Correspondents Wanted

Saturday, June 9th, 2007

Educators in Jewish settings who are not able to attend NECC have asked to participate in the conference virtually. If you are attending the conference and would like to share your notes and reflections on sessions with others through posts on this blog, please contact jlearn2.0.

In addition, if you would like to contribute an article or other type of posting to jlearn2.0, we welcome your ideas!

Please Join Us: Jewish Educators Network at NECC

Thursday, June 7th, 2007

The Jewish Educators Network will meet at NECC in Atlanta on Monday, June 25, 5:30-6:30pm, Room B201. Please join us for an opportunity to network and share. The session is open to anyone interested in the integration of technology in Jewish learning settings, including general and Judaic subjects.

Please note that the meeting time overlaps with the concurrent Birds of a Feather sessions, which run from 4:45-6:30pm. This will give those who wish to attend a Birds session an opportunity to spend some time there before joining us at 5:30pm.

The session is listed in the NECC online program planner – it can be found and added to your program plan by scrolling to the section labeled “Category and Subcategory” and selecting “Meeting/Focused Gathering” from the pull-down menu.

Colleagues noted the following topics of interest:

  • SMARTBoards and other interactive white boards
  • Podcasting, videocasting
  • blogs and wikis
  • laptops vs. tablets
  • stationary labs vs. mobile labs
  • one to one computing

In addition, we are pleased to present the published version of the White Paper: Jewish Learning in the Digital Age, which was discussed at last year’s meeting.

The session will be co-moderated by Caren Levine, jlearn2.0 and etheoreal; and Sara Seligson, BJE of Greater New York. Many thanks to NECC for providing this venue!
