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.
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.

This year’s DIDACTA Stuttgart was only the second time Mozaik Educaton exhibited at this expo, but we already felt at home. DIDACTA is somewhat different from other annual educational fairs because it is hosted in rotation by three German cities: Cologne, Stuttgart and Hannover, which makes it even more exciting to attend.
We are very proud of our own Eszter Hosszu for presenting at our partner RICOH Germany’s stand. Not only did she give an amazing presentation on Darwin’s theory of evolution but also showcased our redesigned and improved second generation classwork function. Using RICOH devices, Eszter was sending exercises to the “students”. Those pretend students enthusiastically solved the exercises and sent them back to the teacher device.
We are already looking forward to next year’s DIDACTA Fair that will take place in Hannover. In the meantime, if you love mozaBook and trade shows as much as we do, please check out our exhibition timetable and drop us a line at office@mozaweb.com to arrange a meeting at one of them.

This January, Mozaik Education was delighted to host a group of teachers from Tallinna Reaalkool. Tallinna Reaalkool, or Tallinn Secondary School of Science as it is called in English, is one of the oldest schools in Tallinn. It was established in 1881 and is located very close to the old city of Tallinn. The principal of the School, Mrs. Ene Saar, is striving to introduce new teaching methods within the school and aims to provide her teachers with opportunities to have access to the best educational events, products and ideas from all over the world. We first met Mrs. Saar at the BETT show in 2016 and are very delighted that our relations with Tallinna Reaalkool came such a long way. We hope to see mozaBook used in many Estonian schools in the near future and are sure that Tallinna Reaalkool will be our partner in this journey.
Seven teachers from Tallinna Reaalkool and a Professor of Geography from the University of Tartu were trained in mozaBook wizardry for 5 full days and, we must admit, the results were impressive! All the trainees took a lot of interest in the material, worked hard and learned a lot during the training. It is always very interesting and fulfilling to work with practicing teachers: they ask the best questions, create the most interesting exercises, and give the best feedback. This time was no exception; among other things, teachers from Tallinna Reaalkool developed a complex Math presentation integrated with PDF workbooks and a colourful animated presentation for primary school pupils.
However, it was not all work for our guests, they also managed to fit in some fun activities. After long days at our training centre, they usually enthusiastically headed towards one of the city sights. They visited the Ferenc Móra Museum, Anna Bath, Szegedi Dom and the Synagogue, which is the 4th largest in the world. It was nice to see people take so much interest in Mozaik’s home town and happily pace its streets in the cold Winter weather.
If you would like to have an experience similar to that of Tallinna Reaalkool’s teachers, please email us at office@mozaweb.com.

New year, new BETT show. This is one of Mozaik’s most important credos. As a long-time attendee, London is always calling us in January to take part in one of the largest educational expos in the world. How could we possibly resist?! BETT provides the perfect opportunity to network, meet and catch up with partners, and present mozaBook to Ministries, publishers, and potential distributor partners as well as our most important audience: teachers.
We are proud to say educators from all over the world visited our stand this year; we met teachers from the United Arab Emirates to Finland. We exchanged business cards with representatives of Chinese, Mexican, Lithuanian, and Italian companies. The show garners so much international attention, we barely met anybody from the UK! The funniest example of this was undoubtedly when a Hungarian delegation of teachers told us how proud they were to find our products showcased all the way in London.
Thankfully, our stand was always buzzing with people and excitement, and was probably one of the busiest spots in the entire hall. We even had guided tours that had us on their radar - Mozaik’s booth was often a scheduled stop as some larger groups made their way across the exhibition’s floor. It is undeniable that the bilingual mode of our 3Ds was the star of the show. Along with our tools and games, which even made a few adults weak in the knees, our interactive content was definitely one of the unique points of BETT. However, our stand was not the only place to meet Mozaik: a few of our partners, like Samsung, were also showing mozaBook on their displays.
We are certain our participation in this year’s event will translate into further opportunities and benefits all around. By making a small change with mozaBook in one classroom, we can gradually place education where it truly belongs: the 21st century. Having said that, the BETT show continues to be the number one platform for innovators in the field, so the children of the future can become the pioneers they deserve to be.
We can hardly wait for next year’s amazing experience!

It’s the most wonderful time of the year, which is why Mozaik has dressed its 3Ds accordingly. This holiday season, even our awesome educational content is feeling festive. We have winter-appropriate frost and icicles as decoration, which immediately makes you feel the need to get your fuzzy mittens out. You might even spot Santa Claus, and this time around, he’s giving cool gifts to all kids, whether naughty or nice.
So just wrap up in a blanket, grab some hot chocolate and get into the holiday spirit with us! Who needs Christmas movies when you have mozaWeb?
From all of us here at Mozaik Education, have an amazing Christmas and a very happy New Year!
