jlearn2.0

Our friend, Reuven Werber recently started an after school club with his students. The club is focusing on developing web 2.0 skills for collaborative expression. Read more about it in English here and check out their wiki in Hebrew here. Looking forward to following this project!

Check out TeacherTube, a new site that provides a safe, free venue for teachers and their students to post and access education-related videos. TeacherTube is growing its catalogue of videos and it is interesting to see the different types of resources that are available. The site is not affiliated with YouTube.

Imagine an online platform dedicated to video channels by and for students and educators engaged in Jewish learning.

Middle school and high school students around the world are invited to take part in the Jewish Agency’s annual Tu B’Shvat videoconference. The program will include a Tu B’Shvat seder, school to school presentations, and tree plantings in Ein Harod in the Gilboa Region, an area that suffered the loss of entire forests in the recent war.

For more information on registration, fees, technical requirements, and video samples of previous events, see the Jewish Agency’s videoconferencing website or email Alain Attar.

The Jewish Agency offers a number of other materials and activities for Tu B’Shvat on their site. Resources are available in English, French, German, Hebrew, Spanish, and Russian.
