Moodle for Teachers (M4T) is a free online school. M4T was developed in 2009 by Dr. Nellie Deutsch to bring free e-learning to developing and developed countries in blended and fully online programs. The aim of the online school is to provide free Moodle training for teachers, technology coordinators at schools and businesses, and ICT leaders around the world. In addition, M4T offers free professional development courses, MOOCs, webinars, online conferences, and other online events foe educators around the world.

Moodle is an amazing learning management system that engage learners with each other, the content, and the facilitator of the course. Collaboration, teamwork, and effective communication are key aspects of learning. Moodle has them all. Learn how to use Quick Mail to connect with the other participants in your Moodle course.

Here’s a bit about me. I've been teaching in the K-12 sector with the Internet in blended learning formats since 1993. I am grateful to my students for trusting me to try things out, so I can learn, improve, and share my knowledge and skills with other teachers. I would not be where I am today without you guys.

I have been working as an admin of Moodle sites and teaching online with Moodle since 2003. Moodle has changed quite a bit in the past 17 years, but because I am constantly upgrading sites to the latest Moodle versions and teaching online with Moodle, I get a lot of hands-on practice. I'd like to share that knowledge with you.

Welcome to my channel where I show you how to create and teach online and in face-to-face courses using Moodle (since 2003), Google classroom (since 2014), ZOOM (2015), WizIQ (2007), and other technologies (Padlet, Quizlet, Kahoot, Screencast-o-matic, Vocaroo, Congrea, PoodLL, Jitsi, Voki, VoiceThread, Flipgrid). You will learn about the tools and how to engage learners via teamwork, digital badges, and online certificates. You will also learn about the free online courses, webinars, MOOCs, and online conferences I offer on Moodle for Teachers and how you can join.

This channel is for you if you love to learn. I believe that we learn best when we teach and share information with others. So feel free to share your videos and the work you do with your students.
