The focus of this week's "Teach with Moodle Templates" Smore newsletter is on the use of "Moodle Resources" and "Moodle Activities" in the different Dig into Digita Moodle Templates (courses).
Israel's Ministry of Education Dig into Digital Moodle courses through the Engish inspectorate provide teachers and students with ready made content and tasks that facilitate independent learning.
The courses include automated instant feedback as well as sections that enable teachers to give their feedback.
The Dig into Digital Let's Talk program, for example, provides ample opportunities that encourage pupils to work on their oral proficiency.
Through acquisition of relevant vocabulary and modeling of proper pronunciation, students are exposed to a variety of topics that will be useful in their own lives.
Let's Talk encourages pupils to practice, practice, and practice some more.
Moreover, Let'sTalk helps pupils stay calm and speak confidently, working at their own pace. The message to our students is: YOU CAN DO IT
We, teachers of English as a Foreign Language in K-12 in Israel, face many challenges when introducing our pupils to the Dig into Digital Moodle courses. One way of smoothing our path towards an enjoyable use of these courses is by understanding the digital tools used in them. One of these tools is H5P (H5P is an abbreviation for HTML5 Package).
The focus of this week's "Teach with Moodle Templates" Smore newsletter is on the use of H5P activities in the different courses. I have picked several examples. Please note that you will not see examples from all the courses simply because the ones that appear cover most H5P use in any Dig into Digital Moodle course.
I hope my colleagues are engaged when they understand the digital aspects of the Moodle courses better. I also hope I manage to whet your appetite for the Dig into Digital courses.
