2- Depending on perspective making peace can have positive and negative aspects (Egerton Ryerson)

3- Cultural decisions may lead to structural changes and thus lead to negative (violent) decisions.

1- Peace has many definitions: it is not the lack of conflict but finding ways to deal with conflict leading to peace. 

2- Hidden messages through stories and animations and how to safely use them in the classroom.

1- As educators it is our duty to be authentic and mindful of the use of AI.

2- We decide how our identities reflect on us and the way we perceive ourselves also how others perceive us.

3- In student-teacher relationship it is the duty of the person in control to dictate a healthy relationship that has no abuse but rather authority. for example I would tell my student "No" once when they try to take over the conversation and then I stay silent which  makes my point clear without exerting abusing power. 

4- there is more that's brings us together than we share. 


 October 18th

1- We as educators are the knot tiers and connectors between students and the world around them especially when it falls apart or one strand breaks through.

 2- We must build healthy relationships with students but keep boundaries and considering safeguarding.

3- we must understand the needs behind a student's behavior rather than just reacting to the behavior itself.


 October 19th

1- Children learn best when they interact with their environment. The surrounding influences development and directly affects behavior. 

2- we as educators may not be able to change systems or outside environments but we are the owners of our own classrooms and we can tailor them to fit students needs.

This exposure encouraged me to think critically about the nature of peace and the philosophical underp...

Response to A Force More Powerful reading - chapter 11

  This chapter brings to attention the conscious practice of nonviolent resistance, highlighting a significant change from an armed confrontation. To express their anger at the Israeli occupation forces and to petition for their rights, Palestinians including women and youth organized boycotts, strikes and civil disobedience. Organized grassroots movements can be very effective when challenging those in power. Despite the huge imbalance of power, Palestinians resisted through public defiance and non-cooperation.

Its non-violent character was dominant but there were however some actions that could not be altogether positive and made it rather difficult to uphold discipline and unity within the cause. Materializing the resista...
