How Students Develop Online Learning Skills - 1 views

  •  
    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.

    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!

Schools, learning, innovation and student futures - 1 views

    For all of us, learning was an innate part of life. It was something we just did, that was as natural to us as breathing. If not for this innate desire to learn and with it the ability to do so, we would never learn to walk, or speak or interact with others.

Collaborative vs Cooperative Learning - 3 views

    A great slide show differentiating collaborative as a philosophy of learning in which the learners have tremendous control of output etc. Cooperative is defined in terms of a structured approach to learning in which teacher maintains substantial control even as students move through some sort of educational process together.

Wonderful chaos nonlinear learning on the web - 1 views

  •  
    The idea that we can use the web to explore the way we used to explore objects along the path is fascinating! The idea of nonlinear learning reminds me of the concept behind Montessori, Reggio or un-schooling philosophies.

Judaism & Jewish Life - My Jewish Learning - 0 views

  •  
    Explore Jewish Life and Judaism at My Jewish Learning, a trans-denominational website of information about Judaism. I find this website useful for students to look up basic information about many topics. It has been especially useful with our international Chinese students who have no background in Judaism, Jewish history or often, western religion at all.

| Behrman House Publishing - 1 views

      It is so interesting to me that she was in a traditional Jewish camp environment and her impulse to increase the learning quality was to integrate technology - it shows how clearly of a different generation I am. It is also interesting to see how it made sense to Behrman House to bring the game out of that specific environment into those where we might more typically expect technology and Jewish education to intersect. 
  •  
    I sent this out to my school famlies last week when behrman house sent their email out. I love this game. It's an innovative way to combine fun and Jewish values. When I play Jenga with my kids, I like to put Jewish values on each block and when they pick a block or remove a block from the tower, they have to say how the Jewish midah applies to their life or situation. I think it's also interesting to see how Behrman House is amping up their technology. Like I said in a previous post, they also have a new Online Learning Center as well. The new fad of technology is becoming the new norm.

Free Kids' Books for Jewish Families - The PJ Library - 2 views

  •  
    I think PJ Library does a great thing for the youngest generation by sending stories monthly. It starts them out at a young age being invested in Judaism. But it is not always books. Sometimes it is CDs as well! I know my son looks forward to receiving his book each month.

    I also love the PJ Library. What a simple but profound idea! All our kids five and below get the books. My two kids get it too and when they were younger they actually looked forward to the books each month. On their site they actually go up until 8 and below. Age appropriate books and CD's. I think they also sent us a DVD one time. Very multi-media and worthwhile. In Tulsa, it's run through our Federation and it costs them $40 per child per year to sponsor it. Our families love it. One issue though: At our Synagogue we have a full time preschool with 110 kids. Very big for Tulsa and we have a long waiting list. Literally. NAECY accredited and 3 stars. It's a fantastic school. I supervise the preschool director and we have a great relationship. The rub is that of the 110 kids, only a handful are Jewish, like 8 or 9 of them. So we have 100 kids here in the building learning about the universal themes of Judaism all week long, 7:30-5:30, and they are not Jewish. It's not that they are trying to be Jewish. It's just that our program is so great. So when I asked Federation and the PJ Library if they could be included, they said no. Even if the Synagogue paid for it. Boo-hoo. I wish there was an exception that could be made and all kids who go to Jewish schools, whether they are Jewish or non-Jewish, could get the PJ Library. What do you think?
  •  
    I completely agree with you, sort of. I think anyone who attends a Jewish school (Jewish or not) should be able to receive the PJ Library books. However, having worked for a little bit of time for the PJ Library in my area, the reason that they won't allow non-Jews to receive the books even if someone else pays for it, is because only a certain number of books are allocated per town that participates in PJ Library. If non-Jews receives those books, there is a chance that the Jews in your area will not receive the books.
  •  
    I see what you are saying about running out of books and I've heard that same perspective from someone who worked for PJ Library when they were at the ISJL conference. But I think if Harold Grinspoon heard that they were concerned with running out of books, they could solve that problem pretty quickly. I understand that the children who go to our Synagogue preschool are mainly non-Jewish and I'm not saying they should become members or anything. Getting the book would be nice but they are okay with out it. Each fall I check in with my federation executive to see if there should be any updates for the PJ library list. It is so generous and it works!
