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 discuss how
the remote control screen sharing web tool, Logmein.com, can be used to promote instruction, including Judaic teaching, in the blended
learning classroom.
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 Logmein.com 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: Logmein.com can be used in a face to face and virtual classroom.
What is Logmein.com?
Logmein.com is a remote
control screen sharing web tool. It can be used to access your computer from another computer in any location that has internet access.
Note: With Logmein.com one can permit others
to control your computer screen with your approval.
Where is Logmein.com located on the internet?

- Learn about a student's performance, homework or classwork
- Discover how to participate in the school's program and activities
To tutor a student or
other member of the school community
