Hashtag: #EVO12M4T Moodle for Teachers (M4T) online workshop will take place on a Moodle website called Integrating Technology for Active Lifelong Learning (IT4ALL). The aim of the M4T workshop is to provide participants, who have never used Moodle or who would like to enrich their previous Moodle experiences, with the knowledge and skills to navigate a Moodle course, access resources and activities from a student perspective, and practice the same resources and activities in the team and class sandboxes as teachers. The participants will collaborate as they develop a lesson on the Moodle. Participants who complete all the activities of the workshop will receive a certificate of completion. The workshop will include both asynchronous (not dependent on time) and synchronous (time dependent) learning environments. The asynchronous will be conducted on the Moodle and the synchronous learning environment will be conducted on WizIQ through the M4T workshop. Participants will watch tutorials, participate in discussions, and practice in individual and in the class sandbox areas. The participants will also use Google docs for support (24/7) and collaborative work (planning and presenting the lesson). Via Dr. Nellie Deutsch
