Looking for Beta Testers...

I am in the process of developing an iBook Torah SheBaal Peh textbook and am looking for volunteers who will beta-test the book in their classrooms.

Rabbi Mordechai Smolarcik commented on Richard D Solomon, PhD's blog post Grockit.com, a web toll that enables the user to pause a video and pose questions to students and others

iPad Gemorah iBook Update

Posted on December 23, 2012 at 8:00pm 0 Comments

Since the beginning of the school year we have covered 2 major sugyot (HaBah BeMachteret and Tadir u"SheAynoh Tadir) and have also used iPad iBooks as a format for covering the dinim of the Yamim Noraiim, Sukkot and Chanukah.
