From the United States Holocaust Memorial Museum in Washington DC. Here are some great points about why educators should teach this topic in their classrooms.

This is a successful way to teach Hebrew from the Union for Reform Judaism.

This is one of my all time favorite websites for Jewish Education. There iisn't a single category that I don't use! I also subscribe to the weekly Parsha for kids on am on their email list. The Hebrew word of the day would be great to use in a day school program.

I have used many of Torah Tots.com 's content at home with DD. She likes the bright graphics and I find the content reliable and useful as well

This is a website I have recommended to interfaith families that I have in my Practice. So many time when a baby enters into a marriage I become a resource for the "how to's" : How do we have a naming, what is a Bris, how do we name him/her appropriately ? I know it sounds crazy but as an OB/GYN Dr. I do A LOT of Jewish Teaching!

Fits into my summer research topic for Gratz 2013

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.
