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 photo editing tool, Freeonlinephotoeditor.com, can be
used to promote instruction and to mentor 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 Freeonlinephotoeditor.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.
