Me And My Shoes

Hi. I am Amtus Salam Annie more commonly known as Annie khan. I have a passion for learning and believe that learning is a lifelong process. My whole education belonged to Lahore (Pakistan), I have done my masters in Arabic from the Punjab University, Lahore (Pakistan).

I have an experience of teaching Arabic language in the same Dept.

Lahore is a capital of Punjab province in Pakistan; it’s a historical city full of culture and full of life. People are very hospitable and loving. Lahore has highest number of educational institutions compared with other cities of the whole country. It’s a city of educationists. 

I spent big part of my life there. About 17 years back I came to UAE. Here I got a chance to work in a Multicultural environment and this proved as a great experience for me.

Currently I am working as the Head of Islamic Department in the Central School, Dubai and have been teaching Islamic Studies there to the Higher Secondary since 2003.

I first started teaching here to Multinational students from different cultures. I learnt how to deal with them being a teacher. This increased my different qualities of understanding. Getting multicultural learning opportunities open the minds and hearts which is important for the learning processes.

  When I joined the PGCTHE course and embarked on this journey and interacted and studied with more different and diverse people, it helped me to improve my teaching skills and understanding.      

 Using technology in education is a great thing and looks very fascinating, but how much is it beneficial? How much do the students misuse the use of technology? And how much will the graph of learning increase? How will the teachers keep an eye on students especially in developing countries? These are some of the main questions which arise in the minds, which need answers.

Searching for these answers I continued my journey with Multicultural e-learning.

 I hope that my understanding and awareness with Multicultural e-learning will improve further. 

More often walking in others’ shoes leads to enhanced observation and diversified e-learning experience.
