English for Specific Purposes Ministry of Education Moodle Templates


 The Israel Ministry of Education's Moodle team has just published four templates of courses that I have written:  "Intelligent Transport Systems" , " The Market and Economics", "Communication and the Internet", and "Engineering with Arduino".  Science and Technology teachers, who teach these subjects in either Hebrew or Arabic (depending of the pupil population they teach) have now FOUR English for Specific Purposes Moodle courses available to get copies of (as many as they need) and use with their pupils.

It is important to note that those who are expected to use the courses with their pupils are not teachers of English. Their task is to complement what they teach in Hebrew or Arabic using the Moodle courses. The courses can be self-paced or moderated. Teachers are supported by The Ministry of Education's English Department staff and by colleagues who teach English.

Pues déjame decirte que no lo es, 0:18 el Departamento de Inglés del Ministerio de Educación ha elegido Moodle como el lugar adecuado para estos cursos, esto no debería sorprenderte. Moodle es el mejor sistema de gestión del aprendizaje del mundo, 0:28 porque es fácil de usar, altamente configurable, es decir, flexible y tiene muchas características. El Ministerio de Educación tiene sus propias plataformas Moodle con las que los profesores estamos familiarizados, ya que Moodle es el entorno de aprendizaje utilizado en todos los talleres de desarrollo profesional, universidades y colegios. 0:52 Los profesores de Ciencia y Tecnología enseñan su materia en hebreo o árabe, según el idioma nativo de sus alumnos. Sin embargo, estos profesores deben enseñar vocabulario técnico en inglés en el marco del Ministerio de Educación. Hemos creado plantillas Moodle que ayudan a los profesores de Ciencia y Tecnología a hacer su trabajo. Estas son plantillas Moodle con contenido predefinido que los profesores pueden solicitar copias para sus alumnos matriculados. Los profesores pueden solicitar tantas copias de las plantillas como necesiten para utilizarlas como cursos. Son cursos Moodle autodirigidos que ofrecen a los estudiantes la posibilidad de aprender, practicar y tomar pruebas para aprender inglés técnico esencial.

Enhance K-12 English Foreign Language Skills with Moodle

 


This post (like a Smore Newsletter I will share) aims at giving teachers of English as Foreign Language confidence in their Moodle abilities. I hope it can whet their appetite for Moodle. No less important, I hope my colleagues can be helped to help their pupils use Moodle. Using Moodle can be done effectively as part and parcel of our teaching strategies.

MootGlobal22


I wish I could attend the Moodle Moot Global 2022 in Barcelona, but I can't. That is life. I hope Moodle shares something on its YouTube channel and elsewhere. There is always something interesting to learn about Moodle.

Dig into Digita helpl: Focus on Moodle Resources and Moodle Activities - Smore Newsletter #8

 Link to the newsletter

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).


This newsletter complements the Dig into Digital: Focus on H5P newsletter

Welcome to the Dig into Digital Let's Talk course

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

H5P in Dig into Digital Courses


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.
Happy Moodling!

Moodle en el marco del Dpto de Inglés - Ministerio de Educación de Israel


 By means of this video (in Spanish), I hope to give Spanish speaking colleagues an idea of how we are trying to boost the use of Moodle in K-12 in Israel. Perhaps colleagues will find the video useful when they encourage others in the use of Moodle at any level.


Por medio de este video (en español), espero darles a los colegas de habla hispana una idea de cómo estamos tratando de impulsar el uso de Moodle en K-12 en Israel. Quizás  colegas encuentren útil el video cuando alienten a otros en el uso de Moodle en cualquier nivel.

ElearningWorld: Using Moodle to Improve Teaching and Learning

 


It’s summertime in Israel. The school year is over. Having published here quite a lot about what has happened with the use of Moodle in K-12 in the Israeli school system in general, and in my work at school in particular, it would be repetitive to recapitulate the main points I have made. I’d rather look ahead.
