SETT stands for Scandinavian Education Technology Transformation and is Scandinavia's largest conference and trade fair for modern and innovative learning. Since its start in Stockholm in 2012, SETT has had formidable growth and success. In 2022, SETT had just over 7,000 visits to the Kista Fair Center. SETT aims to create an arena to highlight the main things that happen in a school in both digital and other tools for learning and development.

This year was the first time we visited SETT, as more and more schools and prospective partners reached out to our sales team for cooperation. We started to work together with the City of Stockholm Department of Education in 2021 and through this collaboration mozaBook got approved and GDPR certified in the region and became one of the suggested digital learning resources of the city.

We co-developed an info page on the website of the City of Stockholm: https://dl.stockholm.se/dl?id=kb_article_view&sys_kb_id=f6a646fa1bc1c1106459635ee54bcb85. And we are working with native companies to offer local sales, training and support.
Mozaik Education is looking forward to the new opportunities and prospects on the Scandinavian market.

What is PON?
The Programma Operativo Nazionale (PON) is an EU-funded investment program aimed at strengthening the Italian education system and promoting equitable access to high-quality education across the country.
Innovation represents a key-importance issue regarding the development of education, hence, within the frames of the PON Digital Board project, a significant amount of the funding (455 million euro) was allocated to exclusively support the digitalization of classrooms and secretariats.
The program’s main objectives include the provision of digital equipment for schools (e.g. interactive displays, computers and other digital devices). By this, contributing to the digital transformation of the educational institutions and teaching. Furthermore, PON intends to bolster the process of dematerialization and the digitization of administration of schools as well as to ensure the appropriate and effective adaptation of the tools provided.
The application for the Digital Board tender was open from 8 September 2021 to 1 October 2021. After all, the expenditure commitment deadline came to an end on 31 March 2022. Subsequently, by 31 December 2022, all interventions must be completed, tested, and concluded.
In terms of the cooperation with our Italian distributor partners, with each board purchased through the PON tender, they provide mozaBook Classroom licence and Mozaik Teacher licence to the end-users.
What is mozaBook Classroom /Teacher?
The mozaBook Classroom is a device-based licence that is suitable for interactive boards and in-class applications, therefore it is particularly recommended for schools. This licence type can be used by multiple teachers and students on the same board independently. Moreover, it enables access to all interactive content (3Ds, educational videos, digital lessons).
Mozaik Teacher on the other hand is a user-based licence type. This means that it is linked to one teacher, who can use mozaBook and mozaWeb (our web-based educational platform) on their own device. Similarly, to the mozaBook Classroom, users have unlimited access to all digital content with the Mozaik Teacher licence as well.
If you wish to discover more information about our licence types, check out our ongoing offers here https://www.mozaweb.com/en/shop.php?cmd=software_details&type=mozabook

Digital books, exercise books, interactive worksheets, as well as versatile illustrations, animations and numerous presentation effects offered by the software expand teachers’ teaching tools.
Eye-catching interactive items and built-in skill-developing, illustrative and experimental applications arouse students’ interest and help to acquire knowledge.
The mozaBook software, built-in applications, educational videos, interactive 3D scenes and their narrations are currently available in many languages, the number of which is constantly expanding.
Mozaik Education at MHS:
The world-wide rapid changes in the technical, economic, cultural, social, and scientific realms have led to the emergence of new innovations. We at MHS always believe in the effective role of technology and innovation to make learning effective, easy and creative. We also comprehend that technology will not replace great teachers but technology in the hands of great teachers can be transformational. MHS is the only school in Rajasthan which uses amazing educational presentation software. It helps in validating the theoretical knowledge of the young minds. There are more than 1200 interactive 3D scenes, hundreds of educational videos and numerous audio files and worksheets that help arouse students’ interest.

The 3D animations give root level understanding of the concepts especially in subjects such as Geography, Biology, Chemistry, Physics etc. apart from the 3D animations and videos students are also provided with interactive worksheets, digital books etc. This wonderful software helps the students to understand the topics very well such as nervous system, the functioning of heart, volcanic eruption, climatology, solar system and many more. This helps all types of learners for the better understanding of the topic /concept.
Each and every class room at MHS is equipped with smart boards and other necessary tools required for the smooth functioning of the Mozaik.

What do we like most about mozabook?
MHS and their students all love mozaBook. But what everyone likes most about mozabook is that it is very easy to use and has useful content. Besides, we’re sharing other mozaBook things below that MHS students and their teachers love most.
- Electronic version of textbooks
- 3D scenes
- Teachers can create their own test assignments (including images, videos, and audio files)
- Students can do their digital homework from the comfort of home via mozaWeb.
- Animated exercise books
- Freehand drawings and complex illustrations.
That’s why we like mozaBook very much and will also recommend this informative and interactive platform to all.
Schelderwald-Schule Oberscheld, Germany: Our first-year experience with mozaBook
Partner school report
In our first year of using mozaBook, two of our classrooms were equipped with digital blackboards. Two of our teachers worked with it extensively, while many others were educated on how to use it and were able to try it out for themselves.
Overall, our experience with mozaBook has been very positive. The interface is intuitive, the functions are useful and it enhances teaching with a digital blackboard in many ways.
We especially appreciate and work with the following features:
- The basic blackboard features with different pens, rulers, etc: The basic blackboard is very functional. It allows for dynamic teaching within the classroom. The fading pen is especially appreciated among our colleagues, along with the different writing backgrounds and fonts for primary schools.
- Our favorites are the 3D-models. The selection is large and suited for primary school topics. The functions work well. The children are mesmerized by the models which retain their attention very well. They gained a better understanding of the different topics and were more engaged during the lessons we worked with the 3D-models.
- We appreciate the direct internet pathways that allow for videos and images to be inserted into presentations.
- We are able to use many of the videos provided by mozaBook. Much like the 3D- models, they provide the students with a fuller understanding of the matter while retaining and increasing their interest.
- Since German school book publishers aren’t cooperating with mozaBook as of yet, the option to import PDFs has been especially useful.
In our first year of using the mozaBook software, we have found a few aspects we would like to mention for constructive feedback:
- We are in the process of buying tablets for our classrooms. This will allow us to involve children more in the lesson and have an interactive environment. As we started to work with different test exercise types (matching, gap filling) we realized that we cannot engage the whole class at once without student devices, but they work perfectly as homework assignments and grading, feedback management is also easy to use. Right now we use mozaBook exclusively on the blackboard and when we do one of the exercises in class, just one or two kids can do the exercise.
- We would appreciate closer cooperation with German school book publishers, which would make our work much easier and expand our possibilities in the classroom.
Overall, our experience in working with mozaBook has been very positive and we hope to
continue to work together in using and advancing the program. We appreciate the webinars that continue to educate us on the features of the platform as well as the improvements of the Media library and enjoy learning more about them. We also appreciate the access to mozaBook that we received when attending one of the teacher-webinars and are gladly continuing to use mozaBook in our classrooms.

International teacher webinars - United Kingdom and Germany
The key to our constant improvement is working with teachers and seeing how they use our platform in the classroom and outside of the classroom. Therefore, working with Glenn Carter from the United Kingdom and Lukas Hoeser from Germany were some of our most exciting projects, where, on one hand, we could learn a lot from them about user experience as well as together we could show other teachers the potential of mozaBook and mozaWeb straight from a colleague’s perspective.
In this blogpost we share the story of Glenn and Lukas. If you would like to become a presenter for any of our upcoming teacher webinars, please write to office@mozaweb.com.
Glenn Carter (UK)
The idea of inviting a teacher to hold a webinar has been on our to-do list for long, but when we met Glenn in person and saw his enthusiastic didactic skills that he utilizes in activating a lot of teachers on the History Rocks Facebook page and Youtube Channel, we knew we have to start the program with him. Glenn has been using mozaBook for long and had a huge list of material he could present as an example lesson. Being a history and geography teacher we settled on showing a lesson plan including the achievements of the Ancient Egyptians and countries of Europe.
The event was a huge success and each participant received a 3 month demo-card while 3 lucky teachers received a 1 year code.
Please take a look at the webinar here:
Lukas Hoeser (DE)
Lukas is one of the most talented teachers at our partner school, Mittelpunktgrundschule - Haiger.
He is teaching German language, maths, physical education and environmental knowledge. Lukas had participated in our one week training in Szeged, Hungary where he became an expert user of mozaBook. Throughout the years he used mozaBook in creating spectacular presentations, games and tests as well as he trained many of his colleagues to make Mittelpunktgrundschule - Haiger a great representation of the schools of the present and future, using Mozaik Education’s products.
Introduction by Lukas:

Supporting educators, educational institutions as well as commercial and national organizations in facilitating digital transformation and raising the quality of education has been an integral part of Mozaik Education’s mission, regardless of geographical location. Furthermore, it’s always a pleasure and an honour to be part of any initiative that is determined to recognize excellence in the digital age. So when Eduminds Consulting, one of our official distributor partners from the Arabic region demonstrated the idea of co-sponsoring a competition of young talents, we felt engaged instantly.
The National Competition for Young Entrepreneurship is the largest regional competition in the field of entrepreneurship and innovation dedicated to young people, held annually by Entro Gate since 2019 in cooperation with the Ministry of Education and a number of successful partners in the Arab world. The main aim is to provide students with entrepreneurship and innovation skills and to enhance their sense of social responsibility at the same time. Enabling them to come up with pioneering ideas and teaching them how to plan and turn these ideas into projects that benefit their communities, then incubate, direct and support the winning projects to completion and implementation.
In order to support this fantastic initiative and to incentivise those educators that guide the young talents on their journey from the background, Mozaik Education and Eduminds Consulting offered Mozaik Teacher licenses for all educators of the qualified teams and finalists in the competition. Together with Eduminds we believe that - beyond the incentive - these admirable teachers will make a very good use of their mozaBook and mozaWeb access to create digital exercise books and lesson plans, make their lectures even more engaging for students with interactive worksheets as well as with the use of the extensive Mozaik Media library’s various 3D scenes, animations and interactive teaching and assessment tools.
We can’t wait to see the award-winning projects materialize and hope to see this inspiring initiative continue to let talented youngsters and their impassioned teachers make their dream projects come true.
