Web 2.0 Tools for Institute of Education Sciences Employees
(January - October 2015)
|
The project befitted Institute of Education Scie_nces (ISE), as it enriched its curriculum with an innovative, cutting edge project based on elaborating specialized IT courses for teachers and educators from Moldova. The project combined IT technologies and language instruction in a fresh, creative way. Project participants, Institute of Education Sciences staff (especially foreign languages professors and trainers), became experts in coordinating projects using modern technologies, such as web 2.0 platforms, in training school and university professors from all regions of Moldova. Unlike other academic courses, this project was highly practical and well incorporated in Moldovan national curriculum: while learning how to integrate web tools in teaching foreign languages, the participants created blogs, posted student homework and shared their teaching materials with their colleagues and school or university administrators. Every weekly assignment required teachers to engage students and school administration in online projects and tasks, thus creating real-life online educational platforms aligned with Ministry of Education standards. Project funded by IREX (International Research and Exchange Board).
