Robotics

In today’s’ technology-driven world, it’s important now more than ever to prepare students for the future. Teaching robotics to young students throughout their schooling can increase their ability to be creative and innovative thinkers and more productive members of society. Many governments have already recognized the importance of robotics in the classroom and have begun to create programs and laws that would incorporate it into their public education system. By teaching our students the basics of robotics, we can open a whole new world to them and exciting opportunities that they wouldn’t have access to otherwise.
The video below shows the final project done by my small engineers robotic that can solve the cube in different manners.

Rymbco workshop with the little engineer

Two days with my students at rymbco workshop to orient the student future career. The students observe in this workshop different points to think about the career they like. Mechanical engineer,metateronic engineer, saler, marketing and others. I wish they like this workshop and open their minds to think about future life. Am sure that one day i will see them in perfect jobs and they will play main role to improve the society and solve the social trouble in the community that we fail to solve it.

super teacher

It’s no secret that being a teacher is a challenging job. Parenting is, as well. Sometimes it seems nearly impossible to balance all of your responsibilities with between these two important roles. It can feel like a constant power struggle at times. When this happens, it is important to remember why we chose to become a teacher in the first place.
 I am both a parent and a teacher. I think teaching is worth it because I believe and hope that my kids, including the kids in my classroom, will see days of the future that I won’t be here to see. I want to help them become their best and inspire them to keep giving their best and use it to make the world a better place. I also hope my kids learn from my work ethic. Hopefully,  seeing me work so hard encourages them to do their best and to not give up on themselves or anyone else. I know that education and knowledge is a powerful contributor to change for the better and without it things will be much worse.

teachers' types

In 1976, the canters set for the basic premises and practices of the assertive discipline, which brought relief to teachers everywhere who were beleaguered by classroom misbehavior. The Need for Assertive Discipline 
Canter and canter explains that parents and community members see the need for exercise of appropriate and effective discipline in schools as perhaps the major topic in need of argent attention by school administration.
Types of Teachers and their Effects on Students 
Canter breaks teacher behavior into three general response styles:

a.       Hostile Teacher:  view students as adversaries. Teacher expresses their wants and feelings in ways that put down others or abuse their rights. They create negative environment and affect the way the students feel about themselves. Students learn to hate and fear hostile teachers and schools. The teacher becomes the enemy.

b.      Non-Assertive Teacher (known as wishy -wishy): it is passive approach to students. Teacher does not clearly express their wants and feelings. They feel frustrated and inadequate due to their inability to get their need met in the classroom or control kids. Teacher makes statement as, “for heaven’s sake, please try to behave like ladies”. They come across as wishy-wishy, and after time students stop taking them seriously. Students feel frustrated, manipulated, and angry.

c.       Assertive teacher:  teacher clearly and firmly expresses their needs to their students and work hard to build trust with the class. She/he helps students understood which behavior promotes success and which leads to failure. Students learn to trust and respect an assertive teacher because they know the teacher is fair.

Chewing gum during tasks performance

Most of the time my students asked me if they chew gum during the tasks. Before I refuse but one day my students prepare a research about the effect of chewing gum. I was surprised by the results shown. From that time I accept chewing during my period if it does not disturb others. https://drive.google.com/drive/folders/1iC2I4uKUCdyDWU0Kx_Lc28hB1qcdLa01
this link shows a poster talking about the research.

Gaps in our curriculum

As a teacher for grade 7 from 10 years ago, one of the main troubles I faced is the gap in the curriculum between grade 6 and grade 7. I did know if am the only one who faced this problem. In grade 6 the students know science as subject that they should study it to pass while in grade 7 it depend on discovering and analyzing. The students are shocked and take a time to realize that should not depend only on memorizing. the separation of science into three main subject chemistry, physics and biology, cause them to reduce the focusing. Is the problem in the previous stages or in my teaching or in the curriculum?
I use with them different strategies to let them analyze and relate each subject for their daily life. But it take from me time to let them like these subjects and use it not method to get marks only to success but also it is used to understand everything around them and related for science.
Help me more to let them know that science is not only an indoctrination but it is the building of life.

social media effects on our students

Who of us did not use the social media as facebook, instagram, snapchat and others. The main problem I faced in my teaching is that most of the students nowadays focus most of their times on such media without caring for their lessons. Today I was added to a group on facebook from my students in grade 7 and I was surprised of what I read. Who is responsible for the deterioration of morality of our students. We as teachers, families or society should play main role to solve it. We should spread awareness of the risk of using the internet in wrong way for the students and also to show the parents the negative side of these using and to ask them to control the using of such media. Were are the parents when their children are till midnight on their computers or phones. Are they watching what is Good and beneficial are they sure that they never enter to watch videos that are harmful for their moral and values? All of us listen about the game application that let some children try to suicide. I wish to have more awareness sessions for the parents before the children to solve such a problem.
