Breaking Barriers with Social Media Storytelling in Education

Feedimporter — Fri, 12 Jul 2024 10:23:59 +0000

Social media platforms continue to evolve and the competition for attention increases, simply posting promotional notices, inconsistent photos, and boring “what it is” write-ups, is no longer enough.

To truly stand out and engage prospective families, schools must focus on purpose, authenticity, and sustainable storytelling in their social media strategies. By doing so, they can ensure that their content is not only seen but also resonates with their target audience and builds a strong, lasting connection with their school community.

As someone who values both the power of storytelling and the importance of sustainability, sustainable storytelling is a crucial aspect of our modern world and refers to the practice of telling stories that not only entertain and educate but also support sustainable values and positive and responsible behaviours, to the benefit of both people and planet.

Purpose vs Passion

When crafting social media strategies, it's important to understand the difference between purpose and passion, and how they can impact your approach.

Purpose refers to the reason behind your social media presence and is typically tied to business objectives, such as increasing brand awareness, driving website traffic, generating leads, or boosting sales. Your social media strategy should align with your purpose, and every action you take on social media should be geared toward achieving your goals.

Passion, on the other hand, refers to the enthusiasm and excitement you have for the content you create and share on social media. It's the driving force behind your creativity and the fuel for your engagement with your audience. Passion is what makes your content authentic and relatable, and it helps you build a loyal following.

While both purpose and passion are important when crafting social media strategies, the purpose should take priority. Your social media strategy should be based on your business objectives and should be designed to achieve specific outcomes. Passion can be a powerful tool for achieving your purpose and will naturally resonate with your audience. So, while your purpose should guide your social media strategy, infuse your content with your passion and personality.

How To Enhance Your Entrepreneurial Skills?

Feedimporter — Fri, 12 Jul 2024 10:24:43 +0000

This is because there is a direct correlation between entrepreneurial activity and economic development. Entrepreneurs play an important role in society in terms of financial as well as human resources.

Young students have the enviable power of doing things with great courage and many now look to ditch the corporate rat race. Students of the present generation want to become their own bosses; they aspire to invent new things. The education system and educators can play an important role to motivate the young to become entrepreneurs or to apply entrepreneurial thinking to whatever path they follow in their future careers.

Entrepreneurship is a way of thinking – it is not constrained by the present and finds applicability in the future. It is important for students to develop entrepreneurial thinking skills right from school. Now my point is to all students: if you think you have a new and creative idea, here are some tips which can help you in developing it:

Evolving demands of over 1.5M students in the GCC region to be addressed at the 15th Edition of GESS Dubai

Feedimporter — Fri, 12 Jul 2024 10:31:42 +0000

As the biggest education exhibition in the Middle East region with an extensive conference programme and an awards ceremony, GESS Dubai is poised to attract more than 6,000 educational professionals from over 70 countries, and more than 250 leading educational brands showcasing the latest and most innovative products and solutions in the market and bringing thought-leaders sparking new ideas and challenging the way stakeholders look at the future of education.

A critical point to be addressed in the 2022 edition of GESS Dubai is the growing and evolving demands of the 1.5 million students in the GCC as per ISC Research, the leading producer of independent data, trends, and intelligence on the global English-medium international schools’ market. “There’s been a 4.7% increase in the number of students in the region from July 2017 to July 2022 and research tells us that this is a key area of growth in the coming years. A vital aspect of the show is to find ways to serve this sector better by providing networking platforms with key decision-makers, opportunities to learn best practices from around the world, and access to the most up-to-date technology and solutions to enhance current learning environments,” said Sarah Palmer, Brand Director, Tarsus, organisers of the GESS portfolio of education exhibitions and conferences all over the world.

Among the international exhibitors expected to showcase at GESS Dubai are Microsoft, Schoolbox, OneOrigin, Soundtrap for Education by Spotify, Promethean, BenQ Amazon Web Services, Viewsonic and more. This year will also see the largest showcase of American and Canadian companies with the likes of EZ-Robot, SMART Technologies, TehnoKids Inc, Notion Wave, Scholastic Inc, Classlink, Edpuzzle, Cypher Learning, Nearpod, Piedmont Payment Services, Speechace, Van Robotics, VIRCO USA, Amplify and Compro Technologies; and an unmissable area, the Start-up Pavilion, with new companies bringing their one-on-a-kind technologies to the show.

In addition, the conference programme is broken down into conference streams that will feature world-renowned experts offering free-to-attend seminars, live case studies, workshops and panel discussions designed to help educators achieve excellence in their classrooms. Two of the world-class speakers who are presenting for the first time in the Middle East are Rob Houben, Founder of robhouben.com and Gavin McCormack, Co-Founder of Up-School. Rob Houben is an educational leader and change-maker who in 2015, got involved with Agora. With five colleagues and 60 students, they started working at this government-funded secondary school without using timetables, courses, or age groups. They began with a simple question: What do you want to make, do or learn? And whatever the answer was, they went from there. Today, there are 20 Agora schools in The Netherlands and Belgium. On the other hand, Gavin McCormack, a trained Montessori teacher, children’s author, teacher trainer, philanthropist and school principal, will be covering topics such as educating with intention, educational reform with a strong emphasis on Montessori within the home and creating a harmony between the school and home environments to reach a student’s full potential.

In the Future Transformation Room, thought-provoking topics will include Reinventing the Learning Experience with Artificial Intelligence by Basil Ayass, Education Lead – Middle East, Turkey and Africa at Google, Preparing Students for the Metaverse by Niall Statham, Head of Innovation at Hartland Internatioanal School, Music Education: The Missing Myelination Link by Ross Garrod, Founder and CEO of Practice Pal, Integrating gaming and eSports in Education by Baz Nijjar, Principal Advisor – Education Technology at GEMS Education, Emerging Tech Integration in K12 – Why? When? How? by Sreejit Chakrabarty, Director – Artificial Intelligence & Robotics at GEMS Education, Using Chatbots in Education by Mohammed Alhohabi, Consultant at National eLearning Center.

Q&A with Vassilis Vlachokyriakos, Regional Sales Manager, MM Educational Group, South East Asia

Feedimporter — Fri, 12 Jul 2024 10:31:46 +0000

. This month we have been catching up with Vassilis Vlachokyriakos, Regional Sales Manager of MM Educational Group in Southeast Asia, to find what you can expect to see from them at GESS Asia this month and learn more about their English Language Teaching (ELT), Computing and ICT, Maths and Science books and online solutions for which they will be showcasing on their stand (C4).

MM Educational Group is a content creator with a global presence that delivers complete educational solutions. It consists of nine distinct companies that collectively develop content and provide educational materials and services in four subject areas: English Language Teaching (ELT), Computing and ICT, Maths and Science. Since its foundation in 1974, MM Educational Group has been committed to spreading knowledge - a mission which it accomplishes through the provision of localised educational solutions with global standards. Our “crown jewel” all these years has been MM Publications (https://www.mmpublications.com), specialising in the provision of books, materials and services to support the teaching and learning of the English language. With offices in 7 countries and distributors in more than 110 countries, our materials and services are now available on every continent.

2) What initiatives are you working on currently?

Integrity: Employ the highest ethical standards and honour our commitments.
Honesty: Create and maintain long-lasting relationships built on loyalty and trust.
Respect: Recognise, accept and cater to the personal and cultural differences of students, teachers, partners and employees.

3) What would you say is the most unique aspect of your products?

We produce learning materials that help learners achieve a higher level of knowledge of the subject (English, ICT Maths, Science), develop their cognitive capabilities and acquire necessary life skills. Our products include a broad spectrum of learning resources, from specific courses to suit all age groups and learning, to exam preparation support material; from books for local markets to accessible and sophisticated, interactive e-learning courses and digital components.

4) What would you say is the biggest challenge in the current system that your products provide the solution for?

GESS Talks Webinar 10 - The evolution of education; are we facing a future skills gap?

Feedimporter — Fri, 12 Jul 2024 10:32:36 +0000

Taking place on Tuesday 14th of June, 16:00 GST/UAE, 13:00 BST/UK time, and targeted towards educators and leaders from all subject backgrounds, this webinar will bring together innovative educators and leaders at the forefront of the education evolution to discuss how the role of educators has changed throughout the years and whether they are fully equipped with the required, future-skills to continue doing what they do best.

To what extent are these changes accelerated by or attributable to the pandemic and what will the new normal in education look like in the years to come? How can educators ensure their own wellbeing in a highly competitive marketplace and in return, why should schools leverage modern educators more?
