A colleague recently shared a free website which instantly creates puzzles in various levels of difficulty and shapes.

ELi,
I just read about your Chumash lesson on Bamidbar.
I work with 6th grade students in religious school after they leave dayschool or on Sunday morning. My goal is B'rayshit and Shemot.
What internet instructions can i give them regarding leaving UR and going to Canaan. Where can they find internet information about the route, the vegetation.... I think there is a potential lesson based on your lesson that i could adapt.
please offer suggestions.
FYI=I have created a KIDBLOG page for them and they do use their cell phones to evaluate the lesson and offer comments and reflections ..some we place on the blog others are just to me. I've asked them to blog about :hoew do you stand up for your belief in an invisible "Power" when everyone believes in visible idols? and if you were the invisible Power, what kind of a person would you want to lead your people and humankind to Tikkun Olam and Menschleikeit. These are not exact words but they did seem to respond positively and reflectively... Baruch Hashem!!!
I look for suggestions to maek this tech year better.
