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. -

RE: What's Best Teaching Tools for Improving Class Literacy?
@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. -
RE: "The Role of Technology in Modern Elementary, Secondary and Higher Secondary Education: Benefits, Challenges, and Best Practices."
@Engr-Zeeshan
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. -
RE: How to deal with anger students
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.

RE: What students need from teacher in school?
@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. -
RE: Forest schools
@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. -
RE: What activities do you design to promote creative thinking among your learners?
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.

RE: "The Role of Technology in Modern Elementary, Secondary and Higher Secondary Education: Benefits, Challenges, and Best Practices."
@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. -
RE: Activities and resources for teaching about Climate Change
First of all , the students need to teach the difference between climate change and weather which refer to different aspects of atmospheric conditions, though they are often interconnected. Here’s a breakdown of their differences:
Definition:
Weather: Refers to the short-term conditions of the atmosphere at a specific place and time. It includes elements such as temperature, humidity, precipitation, wind, and visibility. Weather can change from minute to minute, hour to hour, or day to day.
Climate Change: This describes long-term changes in the Earth's climate, specifically alterations in temperature, precipitation patterns, and other climate metrics over extended periods (typically decades to centuries). Climate change involves trends and shifts in the average weather conditions over a long timeframe.Timescale:
Weather: Short-term (minutes to days).
Climate Change: Long-term (decades to centuries).Scope:
Weather: Local or regional, specific to a particular area at a given time.
Climate Change: Global or regional, observed over large areas and extended periods.Predictability:
Weather: Generally predictable in the short term using weather forecasts.
Climate Change: Predictable over long periods based on scientific models and data, though there is some inherent uncertainty in long-term predictions.Impacts:
Weather: Affects daily activities and short-term conditions (e.g., whether to carry an umbrella).
Climate Change: Has broad, long-term impacts such as sea-level rise, changes in biodiversity, and shifts in weather patterns that can affect agriculture, ecosystems, and human societies on a global scale.In summary, weather is what we experience day-to-day, while climate change refers to the longer-term shifts in atmospheric patterns that can influence the general trends in weather over time

RE: Traditional VS flipped classroom for adaptive and individualized learning
@Ana_moderator
Flipped classroom model replaced the traditional classroom because FC emphasizes active learning which means it engages with discussions, problem-solving, and collaborative activities, which can lead to deeper understanding compared to passive learning like lecture mode. The things that need to be given attention is that all students may have equal access to the necessary technology at home, such as computers or reliable internet connections. Poor socio-economic background parents facing problems. Secondly, are all students, especially the primary children disciplined to access the assignments on time? Good parental care is needed here. But both parents are busy with their work. These are the main problems I am facing while implementing the flipped classroom in my school. So, finally I'm doing partial flipped classroom. -
RE: Stress-management for students (and teachers): activities to reduce stress (new ideas each week!)
I still remember my grandparents having misunderstandings or voices no matter what , they just left from there, went and sat on the balcony and watched the sky, moon and stars. Just a few minutes or hours, then back to normal conversations. Now I understand it is also a method of relieving stress.

RE: Job Description of a teacher
@Raj-Kumar
i. A primary school teacher role is quite wide and multifaceted whereas it carries significant responsibility in shaping the educational and personal development of young learners. The main role is to impart knowledge and foster intellectual growth in students with the skills and values they need to succeed in school and beyond.ii. As a primary school teacher, there are several functions of my role that I particularly enjoy. One of the most fulfilling aspects of teaching is witnessing the growth and progress of my students academically and co-academic. Celebrating their achievements, in their development as lifelong learners is one of the most fulfilling parts of my job. besides building strong relationships with my students.
iii. The most challenging for me is the frequent changes in educational policies. Teachers often have heavy workloads especially the education policies changes like exam oriented to evaluate students performance level within limited time. Balancing all these demands can lead to stress and burnout if not managed effectively.
iv. I try to balance my time with administrative tasks, paper works, lesson planning, students grading, professional development, and personal life can be difficult.
v. Meeting the challenges required a few strategies and skills like focus on high-impact activities that directly support the student learning and develop efficient systems for lesson planning, students grading, paper works and administrative tasks. The adaptation of technology makes my work easily done.

RE: Let's talk about climate change affect in the educational system?
@Burfatmukhtiar
Schools may face disruptions or damage from extreme weather events such as floods, dry weather season or wildfires affecting the physical safety and accessibility of school buildings. Increasing temperatures can lead to heatwaves, affecting students' and teachers' health and comfort, particularly in schools without adequate cooling systems. Schools need to adapt to changing resource availability like water shortages and incorporate climate resilience into their infrastructure planning. There is an increasing need for education on climate science, environmental sustainability, and ecological systems. Schools should integrate these topics into their curriculum to raise awareness and empower students to take action. -
RE: Everything we can do is with Technology!
@DMM-I0f47787e53
Absolutely, integrating technology into education has become increasingly crucial and every teacher around the world is fighting for that. It is because technology allows students and educators to access vast amounts of information instantly and deeper learning beyond traditional reading materials. Moreover, the digital tools make learning more interactive and create interest through interactive exercises. Through technology, not even classrooms can connect globally, fostering cross-cultural understanding and collaboration among educators from different parts of the world like we are discussing in this platform. For these reasons, technology is essential for a future career. So, educators are needed to prepare students with the digital skills and literacy required in the modern workforce. -
RE: **Qualified Teacher and Experienced Teacher.**
@FarhanMehboob
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.
