My Project

My students will benefit from bringing new technology into the classroom, I want to add musical instruments and materials and activities that contribute to the emotional area that is equally important as other subjects.

The use of technology such as the projector and other materials enhances student engagement through dynamic learning experiences.

Adding technology helps provide visual aids and interactive content.

Music in education as a tool for a classroom

Different studies have shown some amazing benefits of music in education, this is a tool to help students with different needs. Music is useful to help treat various behavioral and emotional disorders, it is also a perfect tool to help students with practical experiences that, in turn, develop their skills to think, reason, evaluate, analyze and solve problems.

Music has many uses in the classroom. It improves students' mood and helps them focus better. In addition, music increases dopamine levels. The power of that also extends to better learning.

The use of theatre in education can be classified as a pedagogical tool that allows a variety of topics to be addressed in a dynamic and attractive way. By implementing theatre in the classroom, I will have the opportunity to actively involve my students in the learning process. Unlike more traditional methods that can be monotonous, theatre creates an environment in which students are motivated to participate, explore and experiment.

Theatre embodies the idea of experiential learning. Students don't just passively assimilate information; rather, they are active participants in its teaching.
