mozaTool Instruments is an app for English-speaking students learning music or non-English speaking students learning English - anyway, it offers images and sounds of dozens of musical instruments.
It can be used from a very early age: with kindergarten children just leave the names until later and let them enjoy the pairing of the image and the sound.
You can sort any instrument by clicking on its name, the image can be zoomed in on for further details and you can listen to its sound by clicking on the play button under the image. If you want to learn more about the instrument just click on the “W” in the right bottom corner of the image to open the relevant Wikipedia article.
Famous people – no matter if historical figures or contemporary celebrities – never cease to impress us. mozaTool Hall of Fame helps students to find out more about them with just a couple of clicks.
Though the Hall of Fame app including more than 1,000 famous people can be found among history tools, it can be used in almost any classes, just use the filter panel to narrow the list of people according to your needs.
Click on the clock icon in the right bottom corner of the list view window to filter by time period. The slider under the timer enables you to produce a historical who’s who for a time period as short as 60 years, which can be used e.g. for exploring the contemporary peers of the historical figure/artist the students are just learning about.
The course book has always been an essential part of the teaching-learning process. It is the storehouse of information used both to learn and to teach from. If I take a course book I can work with all the information gathered in it. However, this in itself is not satisfying any longer as students look out for something more and teachers are also eager to provide them with more.
Previously, fitting all the whiteboard, the slide projector, the audio and video playback equipment in a lesson plan called for the teacher to do a thorough and lengthy preparation. To combat this problem, mozaBook offers a tremendous opportunity. All the additional content with which we wish to boost our lesson, for what up until now we had to use various tools at the same time, can now be collected in one place.
Pictures, sounds, presentations etc. prepared in mozaBook can be directly related to the lesson's material. Moreover, each element can be attached to the adequate lesson plan in the course book and can be launched right from there, whenever needed.
