Micki+Zaritsky



Hi, I'm Micki, from Netanya, Israel (originally from Los Angeles)

My background is in curriculum development and computer-based training (for the Israel Air Force) A few years back (after getting out of the military), I started teaching EFL in Israeli secondary schools but couldn't get rid of the computer "bug".

I've tried to incorporate computers into my English classes - some things more successful than others. I love trying out new things with my students (and most of my students are willing to put up with my crazy experiments)

This past summer, I left teaching and am now working for a private non-profit company creating computerized content for the Israeli school system. (the company is non-profit; I get paid...)

Here are a few ideas of mine: Class WIKI (the fire) - this was a last minute project - I'd love to continue it with another class [|Class website] - This was for a very weak EFL 10th grade class. I tried to make a site for every class. [|ETAI talk] - We have to remember that most teachers are not yet comfortable with using computers. This was to introduce "newbies" to computer-based performance tasks I'd love your comments!
