Demonstration of a video slideshare I made showing how My.Brainshark can be used for Judaic instruction, the mentoring or teacher training of pre-service and in-service Judaic educators

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 continue our discussion on how  students in a Judaic Studies blended learning classroom can use My.Brainshark to enhance learning. 

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 Ipad as well.

Note: Although My.Brainshark 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: My.Brainshark can also be used in a face to face classroom without adding the online component.

What is My.Brainshark?

My.Brainshark is a web-based multi-media presentation tool that integrates photos and images and audio into a video powerpoint or slideshare presentation.

Where is  My.Brainshark  located on the web?

How can you place the pictures that others have uploaded onto My.Brainshark onto your My.Brainshark  account?

To place other people's pictures on your My.Brainshark account you will need their permission. The easiest way to gain permission to add the pictures of others is to learn if their photos have a Creative Commons License. 

Click here and watch a demonstration of  a My.Brainshark video slideshare I made that can be used for Judaic instruction or the mentoring/training of pre-service and in-service Judaic educators.

On the next post we will share a new web-based multi-media tool, Empressor.
