@SOBIARANAM-IRFAN I wish for the completion of all goals focused on ensuring equal education for students. It's absolutely right that every student deserves equal access to quality education, which is a shared responsibility of both teachers and parents.

@Bousl2336873cb4 totally Agreed, I congratulate to everyone whose project was approved. This was my first time, but I learned a lot by seeing projects from different countries. I'm grateful to UNESCO for providing this platform where we could showcase our abilities."

Hello everyone! As educators, we're often drawn to the latest edtech tools and gadgets. But sometimes, it's the simplest tools that prove to be the most effective. ️

The pencil is one such tool that's been a staple in classrooms for centuries. Despite the rise of digital technologies, pencils remain an essential part of many students' toolkits.

Some questions to consider:

• How do you use pencils in your teaching practice?
• What benefits do pencils offer over digital tools?
• How can we harness the power of pencils to enhance creativity, critical thinking, and learning?

Let's discuss: What's the place of pencils in modern education, and how can we make the most of this timeless tool?

Hi @Hendra ! I saw your post and wanted to share my experience. My school is located in a rural area outside the city, where there's no electricity and poor network signal, making it impossible to access the internet. When I want to show YouTube activities to my students, I have to download them at home first and then show them to my students the next day, which requires adjusting my teaching strategy. Due to this situation, I mostly rely on low-cost or no-cost teaching methods since network signals are unreliable. I'd love to hear about your experiences and strategies for teaching in challenging environments!"

@M-C-46713046a8 Behaviorism, as a learning theory, focuses on observable behaviors and how they are shaped by environmental stimuli, primarily through conditioning. While it doesn't directly address Social and Emotional Learning (SEL) concepts like self-awareness, relationship skills, or responsible decision-making, certain behaviorist principles can be applied to support SEL development.

"Hello educators!
Constructivism is a learning theory that suggests students construct their own understanding and knowledge through experiences and interactions.

In a constructivist classroom, students are encouraged to:

• Explore and discover concepts through hands-on activities
• Ask questions and seek answers through inquiry-based learning
• Collaborate with peers to build knowledge and understanding
  

Questions for discussion

1. How do you incorporate constructivist principles in your teaching practice?
2. What strategies do you use to facilitate student-led learning and exploration?
3. How do you assess student learning in a constructivist classroom?
4. What challenges have you faced in implementing constructivist approaches, and how have you overcome them?

Share your experiences, insights, and ideas! "

@MUZAF85babefc9c In my simple word we use multigrade technique.

@Shaista-Begum Here's the translation:
When teachers give students the freedom to think, they will explore and reflect on various ideas, enhancing their critical thinking skills and facilitating constructivist learning.

@SAJAN-Mal jean piaget theory is based on child development theory, There is 4 stages of child development.

@Shaista-Begum Agreed , just like collaboration

Information and Communication Technology (ICT) plays a significant role in foundation learning, enhancing the teaching-learning process and improving student outcomes.

1. How can ICT be effectively integrated into foundation learning to support student engagement and achievement?
2. What are some innovative ways to use ICT in early childhood education?
3. How can teachers ensure equitable access to ICT resources for all students in foundation learning?

@Shaista-Begum Agreed Dear, This Appraoch helps turn passive student into active learner.

"I completely agree with the importance of map skills in today's world! I've found that incorporating maps across the curriculum can be a great way to make learning more interdisciplinary and engaging.

Some successful strategies I've used include:

• Geography scavenger hunts: Students use maps to find and identify different geographical features, such as mountains, rivers, or cities.
• Map-based storytelling: Students create stories that incorporate map skills, such as navigating through a fictional world or exploring historical events.
• Real-world mapping projects: Students work on projects that require them to create and interpret maps related to real-world issues, such as climate change, urban planning, or environmental conservation.

*Digital tools I've found effective:

• Story Maps: A platform that enables students to create interactive, multimedia maps that tell a story or convey information.
