Jewish tradition teens helping

    Moving Traditions inspires people to live fuller lives -- and to work for a better world for all -- by advocating for a more expansive view of gender in Jewish learning and practice. Moving Traditions really focuses on specific gender roles. The organization embraces girls helping girls and boys helping boys, so that each gender can learn to help themselves. Also, you are sometimes more comfortable talking to someone who is the same gender as you.

      This is a Jewish organization taking a whole different role in working with Jewish camps and technology - funny that it came up right with the articles about Jewish camps, education and technology. At the same time, it shares the same core mission as many Jewish camps and camp organizations like FJC.

    Harold Grinspoon has done so much to help the Jewish people. Matching grants of 60 million, wow. PJ Library, the list goes on and on! What I apprecaite about Jcamp 180 and this site is that they work with all Jewish camps to make them more sustainable. This is a powerful model of Jewish unity. This type of program will help ensure Jewish continuity!

    I just used this mind map tool to help me get organized around a brain storming session I had with our membership chair. It was very helpful. I wish people could view it without being a member or signing up but I guess that's how they grow their membership. Here's my link if you want to check it out: http://www.mindomo.com/projects-1901

    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!

    More and more, adult learners are finding the convenience and flexibility of online learning a match for their learning goals and busy lifestyles. Online degree programs, courses, and virtual universities targeting adult learners have proliferated in the past decade.
  • Eliyahu Krigel on 25 Jul 13
     
    I agree with this statement in this article: "Online discussions with fellow students and the instructor are central to the learning experience." In the 5 C's, this would be all about collaboration, connectivity, and communication. If it's and art project, you could through creative expression in there too. If specific questions are asked too, customization would be the next step too. Having our class last night and yesterday afternoon really helped me see the big picture of where we are headed in this summer course. Surfing can be isolating, as can teaching, so the more we can increase communication with real people the better. I just signed up for a free quote from a car insurance deal online and not three minutes later, my cell phone rings with a service agent trying to get my business. How efficient is that...but kind of creepy too!

mixed messages about tech and camp

      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!
  • Eliyahu Krigel on 25 Jul 13
     
    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.

    This is a good way to help students link Jewish history with current happenings! Jewish culture and history are full of fascinating, obscure, and amazing treasures. Some of them have been buried for thousands of years. Others are popping up in Broadway musicals, musty bookstores, and around the Internet as YouTube sensations.

    Collaboration in the Classroom and Over the Internet written by Yvonne Marie Andres email yvonne@globalschoolnet.org Copyright 1995 Why Collaboration is Important Significant global changes are rapidly occurring and political boundaries are becoming less distinct. Certain issues such as the environment, terrorism, and inflation affect all populations of all countries.

    The idea of people who work, "together in teams to accomplish common goals" makes good sense to me because it's utilizing all of our resources. Especially when planning for classes, there's no need to recreate the wheel. There are so many lessons out there. What is important is knowing your goals and then having clear objectives which help you attain your goals.

    Another article about tablets being used in the classroom setting
  • Eliyahu Krigel on 31 Jul 13
     
    Tablets will be the new spiral notebooks, every student will have them. Even in our Synagogue supplemental school, we are moving away from computers with keyboards and more in the direction of having tablets for the students to work on. Hebrew apps continue to get better and I hope one day our Jewish games will be as tech savvy as the best of the X-Box or whatever counsel games. We're on the right path but we are not there quiet yet.
  • Lisa Vendeland on 02 Aug 13
     
    Another benefit of using the tablet is that it isn't as likely to get left at school, like textbooks are now, they weigh less, so much less impact from those backpacks kids lug around with them all day and finally, when kids want to read or work on an assignment they easily can. Not just at a time or place where they are suppose to. I think having a flash card program on a tablet or hand held mobile device can be a great tool for Hebrew teachers to use also for vocabulary. Morah Rickey uses Quizlet for our class. So I agree with EK that we are on the right path in this respect.
