Note: THis blog contains also a few posts on what I did in the Moodle Areas of the MOOC.
If there is one tool I was familiar with, but had never used before, that tool is Slidespeech. As a result of this MOOC, I have started making very good use of this great tool. That is one more thing I gained from attending MM7.

What I take from what I heard, read, saw in the event (MM7)
On the whole, I find that what I saw and heard on the Webinars I attended (either live or by means of the recording) makes me more sure of the road I have taken as a teacher: I have long made a decision that it is worth taking risks, innovating, meeting new challenges, changing the way I teach, learning by doing and by teaching, and feeling that that is the right thing to do. To be sure, MM7 Webinars have in common that daring to change is rright, whereas staying in the comfort zone of the past is not a stand a teacher in the 21st Century can take.
It seems that I have not heard much that is "new" to me when it comes to teaching and learning. This is ot, however, true. I may have heard much, but as i reflected on some of the Webinars, I found out that I should put more effort on applying some ideas different presenters discussed. I will take a few as examples:
Angelos Bollas (link to his session) mentioned feeding forward as a practice that certainly reinforces learning. I must do that more often.
Dr. Ludmila Smirnova (link to her Webinar) talked about creating "a sense of community" among the participants of a Moodle workshop (of course, she discussed other things, too). I have made it a point to apply that suggestion in a Moodle workshop I have developed and am about to start, while I have already done so on two workshops I am facilitating. I enjoyed the way she presented this idea.
Marjorie Rosenberg (link to her Webinar) discussed ways to engage different learners. She made me remember what I had studied when i took courses on the subjects that she discussed. I noticed that I apply ideas she mentioned, but made me aware of the fact that I must record what I do to make it better as time goes by.
I enjoyed the Webinar.
Finally, the Webinar "Digital Storytelling in the classroom" made me check again how creating cartoons in order to tell a story can be integrated into my lessons (and how I cn get pupils to create those stories).
Note: Not having dealt on this post on what Iearned on the other Webinars does not mean that I have not learned anything on them, or that they are not worth spending time on. However, what I mentioned on this post seems to me, at this stage, the most rlevant stuff I take along with me.

This presentation introduced the audience to two tools that are very useful for face to Face mmetings. The main purpose of the session was to show that with Kahoot and Socrative you engage your pupils
As a teacher using any or both these tools, you get ...
- feedback quickly
- instant information
- fun
- it for free
- to enable competition
- results
I watched the recording of the session. I am familiar with both tools and use Kahoot everynow and then.
The following video will add to this review

My review of MM7: Designing and Teaching a course with Moodle with Dr. Ludmila Smirnova
MM7 REVIEW 11
Ludmila’s session introduced me to the way she creates, develops and facilitates her Moodle courses. her presentation was well organized. I was impressed by the amount of information she delivered in a calm, relaxed way. I certainly learned a lot from her (more on this below).
Ludmila’s session introduced me to the way she creates, develops and facilitates her Moodle courses. her presentation was well organized. I was impressed by the amount of information she delivered in a calm, relaxed way. I certainly learned a lot from her (more on this below).
I did not connect with other participants, as I watched a recording of the session.
I am quite interested in the design and creation of Moodle courses, so this session has catered to my interests.
One thought that went through my mind during the event is that I agree with the presenter in that we have to try, take risks and not be afraid to fail when creating, developing and facilitating a course. I do that for sure.
I felt very good during the session, as I heard what I wanted to hear. The session certainly met my expectations.
The challenge I keep encountering in implementing some of the ideas has to do with
convincing Ministry of Education people who have a say (and decision making power) that since we in Israel have access to a Moodle platform in many schools (in other words, lots of teachers at our disposal here, we should help teachers learn and use it with their pupils. Training teachers in a Ministry of Education framework is, I believe, a must so that teachers do not have to look for courses everywhere (most are expensive) because it is in the interest of the Ministry to help teachers learn and use Moodle
I have taken steps can you take to resolve this challenges: I have been trying to get those who can make it possible for me to teach teachers of English in Israel give me a chance to do so.
In the future, and as a result of what you heard, read, and saw in the event, I would you like to do develop and facilitate a Mooc for teachers of English in israel. This Mooc should be recognized by the Ministry of Education a professional development course.

MM7 Week 1 - What is Moodle?
Moodle is simply the best LMS there is.
It is so good that you can integrate into it many of New Technologies' most useful tools that support learning and teaching.
I find this video suitable to express what Moodle means
My introduction on the MM7 "Introduce Yourself Here" Forum
Hi!
I am quite happy to be taking part in another of these great Moocs. Dr.Nellie Deutsch and tom Hodgers certainly do a great job in each and every Mooc. The same applies to lots of people who share on the Webinars and elsewhere in the framework of the Moocs! Kudos to all.
I have decided to give SlideSpeech a try so as to introduce myself in adifferent way.
Here is the result (click here to open in a new window)
