The Frankfurt Book Fair, which has traditions spanning more than 500, is the biggest book fair in the world and is held every year. However, due to the pandemic, it was canceled last year. This was a symbol of a huge blow not only for business but more importantly for social relationships as well. All of us were very glad that this year’s book fair was held because we finally could get to meet one another again and to get to know in person those that we have been in contact with during the pandemic.
The pandemic is still with us unfortunately, but social responsibility and regulations have proven effective and this is a small price to pay for all the advantages the book fair had to offer. For the first 3 days we had met other companies from all around the world, and as always it was great to finally have meetings and discussions in person. From time to time we could even grab a cup of coffee together. We happily recognized that despite the situation a lot of people attended the fair.
Especially during the last two days where all the people were allowed in to browse through the booths. We received huge help from the Mittelpunktgrundschule in the form of a couple of teachers. It was mesmerizing both for us and the audience to witness actual teachers use our solutions. We are really grateful to them for these spectacular presentations that we highly recommend a previous blog post if you are interested in the school’s experience with our digital solutions.
All in all, Frankfurt has shown us that being present and socializing with other people is an unexpectedly important aspect of our life, even if we have access to all the modern communication solutions. And once more a shout-out to the Mitterpunktgrundschule from Haiger for participating together with us.
Read the practical experiences of using mozaBook from Małgorzata Wojton from King Stefan Batory Primary School No. 5 in Łódź below:
At Batory Primary School No. 5 in Łódź, we have been using mozaBook software and the mozaWeb platform since November 2016. The system has been installed on all school interactive whiteboards, providing our teachers with an extensive database of educational materials on all school subjects.
The software gives us an opportunity to break teaching routine and enrich our lessons with spectacular interactive content. It allows us to create our own materials for each class, depending on the students’ needs. It helps to develop learning interests among talented students, and supports our work with students who have learning difficulties.
In the school year of 2020/2021, we managed to create a lot of new pages of our digital exercise books from subjects such as: Polish, English, History, Biology or Integrated Teaching. During Science classes, we often exploit the media library, graphs, 3D scenes, educational videos, as well as skill-development applications or virtual laboratories. We use the in-built test editor and pre-defined question templates. Our students, in their free time or during extra classes, have fun with applications such as "Othello" or "Connect 4", they create Maths and Physics games, build circuits, weigh, measure, use a microscope or a motion simulator. Hall of fame, time machine or the Euklides tool are also very popular and practical.
A number of prepared exercise books from the Polish language subject support the study of subsequent literary periods and the books from the school reading list. An extensive Biology exercise book, divided into three levels, is a constant element of numerous lessons, especially in the fields of Anatomy, Physiology and Genetics. In History classes, mozaBook takes the students to different ages, brings various historical events closer to children and helps to explore discussed topics.
Extensive software resources work well and are very effective during Integrated Teaching classes. Tools such as Riddles, Puzzle, Logical Blocks, Tangrams, and the possibility to interact with the 3D models arouse amazement and enthusiasm among the youngest. Every child wants to become the NumberHero or the King of the Chessboard!
The program is perfect for activities aimed at developing and equalizing educational opportunities, during substitutions, but most of all, during distance learning. In addition to mozaBook software, we find the resources available on mozaWeb very useful. 
We also exploit digital books offered by Mozaik Education and public exercise books of other teachers, we share our own publications as well. Throughout the school year, we implemented a nationwide project called "Share a smile" which was under the honorary patronage of the Minister of Education. The project concerned the prevention of tooth decay among school-age children. In order to organize and conduct the necessary lessons, we used materials related to the topic of the project available in mozaBook, which was emphasized in many reports.
In March, all over Poland, we celebrated "Days of new technologies in education". Our school prepared classes with the use of mozaBook and a crossword generator called "Masters of the skies - birds". We used all available bird-related resources. Children tried to recognize different species of birds and their songs, and watched the migrations of birds. The lessons aroused great interest and inspired children to become interested in ornithology. The classes included bird species recognition competitions and a contest for the most interesting crossword puzzle. 
In May 2021, via the Teams application, our school prepared an online training devoted to teaching methods. The lecture was held at the Teacher Improvement Center and Practical Training for Teachers. As the audience was mostly in-service and future teachers, it was an opportunity to present mozaBook to a number of potential users. At the end of the lecture, we were asked to organize more of such online meetings presenting the software and our experience in using it. The potential of the software made a huge impression on the viewers, incomparable with any other ICT tool.
In the school year of 2020/2021, our school teachers wrote an article about our experiences in working with mozaBook for the nationwide educational magazine called "School Director". In the article, we presented the platform's resources and described good practices of how to make use of the materials during lessons. The article states clearly that mozaBook cannot be replaced with anything else, and the lessons conducted with the use of the software give better results of our students' work, which was reflected in the school diagnosis. 
The available tools, interactive and thematically cataloged add-ons have no competition in the accessible Internet resources. No applications or online materials are comparable, in our opinion, to what your digital software offers. Our students, having at their disposal a number of ICT applications, invariably choose lessons based on mozaBook.
We cannot imagine working without mozaBook, thanks to which, our school stands out from other schools by promoting non-standard ICT solutions in education.
Teachers were so satisfied and confident with the software that they even wrote an article about it in the national educational magazine Dyrektor Szkoły. You can access it through this link.
We are delighted to announce that Mozaik and Vodafone continue to have a cooperation that helps digital education with educational software. The two companies have been working together since March 2020 to support students and teachers with the switch to digital education. During last spring and summer, Mozaik has made its media library and textbooks free of charge, and Vodafone provided the opportunity for users to use these without consuming their mobile data. Besides this, Mozaik and Vodafone launched their Digital Education Packages in October 2020. The packages are giving access for a small monthly fee for students of elementary and high schools to interactive educational content and books. Both of these projects had the intention of helping students and teachers alike with home learning and distance learning.
In sequence to the aforementioned two projects, Mozaik and Vodafone have a new one that aims to further aid 45 sub-regional schools included in Vodafone’s Digital School Program, and their 1400 teachers with free mozaBook Classroom licences until the end of the school year, and also with 5 freely selectable digital textbooks. Thanks to the program, in these schools that are teaching disadvantaged children, 13.000 students can experience quality education whether in class or through distance learning free of charge.
The Vodafone Foundation and Mozaik joined forces to secure the existence of digital education in sub-regions, where home and distance-learning is difficult to be established. “The shift to distance learning and learning at home last year has been an unprecedented challenge for teachers, parents and students. All this meant even bigger difficulties for schools operating in sub-regions. The Vodafone Foundation and Mozaik would like to help them with the free mozaBook access, because one of our most important tenet is that every child deserves a quality education, and we are making every possible effort to support them” - said Emőke Flakstad, secretary-general of Vodafone Hungary Foundation.
mozaBook was optimized for interactive boards and PCs and its biggest advantage is that it can be used both in class and at home. The systems’ digitized books are enriched with 3D scenes, videos, tasks and thematic tools. Besides mozaBook, Mozaik and the Vodafone Foundation are offering any 5 of these books for the teachers free of charge. With this, more than 13.000 disadvantaged students can experience the opportunities presented by quality digital education.
“Unfortunately the situation of teachers and students hasn’t become easier this school year either, most of them are still facing the challenges of efficient participation in digital education. It is of utmost importance to emphasize that the question is not just what we teach, but how we pass this knowledge on to the future generations.” - said Dr. Ildikó Török, business-development director of Mozaik Education.
Mozaik is proud to announce its very own Chromium-based web browser called mozaWeb Browser. It was designed and optimized to provide the best user experience while using our interactive content on mozaWeb.
It provides the fastest and smoothest experience for our cloud-based educational solutions. 3D scenes open lightning-fast, as it already has our mozaik3D Player plug-in built-in. Generally, it provides a hassle-free user-experience both for students and teachers.
mozaWeb Browser is unique in the sense that it supports both the technology of the past and the future. The Adobe Flash Player plug-in is still supported and preinstalled in the browser itself to facilitate the use of our tools and games so that you do not have to worry about external installation and permissions.
Our mozaWeb Browser is based on the open-source Chromium which actually makes it a fully functioning Google Chrome. It has an interface that is already familiar for the users, therefore securing a smooth experience for them. It is automatically updated together with Google Chrome which means it is just as safe. The browser can be installed on every Windows-based PC and notebook.
It can be used on any windows-based PC and notebook.

Örömmel jelentjük be, hogy a Mozaik Kiadó és a Vodafone Alapítvány továbbra is közös erőfeszítéseket tesz, hogy segítse a digitális oktatás, ezúttal ingyenes oktatási szoftverrel. A két cég 2020 március óta dolgozik együtt aktívan, hogy támogatást nyújtson mind a tanároknak, mind a diákoknak, a digitális oktatásra való átállásban. A tavalyi tavasz és nyár során a Mozaik ingyenesen hozzáférhetővé tette a médiatárát és könyveit, amelyeket a Vodafone jóvoltából pedig az adatforgalom használata nélkül lehetett igénybe venni. Ezen kívül 2020 októberében a Vodafone és a Mozaik elindította a Digitális Oktatás Csomagok forgalmazását. Ezek a csomagok egy kisebb havidíj ellenében interaktív oktatási tartalmakhoz és könyvekhez biztosítanak hozzáférést általános- és középiskolai diákok számára.
Az említett két projekt folytatásaként a Mozaik Kiadó és a Vodafone Alapítvány ismét összefogott azzal a céllal, hogy a digitális tananyagok kistérségi iskolákba is eljussanak, és több mint 1400 tanárnak biztosítsanak ingyenes hozzáférést a Mozaik Kiadó oktatási szoftveréhez, a mozaBookhoz. A program a mozaBook mellett 5 darab szabadon választható könyvet is térítésmentesen kínál a tanárok számára. Az együttműködésnek köszönhetően a Vodafone Alapítvány Digitális Iskola Programjában résztvevő, mintegy 45 kistérségi iskola 13.000 rászoruló diákja tapasztalhatja meg a minőségi digitális oktatást, legyen szó otthoni tanulásról, vagy tantermi környezetről.
A Vodafone Alapítvány és a Mozaik Kiadó közös igyekezete, hogy a kistérségekben, ahol jellemzően nagyobb nehézségekkel küzdenek az e-oktatás területén, biztosítsák a megfelelő digitális oktatás létrejöttét. „A tavalyi évben a távoktatásra való átállás és az otthoni tanulás korábban nem tapasztalt kihívások elé állította a pedagógusokat, a szülőket és a diákokat. Mindez még nagyobb nehézségeket jelentett a kistérségekben működő iskolákban. A Vodafone Alapítvány és a Mozaik Kiadó nekik szeretne segítséget nyújtani az ingyenes mozaBook hozzáféréssel, hiszen egyik legfontosabb alapelvünk, hogy a minőségi oktatás minden gyereknek jár, ezt pedig minden tőlünk telhető módon igyekszünk támogatni, segíteni.” – mondta el Flakstad Emőke, a Vodafone Magyarország Alapítvány főtitkára.
Az interaktív táblára és tanári számítógépre optimalizált mozaBook oktatási szoftver nagy előnye, hogy egyaránt alkalmazható tantermi és otthoni környezetben. A rendszer digitális könyveit interaktívan használható 3D-modellek, videók, feladatok és tematikus eszközök teszik érdekesebbé. A Mozaik Kiadó és a Vodafone Alapítvány projektje a mozaBook hozzáférés mellett 5 darab szabadon választható digitális könyvet is ingyenes ad a tanárok kezébe.
„A tanárok és a diákok helyzete sajnos az idei tanévben sem lett könnyebb, hiszen sokukat továbbra is kihívások elé állít a digitális oktatásban való hatékony részvétel. Nagyon fontos kiemelni, hogy nem csupán az a kérdés mit tanítsunk, hanem legalább ilyen fontos az is, hogy hogyan és milyen ismereteket közvetítünk a felnövekvő nemzedékek számára.” – mondta el Dr. Török Ildikó, a Mozaik Kiadó üzletfejlesztésért felelős igazgatója.
A Vodafone Alapítvány és a Mozaik Kiadó kedvezménye 6 hónapon át, egészen a 2020/2021-es tanév végéig vehető igénybe a Digitális Iskola Programban résztvevő tanárok számára.
We are happy to announce that Mozaik Education’s new Digital Education Packages, created in the framework of a partnership with Vodafone, are available for Vodafone customers from 20 October 2020. These unique packages aim to improve access to immersive digital content for primary and secondary school students as well as to develop students’ digital skills. 
The common goal of Vodafone Hungary and Mozaik Education is to fight against social inequalities by providing access to high-quality educational content for the next generation and improving their digital skills using interactive learning content.
As part of the new Digital Education Packages, users can get unlimited access to mozaWeb, Mozaik Education’s digital educational platform, which contains more than 1200 interactive 3D scenes, 1200 videos, 120 subject-related tools and games, 780 audios, 5300 images as well as numerous exercises and worksheets to support education and learning in the digital space. Also, these packages include digital textbooks as well (1 or 5 freely chosen, primary or secondary school textbooks), which, together with the interactive content, help to process new knowledge and to deepen and practice the acquired knowledge.
“High-quality education should be available for every child. This was our basic idea, when back in spring, due to the crisis caused by the coronavirus, we decided to offer Mozaik Education’s digital educational content without having to use any data from the plan. This remained our main focus when we created the two new Digital Education Packages as, for only the price of a meal, we can provide our clients with high-quality, exciting digital educational content every month.” said Balázs Révész, Vodafone Hungary’s Consumer Business Unit Director. One of the advantages of the new packages is that customers can purchase them without having to sign a fixed-term plan, this way, customers can buy this service only for a month, such as when preparing for a final test or aiming to improve marks at the end of the school year.
"Education today faces challenges worldwide. The question today is not only what to teach; it is just as important to decide how and in what form we should pass on knowledge to future generations. During the 30 years of Mozaik's existence, we have been committed to widely available, innovative, and high-quality education. This spring, we decided to make our digital content andour popular and well-tried textbooks available for hundreds of thousands of Hungarian students free of charge. Thanks to Vodafone, the provider's customers could enjoy this content with free data usage. The newly introduced Digital Education Packages aim to support those who want help to process the study materials more easily and in a more engaging way,” said Dr. Ildikó Török, Business Development Director at MOZAIK Education.
The Digital Education Package Basic, available for a monthly fee of HUF 750, provides unlimited access to Mozaik Education's cloud-based, integrated education system and includes free access to one selected textbook. The Digital Education Package Extra, available for a monthly fee of HUF 2,490, also provides unlimited access to the learning material available on mozaWeb and, in addition, students can choose five digital textbooks offered for their school grade. These interactive textbooks help make learning more exciting, faster, and more lasting; they are recommended for parents and students who want to make learning at home an entertaining experience. Customers can activate for any Vodafone monthly plan in the MyVodafone application or via online or telephone customer service. It can also be added to newly purchased fixed-term plans in the Vodafone webshop and stores. The service can also be ordered by parents; students do not need to have a fixed-term Vodafone plan.
