Moodle MOOC 8 (MM8)took place from May 1 - 31, 2016
on Moodle for Teachers and on Integrating Technology Online Academy on
WizIQ. The purpose of the MOOC is to connect with educators for
instruction and learning, reflective practice, social and collaborative
learning, cultural exchange and peace, personal and professional
development, community building, best practices and challenges involved
in teaching with and without technology, student engagement with the
content, peers, and the facilitator, and learning to teach online with
Moodle course and learning management system.
MM8 includes webinars and Moodle training. The presenters of the webinars will focus on connecting online for collaborative learning and teaching with technology, education technology, professional development, and topics that pertain to teaching and learning online and/or on mobile devices/smartphones.
Reflecting on 5 webinars
This event gave to me the opportunity to be connected with the other attendees.There were many ways to cooperate and to have an exchange. Speakers and tutors have been approachable and supported learners with their comments and especially by examples.I participated in most of webinars,but sometimes work engagements prevented me from taking live sessions, so I watched recordings.
An interesting point about personal and personalized learning I found in a work of Dr. Ebba Ossiannsson. The needs of a complexity of a world today must be met with diferent set of a capabilities of modern students. The biggest on students learning occur when teachers become learners of their own teaching, and when students become their own teachers...that is something that I would say to my coleagues.

Anticipating the needs of learners in virtual worlds, a webinar by Dr.Nancy Zingrone was another event I found very interesting. A questions about pros and cons, positive and negative sensations that students experiences in VW are the questions frequntly in a practice of teaching in VW.
Reflecting on teachers behaviors on social media by Kerin Heuert Galva. Important questions teachers must ask themselves is not shall I use social media, but how do I use them. The comunication area of 21. century learners is moved almost completely towards social networks. So whats writen there is what counts, we have to ask ourselves will we understand eachother in the future and how do we meet that new way of comunication.
How to use moodle in the English Classroom by Eduardo Lina. I found Eduardos story very familiar. Listening to him I recognised the same problems I have in my practice. The work in e-learning wery often looks like Siziphs work(roling a stone uphill) and when you reach some point theres allways a ministry to unhelp-same here(Serbia) and same jn Israel-ppl just wont undrerstand.
Moodle MOOC 8 Week 4and trough all the weeks of this course we were here for the sake of each other. And that is the greatest thing of m4t courses and events, learning from eachother in interaction
with coleagues from all ower the world. With the constant suport from Dr.Nellie and her team-the sky is the limit.
I enroled this course with more than 8 years of experience in work with moodle, and what I was looking for was the experiences and ideas of my coleagues from all ower the world-and I found it!
Thanks again Dr.Nellie.
