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 the remote control screen
sharing web tool, Team Viewer , can be used for Judaic
instruction and the mentoring/teaching of pre-service and in-service Jewish
educators.
Assumption: The teacher or mentor teacher has an 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 Team Viewer 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: Team Viewer can be used in a face to face and virtual classroom.
What is Team Viewer?
Team Viewer is a remote
control screen sharing web tool.
Note: With Team Viewer one can permit others
to control your computer screen with your approval.
Where is Team Viewer located on the internet?
