"For the veterans of the Moodle Learning Management System, my guest today may need no introduction. Kim Salinas, a Solutions Architect at Elearning Experts, is perhaps the most recognizable Moodle teacher out there. First with the Moodle Course Creators Certificate and now with the more comprehensive MEC, for years, Kim has been at the forefront of the efforts to make Moodle both more understandable and instrumental to learner success.

In this conversation we talk about:

The Moodle Educator Certificate or MEC, which contrary to what the name may imply, does not teach you how to use Moodle, but how to take your digital education to the next level—through the use of Moodle.

Digital Education Competencies, and why teachers everywhere should consider them essentials in our New Normal of learning

How the MEC is a milestone in the way Moodle and its Partners approach education and the ways the MEC itself is in continuous evolution

Why the MEC is not for everyone, but how partners like Kim and Elearning Experts are excellent guides into the marvelous world of Moodle

And if you want to understand how the MEC fits into the larger Moodle ecosystem, check out the talk by Moodle Founder and CEO Martin Dougiamas at the eLearning Success Summit."

Using Moodle to get ready for COBE - January 2021

I share the way I help my pupils get ready for their Oral matriculation exam. While there are digital tools that enable teachers and pupils to record themselves and practice to get ready for the Computerized Oral Bagrut Examination, there is ONE ENVIRONMENT that makes it easy for us to do this in ONE PLACE: Moodle. As for me, I use Moodle Mashov, I appreciate both the great work done by Mashov people to get the environment to function well and the support Mashov provides. If you have access to Moodle Mashov, give it a try. If you do not, you may want to get your free Moodle Platforms from the Ministry of Education. Why use two or three different tools (and you can't be sure they are available at all times, and for free, and that you can store data without endangering your privacy and that of your pupils) instead of one, Moodle?. If you use Moodle (Mashov or the Ministry Platform), you can be sure you do not risk any danger or harm, and probably get a good job done.
