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 :)

Data Processing

Explaining data processing for grade 1 students could be challenging. Students must learn what are Input parts, differentiate them from output parts, and understand how data is being processed. Infographics   attracts students by graphical representation of information rather than large texts.  They  help in  breaking down complicated concepts into understandable pieces of information which students can absorb and digest effortless.  During my masters study in Educational Technology - in the E-evaluation course I collaborated with my colleges  Ali Ghanawi and Imad Noureddine to create this infographic which helps us in explaining data processing lesson to grade 1 students.  Note that it was create using   Easilly  which is a web-based infographic platform used by educators, students, executives and businesses for representing and conveying their ideas, concepts, reports, processes and projects through visual forms that are easy to follow a...

Block Websites

Here are the steps to block any website (for Windows): Step 1: Click the Start button and select Run. Now copy and paste the following text in that Run box: c:\WINDOWS\system32\drivers\etc\hosts Choose “Notepad” to open it. Step 2: Go to the last line of the file, hit the enter key and type in the following format: 127.0.0.1 xxxx.com Eg: If you want to block facebook.com and myspace.com 127.0.0.1 facebook.com 127.0.0.1 myspace.com Step 3: Save the modified file That’s it. None of the above sites can be visited on your computer. One per line if you want to add more web sites. Note that you should have administrator rights so that you can modify the "hosts" file. I used this way to block access to some games' websites that were inappropriate for my students, and it worked perfectly. ...

Survey- Survey Monkey

Gathering information from your students is very important. It helps you in understanding them more and get their feedback  on the course materials, teaching aids, learning room environment and your performance. Below is a survey created by   Marwa Al Kalaaji, Samah Sourani, Yasmine El Zein, and I during our "E-evalution" course session. It is   targeting secondary students to get to know more about their healthy lifestyle.  This survey was created using survey monkey: Survey Monkey  which  provides free, customizable  surveys , as well as a suite of paid back-end programs that include data analysis, sample selection, and data representation tools. https://www.surveymonkey.com/r/FVTW32Y
