Profile
Lifelong Learner and Doctoral Student
- My name is Nellie Deutsch . I am currently writing my doctoral dissertation after completing a 3 year program in educational leadership, specializing in curriculum and instruction at the University of Phoenix online (scheduled to finish in 2009). I am researching blended learning and instructor use of web 2.0 tools for instruction and learning in higher education.
Online Learner
- I studied for my MA and am currently pursuing my doctoral studies online at the University of Phoenix. I have been inspired by my positive online learning experiences to help make online learning free and available worldwide to those who cannot afford to pay the high tuition.
- I have participated in the following free online courses:
- iEARN Moving Voices - Digital Video Exchanges and other professional development programs at iEARN
- EVO Moderator Training and Electronic Village Online (EVO09)
- Facilitating Online Communities (FOC08)
- Connectivism and Connective Knowledge (CCK08)

Curriculum & Instructional Specialist
I have developed curriculum and instructional artifacts for English as a foreign and second language and other subjects individually and in teams throughout my MA and doctoral studies.
Experienced English Teacher
- I am a Canadian (Toronto) residing in Israel. I have been teaching English as a foreign language to high school and adult learners for over 30 years. I am interested in collaborating with other teachers worldwide and do this on Building Relationship.
- I use technology with my face-to-face classes by blending computer programs and the Internet.
- I teach English via computer related topics such a MS and other applications and computer hardware.
- I teach English by involving my high school students in international collaborative projects
Blended Learning Specialist
- In my free time, I help educators become aware of the value of integrating web 2.0 tools for instruction and learning on a Moodle website called Integrating Technology: Exploring New Domains. I am doing this on a voluntary basis because I am passionate about learning and would like to see e-learning available and free worldwide. I believe collaboration is the key to improving education and ultimately contributing to world peace.
Expert in Social Networking
- I am the editor of Etni Rag, an online journal on a voluntary basis (writers invited) and involved in social networking: Doctoral Students, English United Teachers of Israel, and e-learning in developing and developed countries. In addition, I created the following ning social blogs:International Collaboration, Blended Learning and Instruction, Online Instruction, and a few wikis on wikispaces, pbwikis, and wetpaint. You are invited to join and contribute to learning and instruction, Connecting Online ning and online conference via WiZiQ, and other ning and facebook groups I created. I am passionate about learning and love to share my explorations and findings with others. One of my projects was published on Once Upon a School. You are invited to contact me directly or leave a message on my talk page.
