Nabheni Rewarded for Innovation

   Hayfa Majdoub from Bachir Nabheni School, Hammam-Lif Selected as 
Microsoft Innovative Educator (MIE) Expert

                 Recognized as global leader in using technology to transform education

November 16^th , Hammam-Lif, Bashir Nabheni School Hayfa Majdoub was announced today as a Microsoft Innovative Educator (MIE) Expert joining the more than 5,600 educators in the MIE program worldwide. Each year, Microsoft selects innovative educator experts to share ideas, try new approaches and learn from each other through a global community dedicated to improving student outcomes through technology.

  “Many educators aspire to become MIE Experts and it’s an honor that I’m selected as one. I’m excited to be part of a devoted community of teachers from around the world believing in the power they have to impact their students,  their schools and  their colleagues. Empowered by the professional development opportunities, the tech tools that the MIE Expert program provides, I’ll carry on my work as an advocate of technology integration in education”.

As an MIE Expert, educators build their capacity for using technology in both the classroom and curriculum to improve student learning, advise Microsoft and educational institutions on how to integrate technology in pedagogically sound ways and be an advocate at conferences, events and trainings for how Microsoft technology can improve learning.

“Microsoft Innovative Educator Experts are inspiring examples of educators applying new ways of teaching and learning in their classrooms that motivate students and empower them to achieve more,” said Anthony Salcito, vice president, Worldwide Education, Microsoft. “We celebrate and support the work they do every day!”

We invite you to also join our Microsoft Educator Community where you can learn and grow professionally, exchange ideas and learn from others, and make connections globally and earn recognition.

Nabheni is Coding!

AFRICA CODE WEEK: From 01st to October the 10th

   Like many other schools in Tunisia, Nabheni participated in the event taking place for the first time in the African continent the Africa Code Week. Mrs Damerji and Mrs Majdoub organised two sessions in which students and teachers enthusiastically participated. They were about coding using scratch, learning the basics of programming via the offline application.            Students'performances, however, were different. Some of them were hooked in from the first time, while others need more time to work on their coding skills. Overall, all agreed that a tool like scratch could deconstruct the myth of coding. No need to be a computer science geek to learn coding, now it's easier, funnier and within the reach of everyone! Because coding is the new language of the 21st century, it's our duty as educators to assist our students in speaking that language fluently!  

         

Good Times Come to an End!

Team members getting their certificates of participation in the NHS club activities

We started our activities in the mid October 2014 with 21 brilliant students. The key mission of our club is to learn, hands-on, different web skills like blogging, using mails,  social media in learning and effective communication skills. So far, I can say that we did our best to accomplish our goals and we succeeded in that. 

I want to thank all the club members for their participation and patience with me, sometimes I could be too demanding! Three of you, however, were more involved than the others namely Aymen Felhi, Baha Mhadhbi, and Rahma Belarbi. You'll get your digital badges soon. I'm proud of all of you and I consider myself the luckiest teacher to have students like you.

Proud of you Khawla!

Khawla Mohsni is a talented 2nd year student and a member of N.H.S. club 2.0 . She has recently taken part in a contest organized by the regional board of education. Khawla was awarded  the first prize.

The jury were amazed by the performance and the maturity of her ideas. They predict she will be a distinguished writer.

The following is her piece of writing in which she praises working women, the unskilled category in particular, and describes their daily hardships to earn a living. She was inspired by the woman in the picture in her train journey back home.

   

سلام على الكادحات .. الصامدات الباقيات ... هناك نساء بلدي يقاومن الحر والذل . من أجل لقمة العيش يعشن للعمل ، في ارض العباد التي لم تحمل احلام الضعفاء .. هي (وكل هن) يقفن على ناصية الحلم ويقاتلن ، لا اعرف ان كان لي الحق ان التقط لها صوره لكن عجزت امام وساخة القدر مقهى بالجوا يعج بالرجال ، وهي تعمل بدل الف رجل تحمل ونقطع الاشواك والشجر .. فلو كان المدى لقطعت جذور قذارة البشر ، سلام عليك والسلام فيك قله يا من تنعمين بالشقاء والمذله .. لكن الله لا ينسى من يعمل ولا ينسى من في سبيل الحياة يجتهد . سلام على نساء بلادي العاملات في الحر او البرد او الحرب او القصف . انتن نساء ونصف بل كل الحق لكن ؛ # بدلا من حملات الميني وغيرها قفن ودعكن من الطرهات يا حراير تونس فمن لا تلبس الحرير مكانها هنا .. بين زقاق الحياة المزدحمة ..  كل الاحترام لك

ولهن..

وليس لاشباه النساء
