MOODLE
Moodle is a free and open-source software learning management system written in PHP and distributed under the GNU General Public License. Developed on pedagogical principles, Moodle is used for blended learning, distance education, flipped classroom and other e-learning projects in schools, universities, workplaces and other sectors. With customizable management features, it is used to create private websites with online courses for educators and trainers to achieve learning goals, Moodle (acronym for modular object-oriented dynamic learning environment) allows for extending and tailoring learning environments using community sourced plugins.

YOUTUBE
YouTube allows users to upload, view, rate, share, add to favorites, report, comment on videos, and subscribe to other users. It uses WebM, H.264/MPEG-4 AVC, and Adobe Flash Video technology to display a wide variety of user-generated and corporate media videos. Available content includes video clips, TV show clips, music videos, short and documentary films, audio recordings, movie trailers and other content such as video blogging, short original videos, and educational videos. Most of the content on YouTube has been uploaded by individuals, but media corporations including CBS, the BBC, Vevo, and Hulu offer some of their material via YouTube as part of the YouTube partnership program. Unregistered users can only watch videos on the site, while registered users are permitted to upload an unlimited number of videos and add comments to videos.

GOOGLE CALENDAR
Google Calendar is a time-management and scheduling calendar service developed by Google. It became available as a limited beta release on April 13, 2006, and exited the beta stage in July 2009. It is available on the web and as mobile apps for the Android and iOS mobile operating systems.
Google Calendar allows users to create and edit events. Reminders can be enabled for events, with options available for type and time. Event locations can also be added, and other users can be invited to events. Users can enable or disable the visibility of special calendars, including Birthdays, where the app retrieves dates of births from Google contacts and displays birthday cards on a yearly basis, and Holidays, a country-specific calendar that displays dates of special occasions. Over time, Google has added functionality that makes use of machine learning, including "Events from Gmail", where event information from a user's Gmail messages are automatically added to Google Calendar; "Reminders", where users add to-do activities that can be automatically updated with new information; "Smart Suggestions", where the app recommends titles, contacts, and locations when creating events; and "Goals", where users enter information on a specified personal goal, and the app automatically schedules the activity at optimal times.

DROPBOX
Dropbox creates a special folder on the user's computer, the contents of which are then synchronized to Dropbox's servers and to other computers and devices that the user has installed Dropbox on, keeping the same files up-to-date on all devices. Dropbox uses a freemium business model, where users are offered a free account with a set storage size, with paid subscriptions available that offer more capacity and additional features. Dropbox Basic users are given 2 gigabytes of free storage space. Dropbox Plus users are given 1 terabyte of storage space, as well as additional features, including advanced sharing controls, remote wipe, and an optional Extended Version History add-on. Dropbox offers computer apps for Microsoft Windows, Apple macOS, and Linux computers, and mobile apps for iOS, Android, and Windows Phone smartphones and tablets.


HOW ARE THE TOOLS CHOSEN RELEVANT TO THE PROBLEM-SOLVING PLAN?

·         TWO PARALLEL ACTION PLANS.
1.      For the method as it is an inner problem and there are many experienced teachers, could be handled within area meetings, group activities, discussions, presentations and feedback given by colleagues.
2.      For the system, as we are not specialists. Could be arranged two in house trainings: 1. To understand the National System and align it with the school. And, 2. To align CEFR without leaving behind the national expectations.

Goal:
1.      To understand the National System and align it with the school.
2.      To align CEFR without leaving behind the national expectations.

1.      The knowledge management department is the one in charge of tracking stages covered and to report any special needs to the trainers.
2.      Area Meetings are held once a week to keep track of the uses given to the training and the progress is evident.
3.      Academic Committees are held every week to follow the process with the reports given by Area Leaders.
4.      An executive committee is held once a month to report the findings and make necessary adjustments to the trainings.
