COVID-19

The Bad Habits During Quarantine:

We are going to talk about the bad habits that happen while quarantine during the corona outbreak

Among the bad habits during the quarantine period, we mention the waste of time. Because of boredom, people tend to browse social networking sites and follow series and movies instead of using their time for useful things such as reading books.  And because of watching movies and soap operas, people stay awake until late at night to follow them, and as is known, staying up late has negative consequences such as losing the ability to focus and feeling constantly tired.  It is also common that a person during this period increases his desire to eat, but the actual reason is boredom and not hunger, and this will lead to an increase in weight, which harms human health.  And because of all that we mentioned above, a person becomes lethargic and lazy, becomes less mobile, and neglects sport, which is a very important factor in maintaining human health.  Also, some people find in this stone more time to drink hookah, forgetting all its disadvantages and disadvantages.

The following pictures reflect some bad habits

COVID-19

Corona Virus "COVID-19":

Corona virus is a new and dangerous disease that affects world .it affects the large countries like Europe, Chinese and America economically that nothing affects these countries. Lebanon is economic declined and with lock-down it affects people living. Since 80% of people in Lebanon depends on their daily work to live, and we all know that Lebanon has no financial crisis to help their people. So lock-down affects people more than corona in Lebanon. Large numbers of people were dead suddenly.

People infected with COVID-19 were suffering in respiratory illness. it was very dangerous for old people who suffers from comorbidity like heart failure, diabetes, hypertension. this disease spread quickly there is no way that stop this disease or decrease its side effects in people.

My colleagues and I took a Clowning Workshop, and got a certificate of it.

In which I learned in this training humorous skills that instill in children fun and help After completing this session, on World Health Day, my colleagues and I performed a play about the importance of maintaining hygiene. This play won the admiration of children and at the same time reached them the main message of this play, which is to maintain hygiene.

Online Teaching and Learning

Disadvantages of Online Learning:

The first Inability to Focus on Screens, for many students, one of the biggest challenges of online learning is the struggle with focusing on the screen for long periods of time. Another key challenge of online classes is internet connectivity. As we know, students can learn a lot from being in the company of their peers. However, in an online class, there are minimal physical interactions between students and teachers. This often results in a sense of isolation for the students. Another disadvantage of online learning is that teachers have a very basic understanding of technology. Sometimes, they don’t even have the necessary resources and tools to conducts online classes. Manage screen time, the increase in screen time is one of the biggest concerns and disadvantages of online learning.

Online Teaching and Learning

Advantages of Online Learning:

Online learning offers teachers an efficient way to deliver lessons to students. Another advantage of online education is that it allows students to attend classes from any location of their choice. Also, it is reduced financial costs. Online education is far more affordable as compared to physical learning. Moreover, it is Improved Student Attendance, since online classes can be taken from home or location of choice, there are fewer chances of students missing out on lessons. it suits a variety of Learning Styles, some students are visual learners, while some students prefer to learn through audio.

The Educational Quality Improvement Training Course:

Active teaching and Learning:

The Active teaching and Learning Course with the University of AMSTERDAM "EDUKANS " was one of the distinctive courses that I participated in. As this course the Active learning is a process that has student learning at its center. Active learning focuses on how students learn, not just on what they learn. Students are encouraged to ‘think hard’, rather than passively receive information from the teacher. So, Active learning Reinforces important material, concepts, and skills. ... Creates personal connections to the material for students, which increases their motivation to learn. Allows students to practice important skills, such as collaboration, through pair and group work.

With active learning, students play an important part in their own learning process. They build knowledge and understanding in response to opportunities provided by their teacher.

The mains topics its learned in this course with the University of AMSTERDAM "EDUKANS" we are found it in the following certificate:

Inter-agency Child Protection Case Management Coaching Program:

Child Protection Case Management:

The child protection case management course with UNHCR organization was one of the distinctive courses that I participated in, as this course is taken a full year every month, an important session in order to teach specialists all the aspects of psychological referrals, where several the topics were addressed are:

1. Introduction to the Inter-agency Coaching Program.
2. Alternative Care.
3. Reporting for Juvenile Judges.
4. Safety Planning and Referral.
5. Self-Care.
6. Supporting Street Connected Children.
7. Remote Case Management and Case Planning.
8. Case Management for Children with Disabilities with CP Concerns.
9. Children Survivors of Sexual Abuse.

The course was very important and comprehensive as it laid the foundations for a social worker and specialist to work in the field with assignments safely. We have been provided with materials and tools that we must have when implementing what we have learned.

The Important of the 5Es Model

 5Es Model:

Is an important model to teach online lessons because it allows educators to create a unique learning experience for students. Teachers who can incorporate instructional models like the 5Es Model into their classrooms help students build a strong foundation of knowledge through active participation. To apply this model, we should apply five steps in a good way which are: engage, explore, explain, evaluate and elaborate. These steps motivate the students and enable them to understand the lesson in a good way, I have prepared in my work with SHAHD Association more than 30 effective educational videos in mathematics subject for grades 3, 4, 5, and 6 by using 5Es model. You can check that it’s in the YouTube. So, click on the channel link to see that, then gives your comments of those videos.

The Benefits of Advanced Methods of Teaching Math and Science "EDUC 557" Course:

EDUC 557:

I like this course because we have learned ten learning models which are: Direct Model, Concept Attainment Model, Concept Development Model, Inductive Model, Vocabulary Acquisition Model, Inquiry Model, Problem-Based Learning, Cooperative Learning Model, Integrative Model and Socratic Model. For each Model we saw an example lesson, from this examples we learned how to apply the models in a perfect way. So, it’s not good to use one model for all lessons since each lesson has unique model that you can use it.

The following video is an example of using a Direct Model to explain the Angular Bisector for grade 8, I used this model because the lesson is about procedure of drawing of Angular Bisector.

So, according to the above video we can apply the Direct Model if we have a steps or procedures in the lesson.

Experience with SHAHD Association:

I had started working with SHAHD association on 2016 after 6 months of volunteering. This association gave me a lot of experience because I underwent many trainings with international organization like: TDH -UNRWA - UNICEF - ITALY these trainings taught me how to enter the classroom with confidence and how to transact with students to identify the problems, it also gives materials about the deferent strategies. However, the important of these trainings was very helpful not only scientifically but also psychology because they educate us about psychologic problems suffered by students and how do we treat it especially that I am a Palestinian refugee who is living in a camp, and most of the students from the same environment, so that Palestinian students suffers from many psychological and financial problems, so that the importance was about how to tackle this dilemma.

These pictures shows my participation with my students in some educational and entertainment activities:

Moreover, after COVID-19 we had moved to online courses and in this period we had create a page on Facebook and YouTube, I made more than thirty effective videos about mathematics courses for grade 3,4,5 and 6

You can check that it’s in the YouTube. So, click on the Channel Link to see that, then gives your comments of those videos.

So that this association developed us on how to teach our students not only locally, but also globally.

Economics Major is the Best for me

Economics Major:

I studied economics major and I am convinced and love it very much. Because Economics major provides the preparation and understanding of the importance of some economic issues. It provides Economics students to learn how to think creatively and deeply about some of the most important economic concerns facing the world today. Also, teach us how to apply a variety of theoretical perspectives to issues of economic efficiency, economic growth, globalism, social justice, wealth and poverty, power, individual freedom, discrimination, cultural values, and environmental concerns. Every day we hear about economically related problems on a global scale, especially in Lebanon we view how the economic crisis can affect negatively in Lebanon and we started seeing its bad results on daily basis. Only the economists and students of economics can understand properly this crisis because they theoretically apply on a daily basis what they have learned and what they learned in economics major.

The Benefits of Educational Media and Technology "EDUC 561" Course:

EDUC 561:

I am interested in learning this course because I have learned many technological tools for teaching the students remotely. This tools attract and motivate students, also it facilitates the education process for teacher and students. Examples of these and applications tools are: Padlet, Poll Everywhere, Google Jamboard, Mentimeter, Google Document, Google Slide, Google Form, Go Formative, Flipgrid, Kahoot, Web quest, Blog and Activeinspire. From these tools or applications that I loved its Blog. Because, in this blog I can write and post important topics in education, provide materials to the students and put an articles for the students. Then the students can read this post to benefit and comment on it. But in reality I used a lot of tools and application with my students.

Now, we can see a links of some lessons that prepare by using the above tools. these lessons are evaluated by Dr. Amal Farhat.

• Physics-Gravity Lesson

• Lesson Evaluation-Types of Angles
