Purim web sites (compilation)

This is useful if you need to fill in a document (letter, newsletter, flyer) with text just to see how it will look. I used this a lot when I worked in desktop publishing. Lorem Ipsum is simply dummy text of the printing and typesetting industry. Lorem Ipsum has been the industry's standard dummy text ever since the 1500s, when an unknown printer took a galley of type and scrambled it to make a type specimen book.

Storyboard That is a cutting edge Web 2.0 tool for rapidly creating amazing storyboards, no art skills needed. Great for business meetings and in the classroom for students to express their creativity. LL Note: If you want to print out the free version storyboard, it puts a big digital watermark across your pictures. I found a work-around for that: take a screen shot, then edit that picture as you need to. Short term, for small projects, it's workable. If I were going to use this on a regular basis, I'd ask my school to get us a subscription. It calls itself a storyboard program, but it really works much more like a comic strip. But it could be very useful for brainstorming in class. You can make 3 free storyboards a week, which might be enough for many of us. It's really easy to use, and you can customize some of the features with your choice of color.

A place for Jewish educators to discuss issues and share resources and approaches related to teaching Hebrew in Jewish supplementary education.

Joan, what are the features of the Hebrew Project-(what's on the web site) and-how might this help you in your teaching?

There was a great deal of information on the website, but a few specific things from the reading struck me. One is to devote more "time on task" to the Hebrew reading and allow students more time to decode, read to one another, and read to the group. Also, with teaching siddur based Hebrew, students need the opportunity to practice it in real settings, such as an in class tefillah service. Also, it is important for students to practice at home with parents. So, I might provide transliteration of prayers or have parents use an on line program for the prayers, assuming they are not Hebrew readers.
