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 list an array of quiz or text creation web tools.
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: All the quiz and text creation web tools contained on the lists below can be used in both a physical and virtual Judaic Studies classroom.
What is a Quiz or Test Web Tool?
Online quiz or test tools enable you, your teachers and your students to create multiple choice, matching, short answer, and other question formats for students to assess their own abilities to master the information or for you to see what students have learned and what needs to be reviewed and taught in a different way.
Below you will find several lists of quiz and test creation web tools:
