Moodle Mashov Whatsapp Group

Mashov has opened a Whatsapp Group to support teachers using Moodle's Mashov. One representative teacher per school may choose to join the group. This teacher will be in charge of helping teachers in her / his school use Moodle Mashov. I have joined the group and had the pleasure of being the first to post (After all, I am crazy about Moodle)


לאור ביקוש הקהל במשוב פתחו קבוצת ווטסאפ לתמיכה במורים המשתמשים במוודל של המשוב
מדובר במורה נציג מבית הספר שמוביל את הטמעת המוודל ורוצה להוועץ בעמיתיו מבתי ספר אחרים
ומוכן לתרום גם מנסיונו לאחרים. שמחתי להיות הראשון שהפירסם הודעה

How to use Moodle in the English Classroom help



Posted on the English Teachers Communiity:
Hi! Allow me to use this post to help you use Moodle this year. Moodle is a Learning Platform or course management system (CMS) that can help you teach differently. Moreover, it is "developed on pedagogical principles, and is used for blended learning, distance education, flipped classroom and other e-learning projects in schools, universities, workplaces and other sectors" (see Wikipedia entry). Perhaps while you are getting ready for the school year, you wonder whether you can use the Moodle Platform that Mashov has made available in your school. There is a possibility that you are not sure how to do that, and you don't know of a course in which you can learn how to use Moodle. Perhaps you have looked for and found tutorials on the Web, but what you see is different from what you have at school. On a Google Slides Presentation attached here, I have put together a few "How to" videos (all except one focused on Moodle Mashov) that might help you overcome these problems. I don't know whether there will be a How to Use Moodle in the English Classroom Workshop this year, so in the spirit of ETAI, of which I am a member, I am glad to share with anyone interested. Let me know if it helps, please.

EFL Performance Task using Digital Tools on Moodle

A glimpse of the Performance Task on Moodle that I created while I was taking part in an amazing Ministry of Education and Open University workshop (June 27 - July 13' 2017). There will be a 3-day follow up at Shlomi in September, and I have enrolled. I do not know where and how it fits in the EFL program in Israel since our 30% is on Literature. I hope to use it with my pupils anyway.
