Miriam Berk, education director of Temple Reyim, shared this article with us in January. It raises several questions on how technology will assist, not supplant. the teacher.
really like this article. I like how they showed what you can do with a single computer, a few computers, a class set of computers and 1:1 - well thought out
Captivating animated, video with Darwin, Albert Einstein and Maim.
A must see. Technology and animation at its best! Compelling questions, beautifully done response integrating God, creation and science.

Discussions of effective, quality Jewish education are not complete without attention paid to the medium through which it is designed and delivered. Increasingly, this involves new technologies, including computers, telecommunications, video, webcasting, audio files, and more. It is therefore incumbent on the Jewish educational community to encourage the appropriate use of new technologies and multiple media in the creation, delivery, and support of Jewish learning.
A blog sharing news about this foundation's grants (and related topics) focused on new and innovative ways to apply technology to enhancing the teaching of Judaic studies in day schools.
A nonprofit education research and development center in Israel focused on content development, technology and pedagogy, professional development, and evaluation, coupled with guiding values of professionalism, innovation, social responsibility and a service oriented outlook. "The major comprehensive resource for ICT based educational materials and innovation in the State of Israel."
I came across this list of technology resources almost by accident but found that it added to the apps and resources that we have been exploring. I thought that it was helpful to have them categorized and organized in a way that grouped together applications based on their function, much like we have discussed in our class sessions. This list addresses the level of technology our students are experiencing in their daily lives and allows Jewish Educators to better implement technology in the classroom.
