@BRYANb8875625e5 It is a great and interesting question.
In the meantime, I still keep in mind the integration of VR and gamification in my subject area. Now, my school does not have the VR tools yet, but our sister school does. I am eager to learn how to construct the gamification "The Murder Mystery" or "The Escape Rooms" with VR integration. I think that is just one of the benefits that I can think about right now.

The echoing session would be great if it were conducted in person and a workshop setting. I plan to conduct the workshop for my colleague. In addition, all of your insights in this forum are interesting to try.

Hi everyone!

Nice to know you all!

My name is Syakti, a Physics teacher from a private school in Indonesia.
I thrive on intellectual curiosity and welcome the challenge of applying fresh ideas to the world of physics education. Beyond the realm of equations and mechanics, my classroom becomes a dynamic space for exploring the intersections of science, education, and global citizenship. I am deeply invested in integrating concepts like Sustainable Development Goals (SDGs), Education for Sustainable Development (ESD), Global Citizenship Education (GCED), and Indigenous Cultural Heritage (ICH) into my teaching, fostering a well-rounded understanding of the world and our place within it.
I am eager to collaborate with like-minded individuals and contribute to shaping the future of education.

Regads,
Syakti

@Hira-Tayyaba I’m excited to learn about your video "Element Explorer" in the Gamification in Education category. I watched it, and it is excellent! I really love your challenge-based approach, especially how you leveled the questions based on difficulty. It was wonderful to see your students so enthusiastic!

@Ana_moderator What a great suggestion, Anna!
I use one of the gamification methods in science class, which I call Group – Worthy Challenges. The example of this activity is The Escape Rooms.

There are two main characteristics, namely (1) Defined roles and (2) Parallel Work. Defined roles means that each member of a group should feel like they have contributed something to the final product. Parallel work means that there should be opportunities for every member to be working on something at the same time.

Hello everyone!
I am Syakti, a secondary Physics teacher from Indonesia. I have a passion for educating young minds and helping them discover the wonders of physics.

As a teacher, my favorite part of the job is meeting and interacting with new students each year. I enjoy working with students from diverse backgrounds, each with varying cognitive abilities, thinking skills, and practical skills. It’s incredibly rewarding to witness their growth and cognitive development throughout the school year, as they become more confident in their understanding of physics and their ability to tackle challenges.

In my spare time, I love reading literature, particularly novels and short stories. This allows me to explore different perspectives and immerse myself in various narratives, which not only enriches my personal life but also inspires my teaching.

Nice to know you all,
Thank you.

@Erum-Zahid II agree with you. The main difference between humans and AI (technological sophistication) is human character. even AI may adopt human character itself. So, instilling moral values ​​and social skills to prepare students for the next decade becomes very crucial. Currently, most of us idolize thinking skills and practical skills as the main factors for students' success in the future, but we forget that when AI reaches its maximum development, both of these things are no longer crucial for humans.

Hi everyone!
I would like to open a discussion about intangible cultural heritage.

Intangible Cultural Heritage refers to the living traditions and practices passed down through generations. It encompasses things like traditional music, dance, storytelling, crafts, rituals, and knowledge about nature. Unlike physical monuments, ICH is experienced and recreated by communities.

Intangible cultural heritage is often learned through experience and participation, which can be difficult to translate into a traditional classroom setting. How can we effectively integrate ICH into our curriculum while still fostering a deep understanding and appreciation for these living traditions? and still using the technology?

I am looking forward to hearing your insight, experiences, and expertise.
Thank you.

Sincerely,
Syakti

@NAZEE1bea78928c I absolutely love the topic of Newton’s Third Law! I’ve researched it extensively, especially how students grasp the concept of non-contact forces, since we often focus on contact forces in class. Your approach to making science engaging and practical is inspiring.

Watching you use a balloon, I remembered the idea of using a balloon rocket. I used it three years ago with my upper secondary students. It is both simple and effective. You might want to try incorporating that in your lessons next time!

Also, I can tell from your video that your classroom atmosphere is vibrant and enthusiastic. It’s wonderful to see students so engaged in learning.

Looking forward to hearing more about your project!

Best regards,
Syakti

Hello @Imamuddin-Khaskh
I wanted to share my thoughts on your recent activity using a 'race' to study speed. I find this idea to be incredibly valuable! Encouraging students to race not only promotes physical exercise but also allows them to practice essential skills in data recording and analysis simultaneously.

To enhance this activity further, I suggest incorporating motion sensors or a sensor timer instead of relying on a manual timer. For example, using Phyphox to utilize an acoustic stopwatch could add an innovative twist. This stopwatch is triggered by sound, allowing runners to start and stop the timer by producing a sound as they begin and finish their run. This would make the activity even more engaging and technologically integrated.

Overall, I appreciate your creative approach to teaching speed, and I believe these enhancements could make the experience even more effective for the students.

Best regards,

Hello @Kanwal-Zaman,

I wanted to take a moment to share my feedback on your recent storytelling session at school.

First, I truly appreciate the special storytelling session you organized, bringing together students from all grade levels in one classroom. I know this can be quite challenging, but you managed to create an engaging environment that truly brought the class to life during your session.

Moreover, I commend you for including students with diverse learning disabilities in your storytelling session. This is no small feat, and I recognize the challenges that come with it. Your thoughtful planning and approach to accommodate all learning needs is commendable and sets a great example of inclusivity.

Teaching through stories is a powerful method, and you executed it beautifully. It not only captivates the students' attention but also enhances their understanding and retention of the material.

Overall, your dedication to creating an inclusive and engaging learning environment through storytelling is truly inspiring. Great job!

Hi @Zakiasoomro
I wanted to share my thoughts on your recent project. I absolutely love the idea of using a podcast before class! Allocating time for students to learn through a podcast prior to the actual lesson is both inspiring and reflects your dedication as a teacher.

However, I noticed that while the video description mentions that "your project is about Factorization of Algebraic Expressions using AI tools," the introduction to these AI tools seemed to confuse some students, especially since it was their first time using them. Despite this confusion, it's encouraging to see that they still looked excited about the new learning opportunities that AI presents.
Overall, your commitment to innovative teaching methods is commendable, and I look forward to seeing how you can further develop these ideas in your future projects!

Hello @Sanaa
I wanted to take a moment to share my thoughts on your recent lesson about managing waste and transforming it into beautiful craft products. This approach is truly inspiring! By emphasizing the global issue of waste, particularly plastic waste, you are addressing a crucial and vital topic in your classroom.

The products your students created really caught my attention. To enhance this experience even further, consider incorporating elements of STEM education, even in simple ways. This could help students understand that turning trash into treasure also involves an engineering design process. It would be a great way to connect creativity with problem-solving skills.

Regardless, I was impressed by how engaged your students were throughout the activity. Your efforts are making a meaningful impact!
