Dear all -
We are up and running again - the site is on, access to courses
restored.
For the new school year, we have prepared several new courses, in
addition
to the oldies that have undergone a serious facelift. All the courses
have
been written by teachers and for teachers, all are completely
asynchronous;
all require two f2f meetings which - ask those who have taken our
courses -
are fun and in easily accessible locations.
Miri Yochanna has written "Teaching Beginner English with Phonics." The
course starts next week, and we still have a few places - don't miss
this
opportunity, especially if you teach elementary or junior high and have
only
been in the system for under 5 years - you are in for a hefty discount.
Peter Freedman's "Designing and Implementing Web-Based EFL Projects"
will
help those who prefer to honestly comply with the NBA requirements
rather
than to fake grades for projects never done. The course starts in
November,
so you still have time to register.
"Mining the Internet: Searching, Evaluating and Using Information in
the EFL
Classroom" is Dr. James Backer's course which you might consider taking
if
you already use the Web for teaching, but want to make sure you're
doing it
the right way. For a person as busy as Jimmy, an effort like creating
and
teaching this course is truly commendable; thank you Jimmy! The course
starts in mid-September, so hurry up folks.
In addition to the two courses I've been teaching for a number of
years, I
will be teaching "Creating and Managing an Educational Website with MS
FrontPage" - a very practical, hands-on course in educational web
design and
management (you could call it webmastering, in some sense). Those of
you who
have learned HTML programming or have been using Netscape Composer for
your
website building will find FrontPage (at least in its XP incarnation)
quite
a smart and user-friendly program that can greatly extend your
web-building
capabilities making your work much faster, easier and more pleasant.
This
course is also a pre-requisite for another web design course, "Creating
and
Deploying Interactive Online Materials for EFL Teaching," planned for
the
next semester. We are hopefully starting out at the end of September.
You can find more courses and more detailed information at our website.

May you have a good start tomorrow. May we all have a peaceful and
quiet
year.
Best -
Lev
