About Me

Hi all!! I'm a computer science graduate continuing my studies through masters degree in Educational Technology in the Lebanese University. I've been teaching technology sessions for grades 1->6 since September 2011. As of September 2018 I started working as technology coordinator alongside with educational technology administrator. My passion is to integrate technology in elementary classes which is an effective way to connect with students of all learning styles. It gives the students the opportunity to develop their digital citizenship skills. Technology transforms the learning experience. It gives students access to an incredible amount of new opportunities. From learning how to code to learning how to better collaborate across teams and with their instructors--technology empowers students to be more creative and be more connected. New tech has super-charged how we learn today. I encourage you to start integrating technology into your classes, you'll see how it encourages individual learning, collaboration, improves knowledge retention, and improve your teaching. Topics that may be included in this blog is related to E-evaluation, interactive lessons, and robotics. Thanks for dropping by my blog!! Don't hesitate to leave comments and questions, I'll be glad to reply :)

Class Dojo Certificate

ClassDojo  is a behavior management tool for the classroom. Each student has a profile to which teachers can assign positive and negative points (or 'dojos') throughout the lesson. The website can be operated by a teacher from their computer or tablet, and each time they award a point an (optional) sound plays to alert the class. I have been using Class Dojo for for three years and I absolutely adore it. In my classroom, I try to use Dojo to focus on positive behaviors instead of the negative ones. For example if a student isn't listening to my instructions or isn't working on his activity , I try to award the students around him for finishing their task on time. To keep Dojo relevant to my students, I offer them passport to sit down next to their friends, option to wear colorful clothes to school, give them certificates while acknowledging in them in front of all his friends...etc. I also have consequences for those who end up with more than five negative points in...
