When talking about the greatest strengths of our educational presentation software mozaBook, traditionally, science subjects such as chemistry, physics, or biology come to mind - and rightfully so. It is easy to get amazed by the visual content in the media library, since the vivid pictures, 3D scenes and the vast collection of educational videos all help the teacher to illustrate their point or a certain topic creatively, without spending endless hours preparing for the lesson.
However, with some thoughts based on my personal teaching experience, I would like to give you a few tips and emphasize how useful and exciting mozaBook can be in the field of second language teaching and learning.
Every teacher tries to pass their knowledge on to their students, but teaching practices, approaches, and educational methods are varied. According to many, without a thorough knowledge of grammar, one will have a hard time expressing their thoughts in the classroom, not to mention real-life situations, while others are extremely passionate about encouraging pupils to talk to each other in a foreign language already in the early stages of language acquisition and strongly advocate the importance of communication. In my opinion, the best you can do is always seek to find the balance, whether it is a private lesson or a language class in the school. Motivate the students in every possible way, because at the end of the day, our main goal is to make sure that language becomes a major part of their lives outside of the classroom as well.
For this reason let me guide you through some of the most important applications and features in mozaBook that can help a tutor engage students and simply turn, let’s say an English class, into a lot of fun.
Let us begin with some options in mozaBook purely designed for language teaching. For example, have you checked out the language learning related games, like Lan(g)ame or Word class?
After selecting the language pair I wish to practice, Lan(g)ame works like the penalty shootout in football as two students, or even two groups of them, have their own turns during which they try to score as many points as they can by determining the meanings of words in the selected foreign language. You can also pick the “image - word pairing” or the “gap-filling” exercise available in numerous languages, such as French, English, German, or Arabic.
Another important and useful game, called Word class, also needs to be mentioned here since grammar is usually regarded as one of the most sleep-inducing subjects; however, its importance is truly immense in reading comprehension and forming correct sentences.
As you do with activities in the classroom, make homework assignments meaningful and manageable in mozaBook. The more you emphasize the need to reinforce what is learned in the classroom through independent practice or group work, the more efficient learning and teaching will be.
Among the mozaBook applications you can find several options to improve and expand the vocabulary of the students. Give your pupils the experience of practicing words with the help of customized Word cards that are designed to provide the language learner with a word, part of speech tags, and even example sentences. Teach the proper spelling of longer expressions, or how to use false friends playfully, with the help of fun games or by competing with fellow students.
No matter what your favourite is, these apps and tools are quick, easy to use, and helpful in memorizing not only the meanings, but also the punctuation and spelling of the words.
Next time, I am going to focus on how the Media library content (3D scenes and videos) in mozaBook Multilang software (language of the interface, the applications, and all the media content can be switched any time during the lesson) can serve as a perfect tool in language teaching, especially in bilingual education institutions all around the world.
Here at Mozaik Education we are committed to the principle that “Knowing that you do not know much is knowing a lot.” Even after more than 20 years of hard work in the industry, we are not satisfied with what has already been achieved. Otherwise it feels like trying to tame a wild cat: you think you are making progress, then it gets away from you. Every day we begin our work like there is no tomorrow, pondering on how school education can be improved today. Only by putting ourselves in students' shoes can we reach our goals ,which is why Mozaik is extremely pleased to see more and more schools join with our partners .
Our Bulgarian partner, Keisem, puts a lot of effort into expanding the number of local schools using our mozaBook platform on a daily basis. We are really happy to see Mozaik solutions have caught on in Bulgaria and will do our best in their further support and development.
For instance, the first regional conference for sharing the best practices in the development of interactive content, using the educational platform mozaBook, was held in Haskova on 21st and 22nd of April. One of city’s hotel welcomed the representatives of 14 schools from Kazanlak, Stara Zagora, Pleven, Plovdiv, Pazardzhik, Lovech, Radnevo, Galabovo, Krumovgrad and Haskovo, who had the opportunity to demonstrate how mozaBook changed their way of teaching. Such burning issues as the advantages of the interactive learning and what resources and techniques of mozaBook are usually applied in the classroom were covered during the assembly.
Each lecturer stepped onstage with a 15-minute presentation, depicting how the lesson can be created and spiced up with the help of the mozaBook toolkit. The subjects were extremely diverse: mathematics, biology, health education, languages, history, as well as specialized subjects such as internal combustion engines and economics.
All attendees were strongly convinced that such an up-to-date approach of education is the next step not only to engage students, but also to affect their final results.The feedback from the teachers was extremely positive. The participants made sure that mozaBook is a platform with unlimited possibilities.

Mozaik Education and Mozaik’s official distributor in Iraq, Al-Nabaa are happy to announce a brand new pilot project in Baghdad, Iraq. The project was launched this March in cooperation with Baghdad High School College. The main goal of the project was to introduce our most state-of-the-art digital education technology, also known as the mozaLearn system, to the country. It was a fun project to work on and we certainly hope that all teachers and students involved enjoy mozaBook as much as we do.
The project had several stages. During the first stage, twenty teachers received mozaBook training and learned to enrich textbooks with 3Ds, videos and exercises. All the teachers were very excited and actively participated in the training, asking questions, taking notes and practicing on their own devices. During the second stage of the project, teachers enriched local Iraqi textbooks with help of Nawfal Nadnan Ahmed from Al-Nabaa and Péter Török from Mozaik Education. All in all, 21 textbooks were enriched. The third stage was the introduction of mozaWeb Premium for students, who were provided mozaWeb Premium subscriptions so they could receive homework from their teachers, open electronic books from home, and participate in interactive classwork.
A large-scale event was held on 6th March, 2017 to celebrate the start of the project. It was attended by many notable people, such as the Vice Minister of Education, Mr. Ibrahim Abd Wali; Baghdad Governor, Dr. Ryadh Al-Adhadh; the General Manager of 1st Rusafa Education District, Dr. Falah Al-Qaysi; Dr. Hasanien Muaalah, General Manager of affairs at the Ministry; Mr. Zahid, General Manager of 1st Karkh Education District; and the Dean Of Ibn Al-Haitham Education College, Dr. Fahad Al-Gburi.
After receiving certificates and letters of appreciation and excellence, teachers performed presentations on different subjects using mozaBook. During these presentations, they demonstrated the usage of electronic textbooks enriched with Mozaik’s content, 3Ds, educational tools, and educational videos. One of the students even gave a presentation on the benefits of using mozaBook on tablets in the classroom.
The project received positive media attention in Iraq. Some of the presentations as well as interviews with officials and teachers can be viewed in this news report, and many more photos can be found on our facebook page.
Mozaik Education is delighted to see more and more schools using our educational presentation software, mozaBook. In this blog post I will tell you a bit more about our work in the Netherlands.
The Netherlands is a rather new market for us, but thanks to the excellent infrastructure available to literally each and every school in the country as well as good IT skills among the teachers, mozaBook’s presence and recognition in the country is growing steadily. This success was achieved with the creative input of our local partners -- Vidistry and Bureau Leren. Vidistry is an interactive whiteboard producer and a mozaBook distributor. Their interactive whiteboards can be purchased with pre-installed mozaBook software, which means that Dutch teachers can purchase two amazing and essential educational products from the same provider. 
Most schools also order a training package from a Dutch mozaBook wizard, Niek Scholts (Bureau Loren), who developed an engaging and informative training programme in Dutch. The enthusiastic teachers on the pictures are from the Sterrenboom school in Stolwijk, and recently had their week of training with Niek. You can see them working on student laptops during the “digital classroom” session. Next year the Sterrenboom school will join the league of official mozaBook schools and will start spreading the joy of digital education.
If you would like to introduce mozaBook to your country, please contact office@mozaweb.com. We are open to partnering with textbook publishers, hardware producers, distributors, training centers and schools alike. Let’s promote digital education in your country together!
There is a good proverb: “Knowledge is boundless, human capacity, limited.” Even if it is a popular wisdom, we, at Mozaik Education, bend over backwards trying to argue the point. We strongly believe there are no limits, whether it is a personal life or educational approach. Every day a new task is set: how to make the education process more attractive and effective both for teachers and students. As our various products are constantly being improved and developed, it assures us that we are on the right track.
The recent events which our Bulgarian partner, Keisem, shared with us are another good example of successful integration of how Mozaik products can be implemented worldwide.
This April, a new Mathematical Laboratory at №125 secondary school in Sofia opened the doors to students allowing them to use the latest computer technologies. The institution is currently one of the best in the country, always striving to fortify its positions by drawing attention to the recent trends in education technology. We are extremely proud to have assisted them in such a complicated mission. During a demo lesson, students showed their best solving numerous logical tasks and drawing geometrical figures on the interactive board with the mozaBook software. The interactive board provides a unique opportunity to present educational content, grabbing the attention of students by turning all given information into an intriguing journey.
The event was marked by a famous guest who attended the class and made an outstanding contribution: renowned mathematician, Veselin Drenski, director of the Institute of Mathematics and Informatics at the Bulgarian Academy of Sciences, Petar Kenderov, Chairman of the Board of the Union of Mathematicians in Bulgaria, and many others.
Also, 14 interactive classrooms were opened up in Ivan Vazov University in Pleven. Ms. Diana Yoncheva deserves an honourable mention as well; she taught students to love and respect the heritage of ancient scholars like Thales, Aristotle and Pythagoras. And again, mozaBook was just a few clicks away to make all dreams come true. As explained by students of the Ivan Vazov University, "Audio and video files contribute to raising interest in the learning process by breaking the standard training program."
If you would like to have an experience similar to that of Sofia №125 secondary school and Pleven teachers you may download the free mozaBook software from here or email us at office@mozaweb.com.

This year, Mozaik returned to the GESS show again, which is one of the most important educational expos of the Middle East. The three days we spent there were fun and quite fruitful, and wanted to share this adventure with our readers and followers.
Although it has been the 5th time Mozaik has visited Dubai, every time still feels like a completely new experience. The GESS show, traditionally held in mid-March, is always high on our list of places to be, since it is a real hub of educational ideas and provides an amazing opportunity to showcase our products. Attracting visitors from GCC countries as well as Africa and Southeast Asia, it is an excellent place to present all our Arabic content. As mozaBook has been fully “arabized”, it garnered praise and attention from fellow exhibitors and visitors alike. In particular, the narrated animations of our 3D models and the subtitles of our videos - available in Arabic, of course - seemed to impress a lot of people.
It might have just been the awesome weather, but everyone seemed very happy to be attending the exhibition. GESS was the perfect place to catch up with old friends and make some new ones, too. As always, Mozaik’s stand was extremely busy, often making us wish we had more interactive displays and more manpower to promote mozaBook.
Check out more cool pictures from our photo diary of the exhibition on facebook.
