My Review of MM7: Kahoot and Socrative as Online Tools for Testing

MM7 REVIEW 14

Presenter: Marijana Smolčec

Date: November 22, 2015

Link -

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.

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).

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.
