3. Introduction
• Education is not just about lessons in
textbooks. It is about the lessons of life. One
thing I wish I can do is, to provide education
for all: no child left behind and change the
world for good! Behind each great nation is
great education.
• Let’s make this great country even greater, this
is our duty to your leaders “ King Salman Bin
Abdulaziz “ and “ Prince Muhammad bin
Salman “ .
4. The importance of using technology in education
These days, technology means
more than just learning basic
computing skills. Technology has
made itself part of every aspect
of our lives today.
5. Vision 2030 & Smart Education
By using technology, I support the learning and the
educational process in a very creative way that achieves the
vision’s goals to create a greater nation and a greater
generation. In order to achieve that we need to build a
creative, smart and independent generation. A generation
that have the abilities and all the creative tools to achieve the
highest levels and that’s why teachers should be trained to use
more technology inside the classroom
6. The sky is the limit
We must work so hard to achieve our leaders’ vision. As Prince
Muhammad Bin Salman said about our ambitions as Saudi
people: “the sky is the limit”. That means the 1st step to the sky’s
limit is to look forward the future, work very hard, breaking all
the traditional ways, build a smart creative generation and
think creatively. We owe this great country greater
achievements, and greater education.

12. Cornell Notes Method

reviewing notes and has been devised by Prof. Walter Pauk of
Cornell University in the 1950s
How to use it
It requires very little preparation which makes it ideal for note
taking in class. The page will be divided into 4 — or sometimes only
3 — different sections: Two columns, one area at the bottom of the
page, and one smaller area at the top of the page.
14. Problem-Solving Scenario
Problem solving and critical thinking refer to the
ability to use knowledge, facts, and data to
effectively solve problems. This doesn’t mean you
need to have an immediate answer, it means you
have to be able to think on your feet, assess
problems and find solutions.
15. Critics
The highest critical skills are needed in education and learning
to make sure that our students will be talented and well skilled
being.
Critics is a strategy that can be used with everything. The
student's job in her is to act like a Critic. In order to make this
strategy work you should give any topic you want, give your
students 10 minutes to critically write down what they think
about this topic.
16. Case Closed
Me personally, I have invented this. This strategy is a great way to make
students have responsibility and think like detectives to analyze guess the
objects of the lesson and also think deeply to extract information. This strategy
not only good to analyze but also is a great brain training. There is nothing can
support the critical thinking skill like this strategy. It is enjoyable and your
students will love being detectives. This strategy also makes your students feel
more confident with huge sense of responsibility.
17. Creation Lab
Creation lab is a strategy you can use in order to make your
students act, work and think like scientists. Your students should
work so hard to find a solution for main problems we have in our
world, by this way you encourage them to think deeply for
solutions. As we mentioned before, problem solving skill is really
important, it involves being able to identify and define the
problem, generating alternative solutions, evaluating and
selecting the best alternative, and implementing the selected
solution.
