It’s really hard to talk about yourself but I will start as a preschool homeroom teacher .

 In my classroom, I tend to use technological tools and software that will give the students the opportunity to practice learning using interactive ways that will foster student’s curiosity and will make them more passionate about learning. 

I am a lifelong learner and I enjoy going down the rabbit hole of technology.  These tools I will use will make my teaching easier and more accessible to other educators, parents and students.  I look forward the journey ahead!

Introducing my preschoolers to the most important places in Lebanon. I created a video about an Aline called "Anki" who landed by mistake to Lebanon and a girl named Maya saw Anki and started to introduce Anki to Lebanon . This video was created using Adobe After Effect and then uploaded into YouTube  to share it with others. 

If you are from Lebanon don't hesitate to show to your students, if not you can show it to your students to know more about "Lebanon".

I wanted a simple poster to remind students to wash their  hands. So pupil will not forget to wash their hands.

So I designed a poster on Adobe Illustrator explaining how to wash their hands with a song.

And we hang it together on the wall .  

“The Microsoft Innovative Educator (MIE) Expert program is an exclusive program created to recognize global educator visionaries who are using technology to pave the way for their peers in the effective use of technology for better learning and student outcomes.

MIE Experts help Microsoft to lead innovation in education. They advocate and share their thoughts on effective use of technology in education with peers and policy makers. They provide insight for Microsoft on new products and tools for education, and they exchange best practices as they work together to promote innovation in teaching and learning.

I believe that being an MIE Expert will develop my skill set to help others and empower my friends and students.  I also believe that the understanding of Microsoft products is essential in the building of the next generation.

MIE will push me to develop my skills. As an educator, it will help me discover and boost my potentials. It will enhance my technological skills and students will be exposed to technology using different programs and software.

As an educator, my plan is to extend this experience in the school community and give helping hands and support to other teachers. Spreading these types of projects will empower teachers and students as well. 

Because of that I made my MIEE project and got certified on September 2017 . Below is my sway link for more details

Student surveys can be powerful tools to help school administration and educators gather valuable data. This school data allows for an in-depth analysis of the overall school climate, at the same time rendering a representative picture of student perceptions.

There are a number of reasons school systems should consider conducting student surveys, but we’ve laid out five of the most impact ones below.

1.     Analyzing Student Survey Data to Make Informed Decisions
2.     Using Student Survey Data in Schools to Make & Save Money
3.     Using Data Trends from School Surveys for Students to Initiate Important Conversations
4.     Using School Data from Student Surveys to Improve PR
5.     Using Student Surveys to Recognize Trends

The list above covers only a few of the most important reasons why schools should conduct student surveys on a regular basis. But there are many other substantial benefits that can be gained from having an accurate representation of the school climate and student perceptions. Analyzing survey data has a wide range of uses and purposes, and school systems could see a variety of advantages from the data trends being used in meaningful ways.

This survey was done by : Samah Sourani,Dana Al-Rifai and I targeting Secondary students' Healthy Lifestyle during E-evaluation course . Moreover, we used Survey Monkey to make our survey and we share it with our classmate and they filled it with love.

As a kindergarten teacher with a classroom full of 32 children age 5 to 6. When they are playing, coloring, or talking, everything is good. However, when I need them to perform a certain task, all hell breaks loose.

After researching visual learning, I  decided to experiment with info graphics.

“I designed a huge, extremely visual infographic to teach kids about 3D shapes. It was kind of like a mindmap. I designed with Yasmine Al Zein while E-evaluation course. Then, I print it out and hang it next to the blackboard, so everyone could see it.”

There is a secret formula to encourage your kids to love studying. Now you can teach them the secret on how to easily come up with bright ideas, how to effectively solve problems, and how to remember things better.

A mind map is made of words, colors, lines, and pictures. All these elements when combined together in a visual representation are very attractive to children. It captures their attention and motivates them more to stay focused on what they’re doing.

Because they enjoy what they see it becomes easier for them to study. It eases the boredom so they have more fun.

Mind mapping is certainly your children’s secret weapon to help them remember better, come up with creative ideas, save time, get better grades, excel at school, and most importantly have more fun.

Not only adults like us can enjoy mind mapping. The mind map for kids examples shown below are proof that children can also have fun and learn tons when mind mapping.

Below is a sample mind map done by Dana Al Rifai,Samah Sourani ,Yasmine Al Zein and I discussing how we can E-evaluate preschoolers using mind maps . You can see in the illustration how vast a child’s creativity is and how a mind map can help them express their thoughts and ideas about a particular topic.

Have you ever had an idea in your head – one of those “light bulb” moments
But by the time you met to share your thoughts with others, the idea was gone?

The solution is to use an online mind mapping tool that can be built collaboratively and shared anywhere you have access to the internet.  

This tool is called bubbl.us

Bubbl.Us is a free and relatively simple web application that lets you brainstorm online collaboratively with others.

This PowerPoint was to explain how to use bubbl.us in order to create a mind-map.
