I was recently presented with the following question: What would you recommend as the ideal roll out plan for iPads for students and implementation planning for a school?After googling iPads in the classroom and reading from a number of different sites (http://www.edutopia.org/blog/ipad-teaching-learning-apps-ben-johnson?page=1, …See More

I have to say that I do agree that there are beneficial uses to podcasting.For example, if you are a teacher who focuses on reading skills, it may be easier to keep up with all of your students by having them record themselves and you listen to it out of class. Because you will never get anything done if you try to listen to everyone every day.Also, they help with differentiation. The teacher can make different podcasts for different students depending on their levels and needs. What I do not…See More
Marie Hamaoui Restler commented on Eytan London's blog post Twitter- not for me"To add to my previous post - My comments were addressing use of Twitter in the classroom with students. After viewing other posts, however, I would like to clarify that what happens in the classroom stays in the classroom~ in some ways. …"
Meir Wexler commented on Eytan London's blog post Twitter- not for me"Eytan,
It seems your blog post has really engaged educators in thinking through the goals and effectiveness of Twitter and technology in education. I also like how you clarified your active use of technology in your classes. Because the main focus…"
Dov Hochbaum commented on Eytan London's blog post Twitter- not for me"Hi Eytan,
I saw your post and wanted to respond. I feel your tension about using technology in the Judaic Studies classroom. I do think that the various technologies speak to the students on their level and it is what they live and breathe. On the…"
Marie Hamaoui Restler commented on Eytan London's blog post Twitter- not for me"I agree with Eytan in regard to turning off and tuning out at times. At the risk of aging myself, when beepers first hit the scene the ability to "get" me at anytime and anywhere was unnerving and did take away from down time. With…"
Eliezer Jones commented on Eytan London's blog post In class blogging- Waste of Time?"Integrating technology is and must always be about enhancing learning and meeting our educational goals. When it does not accomplish that it must not be used. However, there is a need to address 21st century skills whether in general or Judaic…"
John Morse commented on Eytan London's blog post Twitter- not for me"I would agree with Eytan, we are at critical mass as to technology in the classroom...and working in a school that does not allow cell phones to be out in the classroom because no, we do not trust them and with reason...I think it is a good…"
Daniel Shor commented on Eytan London's blog post In class blogging- Waste of Time?"Do you not encourage your students to participate actively in class (a public forum)? It is the same thing with blogs. And just as in class, your students can come to you privately when class is over, they can e-mail you if they need to…"
Daniel Shor commented on Eytan London's blog post Twitter- not for me"Please remember that the use of Twitter in this way would be by design not happenstance. I would agree that if students randomly took their phones out and started tweeting (even if it were about the lecture) that it would be…"
Aaron Ross commented on Eytan London's blog post Twitter- not for me"For an interesting use of twitter in the classroom, see here: http://youtu.be/6WPVWDkF7U8. Granted it is in college, but I think it is easily adaptable.
Eytan, your last comment reveals that you do not totally trust your students once…"
Eytan London commented on Eytan London's blog post Twitter- not for me"Mr/Rabbi Shor,
In response to your use of Twitter in a lecture. I personally would find it rather rude if I looked up and saw a whole room of people on their phones. They could be tweeting, but they also could be checking how many points Jeremy Lin…"

And I quote "60% of students who use social networking talk about education topics online"- Really?!
Posted on June 11, 2012 at 2:27pm 0 Comments 0 Likes
In the how-to for educators guide to Web 2.0, by Solomon and Schrum, they make one very interesting point on page 85 that I would like to address.
The point is based on a study that reports that almost "60% of students who use social networking talk about education topics online" I hate to be overly pessimistic but I find this very hard to believe and would love to know the details of how this data was obtained. Are we truly to believe that all of this time kids spend on facebook and…
Continue Dropbox as a productivity tool

I know that the textbook definition of a productivity tool is a tool which mirrors programs on your computer and is free, I feel that dropbox may be worth discussing. For those that are not familiar, it is basically a way in which you can store all of your different files on a secure website. Besides the fact that you can access all of your files wherever you may be, it also allows for collaboration and sharing files with whomever you choose to invite. And whenever someone updates a…
