WebTools for Global Learning Spring 2026: Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions

WebTools for Global Learning Spring 2026: One of the Goals Project Padlets SDG 16-Goal project 2025 

by the Delhi Public School, Lava Nagupur, India

One of the Goals Project Padlets that caught my attention is the SDG 16-Goal project 2025 by the Delhi Public School, Lava Nagupur, India. This project talks about Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. The steps mentioned can be applied across all aspects of any society, including the United States of America. 

 WORKABLE SOLUTIONS 

Meditating Outside

The Project takes us through steps we can all take to make this project a success. I love a piece that not only emphasizes the problem but also offers solutions. The project uses analysis graphs to support its argument. It questions some form of stress and the violence it could cause, related to death on a global scale. 

Some workable solutions that were emphasized are: 

• Legal Literacy and Awareness
• Support Community-Based Peace Building Initiatives
• Encourage publilc participationin Anti Corruption

This project promotes action, which I already do without even realizing it. To help reduce stress and promote better well-being, an example used was "forest bathing." Forest bathing is immersing yourself in nature. Use all of your senses to be in the moment. Sit down, reflect, meditate, and experience nature all around you. 

This project is all about promoting peace, identifying the cause of violence, and how to combat it in your own personal way. We should all take some action that will improve our own well-being and, at the same time, help reduce violence.

Collaboration and Why it Matters

 What is Collaboration?

Collaboration is the process of working with others towards a common goal. It involves sharing ideas, listening to different perspectives, and combining strengths to create better outcomes. In a Global UN Project, collaboration reflects how countries work together in the real United Nations to address worldwide issues. 

Why Collaboration Matters in Global Issues?

Solving Problems That Affect the World

Global challenges such as climate change, poverty, and human rights cannot be solved by one person or one nation alone. Collaboration allows multiple perspectives to come together, leading to more effective and inclusive solutions. 

Learning From Diverse Perspectives

Each participant in a Global UN Project represents a different country or viewpoint. Collaboration helos us understand how culture, history, and resources shape how countries view global problems. 

How Can I Use Collaboration in the Global UN Project?

Active Listening

One way you can collaborate is by activly listening to your peers. Listening help peole unertsand others' ideas and reposnd repectfully, even when veiwpoints differ from my own. 

Sharing Responsibility 

Collaboration emans dividing tasks and working a sa team. By sharing responsibilities, such as research wirting, or presenting, we can produce higher-quality work and support each other's success.

Respectful Communication 

Disagreements are a natural part of collaboration. You can communicate your ideas clearly, use evidence to support goals, and stay open to compromise.

Becoming a Global Citizen Through Collaboration

Collaboration is the foundation of a successful Global UN Project. By listening, communicating respectfully, and working together toward shared goals, I can help create meaningful dicussions and realistic solutions. These skills not only strengthen the project. but also prepare me to be a reponsible and informed gloabl citizen.

Collaboration in Education

What is Collaboration? 

Collaboration is the core of successful learning! Whether students are debating, working on Global Goals, or building model projects, collaboration allows us to share ideas and learn with one another even when schedules don't align. Collaboration strengthens critical thinking, builds communication and social skills, increases engagement, supports diverse learners, and mirrors real world work. 

Technology Connects Us Anywhere at Any Time

We want to reach people outside of our classroom to expand our ideas. We don't need to be in the same time zone to work together anymore. We can share documents that update in real time, do virtual meetings via Zoom, or use blogs to collaborate ideas more creatively. Technology is constantly giving us new ways to collaborate across classrooms, grade levels, and even countries amplifying human connection. 

Everyone Gets a Voice!

Everyone has great ideas, but not everyone speaks up. Using text, audio, and video responses let students pick a platform that works for them. This takes us out of the traditional social setting, allowing everyone to share in ways that make them feel comfortable. Speak a different language than someone? They're not left out either. Translation tools support learners of all languages to collaborate together. Disability? Don't worry about it. There are accessibility features such as captions, dictation and Immersive Reader.

Collaboration in the World of education

Collaboration: Learning Better Together in a Digital World

Collaboration is the most important skill to learn and use in education. Collaboration means that you are willing to work with each other in person or in digital too. Too share ideas, solve problems, and create something meaningful together in the classrooms or any where else both physical and digital collaboration helps students learn from different perspectives and prepares them for real-world teamwork. I believe that collaboration can help you get to know other people too. If you are shy and nervous it is okay with collaboration can help you feel comfortable if using digital media to collaborate. it is good to learn together than alone in the Digital or real world.

What Collaboration Looks Like in Education Today

The Collaboration Looks like in education today is more digital than in person. Many students have or still is using digital apps like Google Docs, Microsoft Teams, Padlet, and Zoom allow learners to communicate in real time, share feedback, and co-create projects. With those apps can also keep track on assignments and projects that has been given by the professors. Many students use apps to connect with peers from different cultures or translate to their language to communicate. The world is changing and many more students are using these apps of collaboration not just in schools but in business too. This what I think about what collaboration looks like in Education Today. 

Why Collaboration Matters for Learning

It matter the most for learning for critical thinking, communication skills, confidence, modern workplaces, where teamwork is essential. With critical thinking will help you learn communication skills. With communicating can help you gain confidence. With theses skills that you learn you get or have modern workplace to work. It matters the most because it can help student learn and be ready for anything.  It shows that collaborative learning often leads to higher engagement and better understanding compared to working alone. Nobody wants to work alone and struggle too.

Conclusion 

Overall Collaboration is important regardless if it is digital or not. It only matters that you are learning and communicating with you peers. World is experiencing the digital aspect and how it is impacting the students. In a way it is good and the digital collaboration is making good things for the students to learn. At the end Collaboration is the best way to go.

Understanding Collaboration in Educational Technology Posted by: Easton McElvaine  

Date: 2/8/26

What Is Collaboration?

Collaboration in education represents the process by which students and teachers work together to exchange ideas and solve problems while they develop new knowledge. The implementation of educational technology solutions enables students to establish connections with their peers at local and international levels which results in active learning experiences that extend beyond their traditional classroom environment. Effective collaboration requires more than group work because it needs people to connect effectively through their combined efforts to create shared understanding. This process requires people to interact deeply while they handle their work together through digital tools which enable them to create content and receive feedback.

Why Collaboration Matters

Collaboration helps students develop essential 21st-century skills which include Communication – students practice the skill of expressing their ideas while they learn to understand others Critical thinking – students learn to evaluate information by examining different viewpoints Problem solving – students cooperate to discover answers Digital literacy – students learn to use technology in a responsible and effective manner Research shows that students who learn through collaborative methods attain better understanding of topics while they show higher participation. Collaborative learning enables students to develop advanced reasoning abilities which help them maintain knowledge better than when they study alone.

Tools That Support Collaboration

Educational technology provides multiple tools which facilitate collaborative work among users Google Workspace (Docs, Slides, Sheets) – users can edit documents together in real time while they add comments Padlet – users can create digital boards which enable them to share ideas and materials with others Microsoft Teams or Zoom – users can conduct virtual meetings to engage in group discussions Miro or Jamboard – users can access virtual spaces for creating visual content which they can develop together These tools enable students to work together from any location at any time because they break down both time and space restrictions. Educational institutions now use technology to establish worldwide educational partnerships which enable students from diverse backgrounds to work together and learn through their interactions. Educators use multiple international project demonstrations along with cross-border educational partnerships to showcase their teaching methods. The professional learning networks together with social media platforms provide several methods which enable students to connect with other students worldwide through their discussions about "global collaboration in education".

Final Thoughts

Digital tools create more chances for shared learning which makes collaboration essential in modern education. Effective student collaboration leads to academic learning when students work together.

 Collaboration in Education

Working with a classroom

How does a teacher begin to teach in a classroom? What is the best way to go about bringing a subject to light? When thinking of a classroom many would think of a teacher working with their students independently, or that is to say operating independently from other educators. This may have been the norm not long ago but in our current day, collaboration is the key to understanding and learning more. Not only about the subject at hand but even for the students learning more about how they learn, creativity blooms as a new idea is introduced and even assists educators in learning from other teachers to see how they were best able to impart lessons to their students.

Learning by working with others-

An old proverb states that by teaching others we learn more about ourselves, this could not be more true in a classroom by getting students to engage with one another is an invaluable tool to educators. For myself I know for a fact I learn more about what I didn't know when I try teaching things to my friends or students as they raise questions I hadn't even considered when I was first working on the topic. Learning by teaching others goes a long way in learning more about whatever subject it is you the student are trying to get a more comprehensive understanding over. Collaboration is the key to understanding.

Connecting with Other Educators-

For the Teachers themselves there are more ways to connect with other teachers than ever before, with sites such as X, Facebook and others, there has never before been better ways to compare lesson plans and ways to bring about a more comprehensive lesson plan. Using Social media to collaborate and connect with other professionals is a great way to have lesson plans reviewed by peers in your same field and make a better lesson plan. A more complete lesson plan.

Conclusion-

Working together learning together students and teachers both is the best possible way to ensure that everyones time is utilized best, by encouraging students to break out into small teams in a class or compare notes after a lesson is perhaps one of the most potent ways to make a lesson really stick in their minds. And for educators reaching out to other professionals has never been easier as it is now. Collaborating with others is one of the most essential parts of gleaning a complete understanding.

Collaboration Beyond the Classroom Samuel Citta

 

What Collaboration Looks Like Outside of School

When I think about collaboration, I usually think about group projects in school, but it can also happen online through communities and social media. Collaboration is basically when people work together, share ideas, and support each other instead of doing everything alone. One example of collaboration that really moved me is Noel Deyzel. Most of his content is helping people improve their lives In short videos in collaboration with other influences. These short videos are either funny, inspirational, motivational, and relatable. Noels fitness page demonstrates how when people in the same industry or different can come together and collaborate can create a much more powerful message.

What Noel Deyzel Talks About

What I like about Noel’s content is that he doesn’t act like he’s better than anyone else. Instead, he uses collaboration to show different perspectives and experiences, which makes his message feel more real. His fitness page shows how people in the same industry, or even in other industries, can come together and collaborate to create a message that is way more powerful than doing it alone. It shows how collaboration can build a positive community where people feel supported and motivated, not judged which I think is huge most gym content doesn't give the positive vibes or approach his do. Noels content helped me understand that collaboration isn’t just about working together, but also about lifting others up and helping everyone grow. I will put a link of one of his videos that truly helped me move the needle in life. 

How This Relates to School and Education

This made me think about how collaboration works in school. Learning is easier when students help each other and don’t feel judged for making mistakes. It also brings a strong feeling of gratitude and respect  for the people you collaborate with from working together. Noel’s message connects to education because he shows that learning is a process and that encouragement can make a big difference. Teachers and students collaborating is similar to what Noel does online sharing knowledge and learning together instead of working alone he often posts helpful videos replying to his fans asking for help or advice. This shows collaboration because he’s not just posting content for himself. He collaborates with others, shares advice, and creates a space where people feel comfortable learning and asking questions. By being honest about his own struggles, he helped me and others feel understood and supported. 

(Noel with Ronnie coleman)

How this connects to education and to My Own Goals

 I can see clear parallels. Just like in fitness communities, students and teachers can benefit when they share knowledge and support each other rather than working alone. Noel’s message encourages people to lift others up, recognize progress, and learn together , which is something that I think fits both school and real world goals.

For example, in my own life, I’m interested in online coaching and fitness training and I can already see how a collaborative mindset applies. Noel’s approach shows that sharing honest insights, encouraging others, and giving feedback can help not just classmates or teammates, but also future clients I might work with as a coach. Tools like shared plans, collaborative feedback, and community support all make learning and progress easier for everyone involved.The video also connects to my interest in online coaching and fitness training. If I ever coach people online, collaboration would be really important. Clients and coaches need to communicate, trust each other, and work together to reach goals. Noel’s approach of collaboration shows that being supportive and honest with people helps build stronger connections and better results.

Conclusion

In the last link below is Noel collaborating with one of his fans that was inspired by him something 99% of other gym content creators would not do
. Overall, Noel Deyzel’s fitness page not only shows but proves how collaboration can be powerful, even outside of school. So whether it’s in education, fitness, or online communities, working together and encouraging others can help people grow and stay motivated.

Teacher Collaboration

Working as a team is always important when it comes to teaching.  There are multiple grade levels usually in one building, and each grade level's teachers tend to collaborate together when it comes to lesson planning, fun activities, and up-to-date training. I was inspired by a post from the National Institute for Excellence in Teaching, which reminds educators that "effective collaboration directly drives instructional change when teams connect their work to student learning".

When using technology in education, it could help strengthen collaboration by sharing worksheets, lesson plans, crafts, and completed work amongst your grade-level teachers if they need ideas or plan to be in the same units that you are on.  Some programs that can be used are Google Docs, Canva, Google Classroom, or Dojo.

Great teaching is always a combined effort. If you are planning on teaching after you graduate, the X site below has great collaboration ideas from teachers all around the world.

SDG:15

When I was looking at the final goals for 2025, they were all amazing but the projects that caught my eye were the projects for the SDG 15: life on the land. This goal is all about protecting our ecosystems, stopping the destruction of habits, and protecting endangered species. 

     

     The project that I am going to highlight in this blog post is from Mrs. Fisher's 3rd grade class. Their project is called “Save Endangered Animals” . In their class they were focused on Endangered animals and how they are affected by the changes in their environment. The students worked with partners to do research on an endangered animal and to create a poster to present all the information about their animal. I think this is such a cute and fun project for students, it gets them working together researching about the animal of their choice and allows them to be creative when designing their poster to spread awareness and the information they found about their animals. This class also donated to the world wildlife fund and even adopted an Amur leopard.

This project focused on target 15.7 which is eliminate poaching and trafficking of protected species and target 15.c combating global poaching and trafficking, the reason most of these animals are endangered are because people poach them for illegal wildlife products. For example people would hunt and kill African elephants just for their ivory tusks. There is a really interesting documentary that explains this called The Ivory Game that was directed by Richard Ladkani and Kief Davidson on Netflix.

SDG 9: Industry, Innovation, and Infrastructure

From Ocean Waste to Plastic Grace

Response to Macris School's Shrimp Shell Bioplastic Innovation
Project: From Ocean Waste to Plastic Grace
Created by: Students from Macris School, Honduras
Link to project: Padlet Post

One of the Goals Project Padlets that caught my attention is the bioplastic innovation from Macris School in Honduras. Their bioplastic project transforms shrimp exoskeletons into biodegradable plastic alternatives. Shrimp exoskeletons happen to be one of the largest waste products in Honduras's export industry. The approach these students took demonstrates how local resources can be used to solve large scale, global problems.

What makes their project so compelling is that it solves three problems at once. Firstly, it is able to utilize the shrimp exoskeletons which were formally a waste product. Secondly, it lowers plastic waste that would be discarded into the ocean. Lastly, it reduces that reliance on petroleum which can contribute to global warm and the exhaustion of fossil fuels.

The hands-on part of this project stood out to me too. Students conducted experiments to extract and process the shrimp shells, documented their steps with photos and infographics, and tested their bioplastic material. They progressed from their local science fair to the ABSH Honduran Bilingual School competition, further refining the process along the way. I feel projects like this make learning more engaging because students can see real results from the scientific process

What impressed me the most was the future thinking towards their development. They place to launch an actual business venture with this bioplastic innovation. This shows how they understand solving environmental problems need to both be viable scientifically and business-wise. 

Overall, this project is a great example go how student-led innovation can address global issues by using local resources. The Macris School team shows that young people can be innovators and contribute to real world issues

    One of the Goals Project Padlets that caught my attention is the SDG 16-Goal project 2025 by the Delhi Public School Lava Nagupur India. This project talks about Peace, Justice, and Strong Institutions. The steps that are mention can be use in all aspects of any society includeing the United States of America. 

 local urban forest 

The Project takes us in order on steps we could all take to make this project a successful one with action. I love a piece that can not only emphasis the problem but help bring some solutions to it. The project uses analysis graph surveys to help make their statement. It questions some form of stress and the violence it could cause related to death on a global scale. 

Some workable solutions that were emphasis are: 

• Legal Litracy and Awareness
• Support Community Based Peace Building Initiatives
• Encourage publilc participationin Anti Corruption

Action is promoted with this project that I myself already do without even realizing it. To help reduce stress and promote a better well being an example that was use was "forest bathing." Forest bathing is immersing yourself in nature. Using all of your senses to be in the moment. Sit down, reflect, meditate and experience nature all around you. 

This project is all about promoting peace, identifing the cause of violence and how to combat it in your own personal way. We should all take some action that will help our own well being and at the same time help reduce the violence. 

PROMOTE PEACEFUL

Global Goal 3: Health and Well-Being

What Global Goal is most important?

My outlook:

After looking at the Final Goals Project 2025, I decided to take a deeper dive into the Goal 3: Health and Well-being project by The City School DHA Campus LHR. Health and well-being are the foundation of these Global Goals. How can you focus clearly on any decision or new situation if you yourself are not healthy and capable? Although it does not say mental health, I think the foods we eat or anything we consume affects all parts of your body including the brain. 

So how do we get healthy!? Usually you’ll hear a family member, doctors, or teacher explain to you what is healthy and what isn’t. This project got more senses involved with special activities. These activities included a shopping activity, clay food making, and healthy sandwich making.  The shopping activity had the student shop at a pretend grocery store to shop for healthy foods. Clay making food was them “making” the food they shopped for into a meal. The healthy sandwich making had them create a real sandwich with healthy fruits and vegetables. 

The project does include a few tips for being healthy. Eat fruits and veggies because they are nutritious. Exercise regularly! If you want more of a fun exercise, try a sport or ride your bike somewhere. Remember to wash your hands often to stay germ free.

SDG 2: World Hunger

The Goals Project: “Ending World Hunger” by Rachel Baumgart

One project on the Ghost project padlet that really caught my intention is the ending world hunger by Rachel Baumgart. This project focuses on SDG 2: World Hunger. 

I like how this project used Minecraft because it connects with children more than a slideshow or just a presentation. To be able to connect with children helps demonstrate how they can help solve world hunger as they grow older and they can understand it better. 

I also like how she uses relaxing music to help keep the water calm and collect it while watching this video. She also  makes great points along the video to display her understanding of world hunger which I find very appealing.

SDG 11 by William Muller

Sustainable Cities and Communities

Out of all of the goals, this is the one that has caught my eye and interest soley for the fact of how it affects every single person in a community. By making a city and our communities as a whole more stable and with an eye for better infrastructure, we can plan for a better tomorrow and even avoid the problems that will inevitably come our way as a community from earthquakes to everyday problems of traffic. This SDG tackles it all. For myself I know very well how important it is to not only have but to make accessible public transit is. For a community it is fundamentally unrealistic for every person to have a car and to drive around everywhere to do everything and the more and more people that do this inevitable become the traffic that they complain about therefore designing solid public infrastructure and making it as available as humanily possible is a very workable issue. But this is not all this SDG tackles.

Target 11.7 in SDG is all about establishing Safe and Green Spaces in our communities. This can take many different forms from imporiving the saftey of our public parks to establishing new public gardens for the people who live nearby to be able to grow food of their own, encouraging social interaction and deepening bonds within the community itself. There truly is no way to value the importance of being able to bring a community closer together. What is certain is the fact that these spaces can and will make and city feel much more green and liveable. A place to not only live but thive together as a community.
Lastly I will touch on the goal of improving infrastructure in our cities. In this SDG the goal of making cities more resiliant to natural disasters is of the utmost importance. This is a life saving goal by making cities that are built to stricter regulations that are outlined in this SDG make cities and communites safer for all of the people who call these communities their home.

All in all, this SDG speaks to me because its goal is to make cities and communities more safe through infrastructure improvment and addition of green spaces to make these places, not just a place to live but a community for people to thrive and live more full lives. With proper structures put into place calamities become much more workable issues, which to me is a goal that is achieveable and makes me hopeful for the better communities of tomorrow.

Here is a link to another person who has also made a blog post about SDG 11-

https://u1.padletusercontent.com/uploads/padlet-uploads/3504987094/7df9efd7103908dd9f9cd491e6cbb675/Aanandita_Blue_Bells_Model_School__SDG_11.mp4?token=MEgaigIMNSmsx9GUur0qQdyQVboYjNQttMdj2lcEbrYyVRZErr0zUPMHg6Sa4AmjnOxXmjEkiWCMA6p7tcCmI-K4bGmOaRv9_N9gjOeFSZ_Wn0CStWl-RfdwvgXJRJmXNICdteQMhSJhFUQzHMMzqFIRx1Ag7SWhl_ft2QL4S22z0b8MAaeP7o8UdOLbvYXSrGmKv1VbdIogm19MkFXpESvVy8bqUmGUCruJCdYkdqUUgKkZSxzNkF1BovEU26QLSjCGk6HmBxQNbdCgQjsuosluCjzNTBxomfidn7nORRM=

Goal Project 10 reduce inequality by Jasenka Tisucki

This goal Sustainable Development Goal 10 (SDG 10): Reduce Inequality is what really caught my full attention and by reading other projects or post about this goal made me realize that there are steps to complete this goals. It is a wonderful goal to complete by 2030 or so and what people says or have done is remarkable so far. It is a long road and it can be done. The word inequality looks peaceful but contains many problem in the world includes challenges and obstacles too. 

Inequality is one of the most pressing challenges facing the world today. While some people experience rapid economic growth, technological advancement, and expanded opportunities, millions of others are left behind. The United Nations’ Sustainable Development Goal 10 (SDG 10): Reduce Inequality focuses on closing these gaps—within countries and between them—to create a more just and inclusive global society. Reducing inequality is not just about income. It also includes unequal access to education, healthcare, technology, political power, and legal protections. When inequality grows unchecked, it weakens social trust, limits economic mobility, and creates long-term instability.

I love that many students young or old are speaking out about this problem and other goals too. But what
have view or read to made me think that maybe gender equality can be good too but not overdue it because some incidents that happen in the past. It is okay that many people feel that gender equality can be good for the world. Well it is just that because there is a reason that there are sports for men and sports for women and not usually have a sports for both. 
Overall, This goal to me is important because of how people are suffering from inequality and how many are not getting enough fair opportunity to have good education, healthcare, technology, political power, and legal protections. Like other goals this one can be completed and when it is completed other small goals that is part of this goal can be completed too. At the end this blog hopefully can serve as an information or resources that people can learn or read.

Empowering Young Changemakers: Learning from SDG Goal 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities

 Project Title: SDG Goal 11 – Sustainable Cities and Communities

 Created by The City School DHA Campus Lahore 

Padlet Post: Final Goals Projects 2025 

The Final Goals Projects 2025 research project showed me how The City School DHA Campus Lahore Grade 5 students developed their United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11 Sustainable Cities and Communities project. The project shows how even young learners can create safer cleaner sustainable communities through their work. 

 Project Overview - The students engaged in a variety of hands-on and awareness-based activities which included the following activities: 

The students created posters to promote sustainable living. 

The team created public service announcements. 

The team created short educational videos. 

The team participated in an awareness walk to engage the community. 

The students organized a local clean-up effort. 

The class brought in an environmentalist speaker to explain natural disasters and climate impacts and sustainability methods which helped them understand environmental issues better. The students created
which focused on waste reduction and proper resource management.

Key Takeaways - People who learn about something will do something about it. The education materials show how people in the community will participate through their three awareness initiatives.

Young learners can make a difference. The clean-up effort shows that people of any age can create positive change.

The process of learning becomes better when students establish links between their schoolwork and actual life situations. Guest speakers make topics more meaningful and memorable through their presentations.

Why This Matters for Educators - The project shows how educational projects can lead to student success when they combine technology with community outreach. Educators can

Use global goals to create local environmental initiatives 

Use multimedia to amplify student voice 

Invite real-world experts to make learning interactive and relevant.

Learn More - United Nations Sustainable Development Goal 11 Overview provides information about SDG 11 which you can access through this link https://sdgs.un.org/goals/goal11 

Final Reflection - The City School DHA Campus Lahore implemented the SDG Goal 11 project to demonstrate how student-led initiatives achieve real-world results. The Grade 5 students show through their combination of creativity research technology and physical actions that sustainable communities begin at the local level and every person has the ability to help achieve worldwide objectives.

Global Goal 16: Peace, Justice, and Strong Education

 Hey everyone! So I am sure most of you have social media, and or have seen the news lately with all that's going on all over this country. I feel as though it is only fair to bring it up towards my importance for Goal 16. With ongoing issues related to violence, inequality, and lack of trust in government and legal systems, this goal stood out to me as one that directly affects people's everyday lives. Goal 16 works towards creating safer and more inclusive communities by protecting human rights, reducing violence, and making sure everyone has access to justice. 

I believe goal 16 is extremely important because peace and fairness are the foundations for all other forms of development. When people do not feel safe  or don't trust institutions, it becomes much harder for communities to grow socially, economically, or environmentally. I feel connected enough to share about the blog post for SDG 16 as it visually showed how peace and justice start at the community and individual level. Keep in mind, the blog post for SDG 16 was made by, Delhi Public School, Lava, Nagpur India. The focus on legal literacy, community based peace-building, and anti corruptions initiatives directly reflects why I chose this Global Goal. 

In  today's world, where violence, misinformation, and lack of trust in institutions are common issues, these solutions feel realistic and necessary. I especially liked how the post highlights individual actions such as staying informed, engaging in dialogue, and advocating for change. These examples shows that students and everyday people can play a role in building peaceful and inclusive societies and not just governments. This reinforces my believe that Goal 16 is about real-life impact and collective responsibility across countries and cultures.

Quality Education

Global Project

 Hey everyone! I wanted to talk about the Global Project that stuck out to me and I want to bring awareness too. I chose to look at the Quality Education Plan. This not only stands out to me but also has me wanting to help provide quality education. I'm currently studying to become an elementary teacher and I think it is very necassary that everyone has the equal opportunity to equal and free education. 

Project inspiration

After taking a close look at the previous projects, Lauren Provenzano's plan stood out to me the most. She emphasizes safe spaces in clasrooms, open communication, and accommodations to classrooms as being ways to provide quality education. With safe spaces for times when students feel overwhelmed, it will allow the student to be able to relax and come back to the lesson and ready to learn without disrupting the class. Open communication allows a teacher to student relationship form, promoting a positive and healthy leanring environment. Finally with accomodations it allows students with disablililties or others with not equal opportunity still be able to thrive in a learning environment. 

My Thoughts

I really liked and agreed with her porject. It was very inspiring and thoughtful. Along with that I liked how at the end of her project she put what she would implement in her classroom to provide a quality education for her students. These three things were a calm corner, felxible seating, and an opportunity for the students to communicate with her. 

I feel that it is very necassary that every perosn has the opportunitiy to have a free, acessable, quality education in any space. 

Below I will link Lauren Provenzano's porject and an artcle I found by the IDRA who dives deeper into this topic.

Quality Education SDG4

 

Hi everyone, today I am writing about a Goal Project that is important to me. As an inspiring teacher and current paraprofessional. Quality Education stands out to me. After previewing the Goals Padlet, the Inclusive Classroom by Brianna Bott is the project inspiring me the most. 

Ms. Bott creates a safe and comfortable environment in which students can learn daily. The classroom includes sensory materials such as fidgets and small toys, different seating options for the children's choice of what will make them more comfortable, calm corners for when little minds need a break, standing desks, and handicap essential desks. The classroom also supports non-verbal children and those who speak other languages with screen readers. 

It is important that each child feel included and destressed enough to learn and socialize through out their day. Having this support for children in a class raises the quality of education in a class and lowers escalated behaviors insuring everyones day moves smoothly.

I am attaching an article from ED.gov on the importance of inclusive classrooms titled: The Advantages and Challenges of Inclusive Education: Striving for Equity in the Classroom for more information on this topic. I am also attaching the video by Ms. Bott on her beautifully designed classroom.

  How dredging and sand replacement impacts climate change

What’s Happening in Margate?

Lately, I’ve been thinking a lot about what’s happening to the beaches in my town, Margate. Every year, sand is dredged from offshore areas and placed back onto the beach. People say this helps prevent erosion and makes the beach look nicer for tourists, but from what I see, it doesn’t really solve the problem. Instead, it seems to disrupt the natural environment.

Environmental Impacts of Dredging

I walk past the beach often, and the changes are noticeable. When sand is constantly moved around, animals like crabs and plants that depend on stable conditions get disturbed. This matters because these species are part of the beach ecosystem. It feels like decisions are being made based more on appearance and short-term protection rather than what is best for nature.

A Global Issue, Not Just a Local One

This problem isn’t limited to Margate. Beach dredging happens in many places around the world. While it’s meant to protect coastlines, it can actually damage ecosystems, increase flooding over time, and contribute to climate change impacts. It’s surprising to realize that what’s happening in one small town connects to environmental problems on a global scale.

 

Why This Feels Personal

Seeing these changes makes climate change feel real to me. It’s not just something happening far away, it’s affecting my town, local wildlife, and people who live here. It shows how local actions can have long-term consequences, even when they seem small at first. This sand replenishment operation costs new jersey millions and with how some people suffer in this country I believe we can put that money elsewhere rather than doing a short term fix that is only gonna end up being worse in the long run.

Why Accessibility and Awareness Matter

Just like environmental issues, accessibility is about inclusion. When we design content or
whether it’s beaches or blog posts ,we make sure everyone can understand and engage. Paying attention to accessibility and environmental impact shows not just responsibility but more importantly respect for others and our environment.

The Goals Project: Sustainable Math & Energy Exploration” by Aya AlTuhl

One project on the Goals Project Padlet that really caught my attention is The Goals Project: Sustainable Math & Energy Exploration by Aya AlTuhl from Abu Dhabi, UAE. This project focuses on SDG 7: Affordable & Clean Energy and shows how math can connect to real-life issues in a meaningful way.

I liked how this project connects math topics we normally learn in class, like proportional relationships, unit rates, and probability, to renewable energy. For example, students calculate how much energy solar panels can produce over time, compare wind turbine efficiency using unit rates, and look at how weather affects solar farm performance. These activities help show that math isn’t just numbers on a worksheet, it’s a tool we can use to understand the world.

The hands-on part of this project stood out to me too. Students build wind turbines using recycled materials, measure wind speed and voltage output, and then graph their results. This combines math, science, and engineering in a way that feels engaging and practical. I think projects like this make learning more interesting because students get to test ideas and see real results.

I also appreciate how this project connects sustainability with everyday learning. Instead of treating clean energy as a separate topic, it’s woven into math lessons. This makes it easier for teachers to bring global goals into their classrooms without completely changing their curriculum.

You can view Aya AlTuhl’s project on the Goals Project Padlet.

Overall, this project is a great example of how math, sustainability, and hands-on learning can work together. It gave me ideas for how global goals can be integrated into regular classroom lessons in a simple but powerful way.
