In 2016 I start the STEM program for children age 10. I start it with 30 children. I create a good relationship with parents to set up a conducive classroom for STEM program which is totally different view compare to ordinary classroom which is concern on exam oriented teaching methods. I explain the purpose of STEM education ‘E’ plan. At the end of the year, these 30 children progress in academic and co-academic is far different compare other class students with same age. The community request to start the program to other classes. This is a good impact for me to continue the ‘E’ plan system. "E” instruction is my approach to educate children that allow them to become concrete and make practical sense. Encourage students to become global citizens and encourage parents, family members and the community towards students’ progress. Many surveys shows, Pupils study for passing exams. More teachers, parent even students are eager to score ‘A’ in subjects. My approach is more to ‘E’s than collect ‘A’ in subjects. Simply say, convert from ‘A’ thinking to ‘E’ thinking. Even though I had given a standardized syllabus, I used a different approach which made my students sparkled in community. I Emphasize my students more to Experimenting hands-on works, do more Exploration, create Enjoyable learning environment, Exhibit their works and get more Experiences. As a teacher, I Educate and Evaluate the Effectiveness of my teaching. My expectation to the parents is they should give more Exposure, Encouragement and Engaging with school activities and keep Evaluate their attitude. So, I emphasize my community to concentrate on “E” environment education which stands for (Enjoyable, Experimental, Explore, Exposure, Emphasize, Evaluate and etc.)

As no comparison with our eyes, qualification considers one eye and experience is another eye. The weightage of both are equal. When qualifications and experience are combined, educators can draw on both theoretical knowledge and practical wisdom to enhance student learning. So, the best educators are those who continually seek to improve through a balance of both qualifications and practical experience.

Thank you for such an effective reward system that encourages and increases the motivational level for participating actively in the forums.

Aging especially older adults who are still working in schools face more challenges in adopting new technologies in teaching process due to generational gaps or lack of ICT knowledge. The senior teachers / experts in field couldn't transfer their knowledge as their wish.

The ‘E’ education plan is designed to help young children in my school to develop the life skills through hands on and innovation activities. The main objective of this program is to prepare students for future by empowering them with the practical life skills. This ‘E’ idea had nurtured the students’ inborn creativity and published students’ ideas than just as a consumer. Through this exposure, all the science literacies, technologies, reading, writing and typing skills are play an important role in every aspects of the children’s pshyco motor development. This program boosting and generate interest in learning and strengthen their curiosity and cultivate a habit of active learning. It also helps to broaden their minds in literacy and scientific skills. The children’s involvement in Young Inventors activities promote their comprehensive development too. The young inventors programs not even stimulate students mind for advance learning but they become more independent to communicate, highly creative thinkers, keep on trying attitude, keen to explore, love to read and give valuable feedbacks. An integrated approach of the innovation programs help students understand not only what they are learning but also why and how their learning can be applied

Yes, At the start-up , I didn't realize the E-concept in the STEM education for students aged 10. Some of the essential skills and concepts I focus on are based on environmental studies. While I gave a briefing to parents about STEM activities , I request to encourage and emphasize the importance of science skills especially kids need to explore more from home to school. In school I conduct the experiments and evaluate their progress in academics and behavior. During the children conduct the activities they enjoyed. So, in every part of the activity, the E words played an important role. Then I came to a conclusion that pupils need ‘E’s’ not only A’s in subjects. This is the background of my ‘E-plan .

Exactly, watching cartoons, making models using blocks, origami paper folding activities and fixing Lego parts has the potential to increase kids' creative thinking. The early birds to school, we arranged such activities so that they won’t waste their time.

hello, I am not taking part in ' teaching in the 21st century teacher's competition 3.0'. Anyhow I would like to share my ideas in the forum discussions. What I knew from previous year, we can view our participation details and rewards tokens we collect in our profile page. My suggestion is can send us digital certificates for our forum discussions according to the tokens.

hi, I am loges. I am teaching for primary students age 7-12 years old. I would like to share my ideas that I implement during the covid-19 pandemic time. I create a new norm classroom lesson time table for my students. Event though they are n ot enter to school, still i could conduct the lessons as usual without face to face.

Here i attach a link for you all.

https://docs.google.com/presentation/d/1bwx9k4YCnyY5k5pswQsAaildUhSc6Pp6nGMPz0KdFog/edit?usp=sharing

you can click the subject that going to learn. Example : click Maths. The maths lesson with full activity will appear step by step. Pupils can follow the steps and learn their own self.

You can try my idea.

Hi, in my experiences after the covid pandemic, the flipped classrooms given more important to overcome certain problems such students attendants, their interest in using gadgets and duration availability of the lessons to complete. Of course the attraction in flipped classrooms more effectively compare to traditional classrooms. More over, globally there is education transformation focused to ICT based classrooms created more to flipped based classrooms.

Mineral Salts and Plant Productivity

Truly its a good project to grow more production in agricultural. Balancing level of nutrients helps plant growth. The thing is need to do PH testing on the soil too. Because other organisms also living in the earth. Uneven salt nutrients also may become less soluble or even toxic. If acidic level increases in soil the microbes may be inhibited, affecting organic matter decomposition and nutrient availability.
Otherwise alkaline level increases can reduce microbial activity and slow down nutrient recycling. So, regular testing on the soil will be helps for you project to increase more crops too. Overall it is a good project to overcome global food crisis. Good idea. voted.

Recently I attended a course about AI in education. I share a few info may benefit us.

@Sahar730dd459d2
hello Sahar. The poor students need more on concreate learning environment and involves senses like sound, touch and feel and sight senses. So, you can create any tools that engage multi senses. Currently sensor pen is available. You also can think to design AI-powered tutoring system to improve your class literacy.

Thank you for your review and interest on my solutions in my school. Actually, setting clear expectations through some maintenance agreements like follow-up upgrading's or regular services may ensure the potential for a long last. In my school , we have a skill based alumni students team to do the maintenance voluntarily. It reduces the expanses and increases man power to guide teachers to upgrade their knowledge on IT.

Psychologically anger is not an inborn feeling. Anger is a natural emotional response to perceived threats, frustration, or injustice. It can manifest in different ways depending on the person and the situation. Handling anger in students requires a thoughtful and empathetic approach to help them manage their emotions constructively. They need space to cool down. Allow them to express their feelings. Let the student know that you're there to help and support them through their feelings of anger. Once the student is ready, suggest simple relaxation techniques such as deep breathing or counting to ten. These can help calm their emotions. Don’t forget to follow up with the student in anger privately.

@Engr-Zeeshan
In reality, students generally prefer a positive and supportive classroom environment where they feel respected & valued and not compared with other children. Their expectation is less homework and more to hands-on work. Let’s think about No Stressful Education whether it is e-learning or traditional learning system. Maybe they like it.

@BRYANb8875625e5
Reading under a tree really makes a peaceful environment. Once upon a time, when I was 8 years old my teacher brought us to read under a tree. I sit and memorize the time table by napping on the grass floor and see the sky and clouds with nature wind blowing. BRYAN… sure it will be a fruitful activity for you.

@Engr-Zeeshan said in "The Role of Technology in Modern Elementary, Secondary and Higher Secondary Education: Benefits, Challenges, and Best Practices.":

Q3: What challenges have you faced in integrating technology, and how did you overcome them?

The usage of technologies in primary or secondary schools based on the facilities in schools. Like rural schools, even getting electricity is challenging. How they can think about internet connectivity. Most of the schools in rural areas also have the building not affordable for the technology equipment like computers, tablets, and other devices needed for students to access digital learning resources. So introducing technology in rural schools depends on the facilities they have.
Firstly, they need infrastructure improvement. Secondly, need fundings for acquiring computers, tablets, and educational software. The schools also need to get ready for maintenance challenges.
