emotional intelligence also supports mental well-being and academic success, as emotionally strong students are better able to focus, handle stress, and work collaboratively. Teaching emotional intelligence prepares children not just for exams, but for life.
