Introduction to Blip.tv as a video hosting website that enables users to post their videos on the internet



When mentoring our pre-service and in-service teachers we need to describe and model both research-based and clinically tested best practices, and demonstrate how these best practices can be applied in the real (i.e. physical) and virtual (i.e. online) classroom for both teaching and teacher training. The combination of face to face instruction in a physical setting and online learning is called blended learning. In this section of the blog we will describe how the internet can serve as a supplemental resource for instruction and the mentoring of pre-service and in-service Jewish educators. In this post we will begin our discussion on how  students in a Judaic Studies blended learning classroom can use Blip.tv as a website for video hosting and sharing.




Assumption: The teacher or mentor teacher has a interactive white board (i.e. SMART Board, Promethean, etc.), a Tablet PC (also called a Slate or Blade), a computer presenter or computer with internet access attached to an LCD projector in the classroom. It would be ideal if students or mentees had access to their own laptop computers or Ipads. Given parental and school approval, and the development of specific guidelines, smartphones can be used to enhance instruction as well.

Note: Although Blip.tv can be applied in the Judaic Studies blended learning classroom, it can be also be used for training pre-service and in-service Jewish educators for professional or staff development. It is our hope that Jewish educators around the globe will form an online community of practice, a CoP, a group of people who share an interest, a craft, and/or a profession, to enhance the delivery of instruction and training of Jewish educators. For example, here is a CoP you might want to join. 

Note: Blip.tv can be used in a physical and virtual classroom.

            What is Jewish Integrated Experiential Education?


            What is Jewish Integrated Experiential Education?

            Jewish Integrated Experiential Education is the general term that describes the incorporation of the strengths of formal and informal Jewish education in any Jewish instructional venue (i.e. day school, complementary school, higher educational institution, camp, youth center, museum excursion, trip to Israel, etc.). For this construct to be implemented it requires three additional components, the curriculum specialist or designer, the staff developer or teacher trainer, and the application of computer hardware (e.g. smart boards, lap tops, tablets and smart phones) and web-based software (i.e. email, Google Docs, Skype, audio files, video applications, mobile apps, etc.).

                  List of additional time line web-based tools




                  When mentoring our pre-service and in-service teachers we need to describe and model both research-based and clinically tested best practices, and demonstrate how these best practices can be applied in the real (i.e. physical) and virtual (i.e. online) classroom for both teaching and teacher training. The combination of face to face instruction in a physical setting and online learning is called blended learning. In this section of the blog we will describe how the internet can serve as a supplemental resource for instruction and the mentoring of pre-service and in-service Jewish educators. In this post we will share a listing of additional time line web-based tools.

                  See the definition of a time line and time lining below.


                  Assumption: The teacher or mentor teacher has a interactive white board (i.e. SMART Board, Promethean, etc.), a Tablet PC (also called a Slate or Blade), a computer presenter or computer with internet access attached to an LCD projector in the classroom. It would be ideal if students or mentees had access to their own laptop computers or Ipads as well.

                  Note: Although Timeglider can be applied in the Judaic Studies blended learning classroom, it can be also be used for training pre-service and in-service Jewish educators for professional or staff development. It is our hope that Jewish educators around the globe will form an online community of practice, a CoP, a group of people who share an interest, a craft, and/or a profession, to enhance the delivery of instruction and training of Jewish educators. For example, here is a CoP you might want to join. 

                  Note: Timeglider can be used in a physical and virtual Judaic Studies classroom.

                  What is a time line and what is time lining?

                  A time line is a linear representation of the unfolding of events over a period of time.

                  Accordingly, timelining is the process to depict the unfolding of events over a time period.


                  What is Timeglider?

                  Timeglider is a web-based time lining tool.

                  On the next post we will begin a new topic, video hosting websites that enable users to post their videos on the internet. The first video hosting website we will discuss is YouTube.
