A Year in Review: The Impact of Our Educational Tools 📅✨
2 minute read
Bismillah: As we approached the end of another year, we took time to reflect on the impact of the educational tools we developed and shared with other families. This year was particularly significant as it marked the first full year since we launched our doodling toolbox and began sharing our resources more widely. 🌟
Measuring the Impact 🌱
- Positive Feedback from Families: We received overwhelmingly positive feedback from families who had incorporated our doodling templates, story maps, and activity sheets into their Quranic lessons. Many parents shared how these tools made Quranic learning more engaging for their children, helping them retain and understand the stories better.
- Adoption by Educators: Educators in various Islamic schools and homeschooling communities began integrating our resources into their curricula. Teachers reported that students were more enthusiastic about Quranic lessons, particularly enjoying the creative freedom that doodling allowed. This encouraged us to continue developing more resources tailored to different learning environments. 🏫
- Strengthening Faith Through Creativity: One of the most rewarding outcomes was hearing how our tools helped children connect more deeply with their faith. Parents noted that their kids were not only learning the stories but were also reflecting on the lessons and values in their daily lives. This strengthened our belief in the power of creativity as a means of religious education.
One story that stood out was from a mother who shared how her child, who initially struggled with attention during Quranic lessons, became more engaged and excited to learn through the doodling activities. This transformation was a testament to the effectiveness of our approach. 🌟
Looking Ahead with Iqrasaurus 🦖
This year reinforced the Inspire and Impart pillars, as we saw the fruits of our labor reflected in the positive outcomes within our community. We were motivated to continue refining our tools and expanding our offerings to reach even more families and educators in the coming year.
As Allah says in the Quran:
"Indeed, this Quran guides to that which is most suitable and gives good tidings to the believers who do righteous deeds that they will have a great reward." (Surah Al-Isra, 17:9) 🌟
This verse reminded us of the importance of continuing to guide and inspire others through our work.
A Peek Into Our Conversations 🗨️
Nurin: "Ummi, do you think other kids like the doodles as much as I do?"
Ummi Ziehan: "Yes, Nurin! Many kids are using our doodles to learn about the Quran, just like you."
Syauqi: "Can we make more doodle books next year, Daddy?"
Daddy Ikram: "MashaAllah, Syauqi! We’ll definitely make more. I’m so proud of how much you’ve learned and shared with others."
End Note: Reflecting on the positive impact of our educational tools motivates us to keep creating and sharing. Join us next time as we explore new ideas for expanding our curriculum to include even more subjects through the lens of the Quran. 📅🌟
