The Critical Web Reader (CWR) is designed to enable students, teachers, and schools to focus on effective teaching and productive learning using web information sources.

Learning Never Stops is a site that offers a wide variety of current events articles for students to read. Users can browse for articles by searching one of their eight categories and many articles come with ready made quizzes. What separates Newsela from other sites is the ability to set the articles to varying reading levels.

Yom Kippur tools that could be used with preschoolers and elementary kids. The make a mirror project I think would even be good to use with teens.

I am often newly amazed at the mushrooming capacity of the Web. I found this by following a link on the opening page of Firefox. Their tag-line is create and connect,

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.

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.

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.
