It was a Wonderful MEC Program, indeed!

If you sometimes wonder how you can do better with Moodle, I suggest you think of taking up The Moodle Educator Certification (MEC) program. I did, and, in many ways, it has made a difference. Indeed, it was a Wonderful MEC Program, and it has had a long-lasting impact on me (Read more)

Concerning Moodle 2.5 MOOC on WIZIQ - Dr. Neliie Dutsch

That was the MOOC in which Nellie Deutsch first introduced me to the wonders of using Moodle with the role of a teacher. Nellie has really inspired me. I have gone some way since that first MOOC (it was NOT the only one I took with Nellie. I was also a participant, and presenter, in some of Nellie's many projects). To mention just one example, two days ago I could present (at an Israel Ministry of Education Meetup in Tel Aviv attended by people who have a say in K12 education here) something that is having, and I guess will have even more an impact on how pupils do their Computerized Oral Matriculation Exam in English in Israel. It is meant to help (it already does) teachers of English in the system, and their pupils. Most pupils in the School system take that exam, so this may concern thousands of pupils. In many ways, this is an outcome of Nellie's influence on education, too: It is Teachers for Teachers as Nellie puts it. Thank you, Nellie!

Ministry of Education Meetup - Digital Assessment and The COBE Template

 Good morning!

I would like to report concerning a Ministry of Education Meetup of last Monday evening , June 7th, 2021
 I attach  images  with a report on the event (they appear on two important  Ministry of Education-affiliated Facebook groups centered on Technology and Innovation https://www.facebook.com/tikshuvil/  and https://www.facebook.com/groups/TechInnovationCom/about) and more
I was the presenter at a Round table, and introduced The COBE template, information about which was made available digitally by means of a QR. I also wrote a post on one of the Facebook groups about the Template (attached image)
The important point, I believe, is that I stressed the collaboration that brought about the creation of this Template, and the fact that we have come up with something that is already serving hundreds of teachers (465 have viewed the Template. I have to find out how many copies have been requested by how many teachers so far. And yet, I believe we will witness the real impact next school year).

" While there are many hurdles to overcome when teaching teenagers in High School fully or partially online, perhaps convincing them that what you are “delivering” on your Moodle course (I am sorry, but when I think “online”, I think “Moodle”) is relevant to their lives now (and not just in the future) is a major hurdle. We live in the WIIFM (What’s in it for me?) era, and to engage teens I have to persuade them that my “cool stuff”, I mean, content on Moodle, is somehow as important as any other “cool stuff” (a game, Instagram content, a Tik Tok video, etc.) that competes for their attention. It is a tough competition, mind you... Read more
