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 Your Moments, an
IOS (Apple) photo collage app, can be used to promote Judaic instruction and to
mentor/train 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 Your Moments
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: Your Moments can be
used in a face to face and virtual classroom.
