    March 10, 2013 | Leave a Comment Here is an interesting tool. Google Docs Story Builder is basically a short story telling tool with a video in a very exciting way. Without any registration you can start creating your story. Go to docsstorybuilder.appspot.com and click on Get Started.

    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.

Thinking Outside Box - Jewish Education - 0 views

    Great presentation about mobile learning. Hebrew school like camp, Skype classes.

    He uses an image of a young/old woman on one of his slides. I use this same image (along with some others) in the first few days of class to talk about perception and acceptance of others' viewpoints. For me, it is a matter of figuring out how to change within the framework of my school. I only have so much flexibility in what I am allowed to do. I can use tools and technology, but have to seek approval for any new technology tool (online forums, social networking sites, etc.). My school is talking about having students sign up for Judaic Studies courses online to broaden their choices of topics. I am not sure what impact this will have on the teachers on campus, as these students would then not need to be in a physical class for their Judaica requirement. I think it is important that we look at alternatives for Jewish Education, we don't lose our human resources on site.

Word Clouds in Education: Turn a toy into a tool - 0 views

  •  
    Using Word Clouds are a great way to initially summarize something you are about to teach in class. After doing the reading, have the students summarize on their own. This gives many different ways of how to use a Word Cloud in the curriculum.
  •  
    I have used word clouds (digitally made and hand-made on paper!) for students to show their understanding of different concepts. For a unit where students created their own tzedakah organization, they had to create a word cloud for their organization.

9 Wrong And 8 Right Ways Students Should Use Technology - 0 views

  •  
    Technology is a tool. It's not a learning outcome. Too often do we get distracted by all the activities and action we can perform with an iPad or some other device. We can post to Edmodo! Make a Prezi! Post to Facebook! All exciting things, to be sure.

    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

'Start-up nation' Israel to help Jewish day schools go from textbooks to tablets? - 1 views

  •  
    Another article about tablets being used in the classroom setting
  •  
    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.
  •  
    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.
