Profile
Doctoral Student
- My name is Nellie Deutsch . I am currently pursuing a doctorate 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.
Curriculum Development & 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.
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
Integrating Technology
- 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.
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.

Digifolio
Digifolio is one of many online courses developed for EVO09. Although I am moderatoating the course, I was asked to remove the content from Wikieducator since EVO09 and TESOL are using pbwiki and no other wiki. However, I will be reflecting on the course and adding resources on digital portfolio identification and e-portfolios.
