Happy Moodle MOOCing on WizIQ

Happy Moodle MOOCing on WizIQ | Academic Writing (AW) | Scoop.it

Share your moments as a Moodle MOOCer @ WizIQ.

Dr. Nellie Deutsch's curator insight, June 3, 10:23 AM

I'd like you to think of the Moodle MOOC on WizIQ: http://www.wiziq.com/course/20705-teaching-with-moodle as an event that is taking place in a city or town, at a hotel, campus, in a building, in a neighborhood, or at a park/camping area. You may share images of how you visualize the Moodle MOOC.

You don't have to drive or walk from room to room, building to building or house to house. All you need to do is click, touch, push a button, use the keyboard, or give your computer or mobile device a voice or gesture command (if you have these). However, you will need to have access to the Internet and to a device to get you to the learning environments.

In week 1, you will be getting acquainted with each other, the layout of the course, and learning about your personal and professional needs as a learner and teacher. 

There are 3 main learning environments on the MOOC:

WizIQ with the courseware for the live online sessions and recordings, for the content (tutorials) and coursefeed for ongoing discussions during and after the MOOC). Google Drive (interactive syllabus is also available on WizIQ)
Moodle experience is available on http://moodle4teachers.org/ with 3 separate Moodle experience courses and conversations (see below) organized for each of the weeks (topics of Moodle MOOC)
Moodle practice for teacher role, manager role, and administrator role is available on http://www.integrating-technology.com/moodle 
You are invited to join the conversations on the frontpage of moodle4teachers.org:

Conversation on Moodle Layout (Activities, Resources, Blocks):http://moodle4teachers.org/mod/forum/view.php?f=17
Conversation on Creating Engaging Activities: http://moodle4teachers.org/mod/forum/view.php?f=18
Conversation on Learning & Teaching Online: http://moodle4teachers.org/mod/forum/view.php?f=19
Conversation on WizIQ on Moodle: http://moodle4teachers.org/mod/forum/view.php?f=20
Conversation on Going Beyond the Moodle MOOC for Active Lifelong Learning:http://moodle4teachers.org/mod/forum/view.php?f=21
Finally, an upgraded version of the recording of the opening ceremony is now available for downloading and viewing.

For ongoing questions, suggestions, and comments, please use the following forums:

Passionate about Learning (PaL) ++ “You Matter” for a Better Life

Passionate about Learning (PaL) ++ “You Matter” for a Better Life | Academic Writing (AW) | Scoop.it

IMHO, we are ruled by emotions. Our thoughts and most of our behavior is determined by how we feel. Learning about our feelings is the first step to understanding others.

Our lives can improve by tapping into our feelings. Mindfulness meditation is one way of learning to observe our emotions. We can make a difference in people’s lives by becoming more mature emotionally and developing a relationship-based attitude to your family, work, business, learning, and fun places. Our level of stress will decrease as a result of the “You Matter” attitude we show others.

 

Relationships are determined by our emotions. Relating to people with a you matter attitude in our homes, workplaces, school, and in public places is key to our well being and theirs.
People will enjoy your company if you provide them with a caring attitude.

 

People’s choice of a product or service is determined by the “You Matter” attitude they get. Once a product, services, school, or organization becomes habitual, it’s very hard to let go and use another even if it’s better. If you want to market a course/school, product, or services, you need to get people hooked to the experience of using the product, service and so on by making them feel good about themselves and the experience they get. Everyone needs to feel wanted and more importantly, significant. It’s a win-win situation when people feel that they matter. The product loses its meaning when people feel good. However, the experience you provide has to be authentic.
