Passover Videos - 1 views

  •  
    I use clips from this playlist with my students and families to teach and celebrate Passover. There is a wide variety of types of videos, I use different ones with different ages, but I share this link with the families, many times I hear that they share their favorites at their Seder!

    Nice pesach video. I especially like the bling twinkle in that guys tooth around 3:48. How fun. Very good quality video too. Music helps people instantly connect. It levels the bar and makes the experience something everyone can really get into. I bet after seeing this video, families would be more willing to share their funny stories about their Seder. This kind of set induction helps break the ice and it's a fun way to start or deepend the discussion. I also use these types of videos too and they are very worth while. Thanks for sharing!

Israeli Hi-Tech Jewish Summer Camp - eCamp - YouTube - 1 views

    • Erin Hirsh
       
      I have to say, when I watched this video, what I kept thinking was that - in terms of this being a summer camp - it made perfect sense to me that kids could have fun and learn and explore amazing activities using technology, I had this overwhelming wish that the computers would be in an outside pavilion.
  •  
    Ecamp looks like it would be a lot of fun. Innovators, workshops, pictures under the Google sign, dance pads, and now even time in Greensboro at that amazing facility. Did you check out that comment in the comment section by some guy named Jack? Maybe a self hating Jew but I hate comments like that. So disappointing. I like the idea of an outside pavilion with computers. Touch screen and super fast. That would be really cool Erin.

    A great way to check for student comprehension of content. Just plug in questions and the video will pause so students can process the information

Crap Detection 101 - 1 views

  •  
    Howard Rheingold speaks about how to know if a Web-based source is reliable.
  •  
    I like that term Crap Detection. Literacy is so important. Not everything you read or see on the web is true. Haha. Seriously though, he makes a good point about the site that mentions MLK that is really a white supremecy site. I also feel like I have to be very careful when I send out links to parents to check out. I do this in all my mass emails because it's a good way to continue the discussion and learning. But one time I sent out a youtube video and in the comment section there were some bad words. So important to scroll to the bottom. Another time one of my teachers was using this site to get prayers off of but then realized it was a Jews for Jesus site that was cloaked as a Jewish site. Oye. She was mortified. So important to know how to detect crap! Especially when you can't smell the screen but have to dig a little deeper with your eyes.

    This an amazing tool. I will use this with my students. Thanks for sharing it. It reminded me of paper bag midrash when you give a group a paper bag filled with objects and they tell a Midrash about some prescribed topic Jewishly related but they have to use all the props. Also, one thing my wife and I do is create back and forth poetry. She says a word, then I say a word, and you switch off. A good tool for students too and it's low tech.

Going iPhone-less: Camps trying to ban gadgets while embracing technology | Jewish Tele... - 1 views

      Why does screen time seem diametrically opposed to the values of camp? Is this a false dichotomy? What messages are camps like this communicating to children about technology? I wish we were searching for a way to help kids use screentime in moderation year-round . . . that would seem like a great gift to our children and community to me.

    My children are all attending Camp Ramah in California and they are not allowed to use technology at camp either! (iPhones, cell phones, game bos, etc) They do have camper mail that parents email to the camp and the camp prints out. Their technological offerings are limited. This article does raise an interesting point. When we go camping as a family, we have ano technology rule as well. It is a time to connect as a family without the distractions of the outside world. Perhaps that is the goal of the summer camps as well. Thanks for posting this article!

    I used to work at sleep away camp and I completely understand having the kids disconnect from technology for the summer, while at camp. If there is a serious issue, their counselors and the administration staff have direct contact with the camper's parents. Also, if they have access to a phone and a problem occurs with another camper, they will call home and complain to their parents and say they want to come home. By the time the parent reaches the camp and staff has had a chance to talk to the camper, the issue has been resolved already. This is especially true for middle school students who are constantly having "fights" with their friends. This has happened to me! Kol Ha'Kavod to the camps for not giving in to letting kids have electronics!

    My two kids are at Ramah Outdoor Adventure in CO right now. I miss them so much. One more week. They have a similar policy. Now onto to the topic: I've also worked at camp before (Ramah and Camp Thunderbird) and we also didn't allow screens. The exception that Ramah makes though is for kids who have their bar and bat mitzvah training. They can use their screens for that. And they also told us the kids could have an MP3 player and listen to soft music if they needed to in order to fall asleep. It's very true that the phones would be abused at camp like mentioned above. I think I also could see the need to have like 12 IPads at camp for a special video making elective. It's not that the technology is inherently bad or something to always shy away from. For me, the technology ban is so the kids can connect with nature and not have anything holding them back like mentioned by Yvonne. Every year I lead a b'nai mitzvah camping trip at our Synagogue and I tell parents it's fine with me if the kids bring their screens, we just limit the time they can use them. But if it breaks, it's on them. One time a camper brought an expensive screen with them and it broke and I said oh well, that's what happens in the woods. While on the theme of screens: When my kids at home overstep their lines or are not the nicest to each other or whatever (they are really good kids), they get their screens taken away. We don't say no TV, because then they go to the IPad, or the computer, so we just say no screens period when they overstep. I do think this is an important topic though and but would like to see ways camp can integrate technology more. It's pretty cool I think that I can email my kids every day and look at pictures of them every day on photobucket. Thanks for the conversation!

    Eliyahu, I am not sure how old your kids are, but we find it difficult to take away screens because our two oldest (15 and 17) have many of their school books, assignments, projects, etc on their tablets! It can become tricky. We do limit xbox, game time, movie time, etc, but the absolute no screen time becomes too difficult and therefore takes much more monitoring if they have overstepped the bounds!
  •  
    Good point Yvonne. My kids are 12 and 8. As they get older, you're totally right that it really isn't realistic and hard to monitor. Saying no to every screen, especially if they have homework to do on it. That would be like shooting yourself in the foot and no one likes to do that! And even though screens are limited at camp, at least at ROA, the counselors can go to the staff lounge and log in when they have time at night to do so.
