@Ridafatima95 Grades could be replaced with competency-based assessment, supported by portfolios, to better show real skills and growth instead of just test scores.

RE: AI IS BECOMING THE INTEGRAL PART OF THE CURRICULUM
@Quratulain I agree with your perspective. AI literacy is quickly becoming as essential as reading and math. When integrated thoughtfully, AI doesn’t replace critical thinking it amplifies it, giving students new ways to analyze, create, and explore. The key, as you suggest, is balance: using AI to open doors while still grounding education in ethics, creativity, and human judgment.

RE: "EduBot Meets Emotions ,Humanism Challenges AI in the Preschool Classroom"
@Shaista-Begum Beautifully said technology can assist, but it can never replace the human heart at the core of learning.

RE: “AI Can Type, But You Must Think:Revisiting Dewey in the Digital Era”
@Shaista-Begum Dewey’s words still ring true. Writing is not a mechanical act; it’s an act of thinking out loud. When students are given opportunities to write about ideas that matter to them not just assignments they begin to see writing as a tool for discovery and connection. If schools focus only on handwriting drills or formulaic essays, we miss the deeper purpose: helping students shape and share their thoughts in ways that affect others.

RE: Inclusive Teaching
@Yousuf-Memon Inclusive teaching addresses diverse student needs by considering disability, neurodiversity, multilingualism, gender identity, race, socioeconomic background, learning preferences, resource accessibility, and ensuring inclusive participation.

RE: Teaching Global Citizenship: More Than a Lesson, It's a Mindset 🌍
@Nawres-Alabed I teach global citizenship by integrating real-world issues, encouraging empathy through storytelling, promoting collaboration across cultures, and fostering respect, responsibility, and critical thinking in every lesson.

RE: Teaching with Different Types of Intelligence in Mind
@Nawres-Alabed I adapt my teaching by using varied activities like group discussions, hands-on projects, music, visuals, and reflection to engage different intelligences and help each student connect with the material in their own way.

RE: Assessing Learning
@Yousuf-Memon Great point! Effective assessment involves using appropriate methods to measure progress, align with policies, and support learning through meaningful feedback.

RE: Discussing current affairs in the classroom
@Kanwal-Zaman Well said! Current affairs discussions enhance critical thinking, real-world connections, and promote informed, active citizenship among students.

RE: Giving Feedback
@Yousuf-Memon Your article makes a good point about the importance of giving feedback, especially creative feedback. To improve clarity and flow, consider breaking up long sentences and avoiding repetition like "errors/weaknesses of their areas of learning." Keep it concise and focused.

RE: Education VS unemployment 🤜🤛
@Nawres-Alabed Education sits at a crossroads between personal growth and workforce preparation. We make advanced study hard to ensure depth and rigor, but that often narrows access and choice. Meanwhile, unemployment persists because education doesn’t always align with market needs, and jobs aren’t just about skills—they're about systems, economies, and access. It’s a complex mismatch between ideals and realities.

RE: How to fight stress in classroom?
@Nawres-Alabed You're not alone
mid-term burnout is real. I try to build in quick mindfulness breaks (even 2 minutes of deep breathing), ease up on the pace when possible, and create space for students to share how they’re feeling. A little empathy and flexibility can go a long way for everyone. -
RE: From a Teacher’s Heart💔: How Do We Make Students Read Again?
@Nawres-Alabed You're not alone it’s a growing challenge. Try connecting books to their world: graphic novels, audiobooks, TikTok-famous titles, or stories that reflect their lives. Let them choose and own their reading. Curiosity comes alive when they feel seen.

RE: Student Learning Styles
@SAJAN-Mal Learning styles include visual (learning by seeing), auditory (learning by hearing), kinesthetic (learning by doing), and reading/writing preferences. Understanding these helps teachers tailor instruction to meet students’ needs and improve engagement and retention.

RE: Why We Should Teach Emotional Intelligence in Schools
@Nawres-Alabed Teaching emotional intelligence helps students build resilience, empathy, and strong relationships—skills they’ll use for life. It’s just as vital as academics in preparing them for the real world.

RE: Life skills integration struggles 🤔🤔
@Nawres-Alabed Schools can integrate life skills by embedding them into existing subjects, offering short, focused workshops, training teachers through professional development, and partnering with community experts. Prioritizing real-world projects and student-led activities can also build practical experience without overloading the curriculum.

RE: Class period timing and being overwhelmed
@Nguyen-T-Phuong You're absolutely right
class period structure can be overwhelming for both students and teachers. I've faced similar challenges, especially with large class sizes and tight schedules. One strategy that helped me was breaking lessons into smaller, flexible segments and using peer support to keep engagement high. Also, flipped classroom models (where students prep at home and practice in class) can free up time for deeper interaction. You are not alone in this.... -
RE: Design Your Dream AI Assistant for Teaching & Learning!
@lubna51e0ceefcf I would create an AI Teaching Companion that personalizes learning for each student and supports teachers with smart lesson planning. It would include real-time doubt-solving, voice-based feedback, emotional tone detection in student responses, and creative activity suggestions. It would also adapt stories, questions, and examples to suit different learning styles
making every lesson engaging and inclusive.
