**** ETNI on the web http://www.etni.org.il http://www.etni.org **** (*ETNI NOTE - Please note *****CONTACT DETAILS***** at bottom of following message which sender managed to properly include with message this time. PLEASE do not reply to ask@xxxxxxxxx) -------- Original Message -------- Subject: online courses @Schiffman Institute From: "Lev@Bezeq" <labra@xxxxxxxxxxxx> "Bullying in School: Prevention and Intervention" taught online by an expert Leslie Bowman from Virginia, the US, is actually the first time we are offering a course taught by an instructor who is not physically present in Israel. We are making further efforts to provide attractive, cutting-edge content developed by US academics - at a price not exceeding that of locally-produced courses. You can find the course rationale provided by the developer at http://www.etni.org/courses/bullying.htm Taking into account that the Bagrut date is May 18, we have set the start date to May 20. The 56-hour course is only 8 weeks long (over by mid-August). Due to its asynchronous nature it can be taken even if you are planning to travel: you can log in from any computer, and there are no fixed hours. Registration is open to teachers, coordinators and counsellors (not restricted to English teachers - teachers of any subject can register provided their English is adequate). There will be a f2f meeting; the rest of the learning will occur online, totally asynchronously. To register, please send an e-mail to admin@xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx requesting a registration form. The course is with a 'gmul' (recognized also for teachers on Sabbatical - please indicate your status). You can browse other online courses we are offering at http://www.schiffman-institute.com/moo (click on Available courses, then on a blue circle with an "i" to the right of a course title to read the course info) - all these courses are 56 hours long, with a gmul, and totally asynchronous (except for a f2f meeting required by the Ministry). The [constantly growing] list includes at the moment * Creating and Managing an Educational Web Site with MS FrontPage (Instructor: Lev Abramov) * Planning and Implementing Web-Based EFL Projects (Facilitator: Peter Freedman) * Efficient EFL Instruction in a Web-Enabled Computer Lab (Instructor: Lev Abramov) * Mining the Internet for EFL (Instructor: Dr. James Backer) * Integrating Internet Resources into Classroom EFL Teaching. (Instructor: Lev Abramov) Please spread the word around doing a favor both to us and to all the colleagues who are not on the list. In the nearest future, we'll be able to add more online courses to this list (click on Courses in Development, then on a blue circle with an "i" to the right of a course title to read the course info): * An Alternative Pedagogy for Teaching Poetry in Israeli EFL Classes (Instructor: Dr. James Backer) * Collaborative EFL Learning And Teaching On The Web (Facilitator: Peter Freedman) * Teaching First-Year English Using the Phonics Approach (Instructor: Miri Yochanna) * Creating and Deploying Interactive Online Materials for EFL Teaching (Instructor: Lev Abramov) * Creating Animated Elements for Educational Websites (Flash Animation Made Easy) (Instructor: Lev Abramov) * Methodology of Teaching EFL at a Distance (Instructor: Lev Abramov) * Moderating an Online Course (Instructor: Lev Abramov) * East Meets West: Cross-Cultural Coexistence through the Eyes of Oriental-American Writers (Instructor: Natalie Martkovich) Send an e-mail in advance to let us know you are interested in a course that is still in development stage: as soon as it is ready we'll notify you. Do not hesitate to e-mail me for further information. We are proud of the quality of our courses and, should need be, can put you in touch with people who have already take our courses and can tell you about their impression and experience.
