Samples of Final tasks - How to use Moodle in the English Classroom Work...



This coming ETAI Summer Conference is about engaging with the newest ideas and technologies; enhancing our knowledge; and Energizing us to reach greater heights in our classrooms. I am happy to show just a small sample of how colleagues, teachers of English in Israel who are taking part in the "How to use Moodle in the English Classroom" Workshop do exactly what the Conference is about. Would you like to join a similar workshop if and when it opens? It's not just Moodle! It's also The Flipped Classroom, Integrating different Digital Tools and experiencing a different way of learning and teaching. My compliments go to the teachers who have joined the course - They are the stars.

ETwinning Course: Collaborative ICT actvity involving Google Tour Builder and Google Spaces

The following is “an ICT activity which is part of the collaborative project [I] expect to launch in the future and that involves real collaboration, thereby obtaining a tangible and measurable end result that is directly related to the project [I am] planning and developing”.


ICT Tools to be used:
  1. Google Tour Builder
  2. Google Spaces
  3. Google Translator (so as to use “text-to-Voice” when creating a clip). There is a possibility of using Voki instead)
  4. D. Screencast O'Matic (so as to create a clip)
  5. Youtube ( where the clip can be hosted)


Pupils in each school that participates in the project will create the beginning of a Virtual Tour Using Google tour Builder. They will also open a Space on Google Spaces where mixed groups of students from all schools involved will collaborate to create the Tour.


When the Virtual Tour is ready, each “host” school will upload a video of the Tour created with Screencast O'Matic and uploaded on Youtube. The Clip will then be shared on the ETwinning Platform of the project.

Example of activity.
Name of the activity:”Let’s visit Israel”




The following video serves to illustrate the beginning of a Virtual Tour of Israel.



This activity aims at both improving pupils' English (all skills) and their use of ITC to collaborate and create a final product. Since the idea is to invo;ve pupils in the creation and evaluation process, a Rubric to evaluate the final product (s) will be negotiated among pupils and teachers.
