At our last professional development, focused on technology,
Rabbi Tavi Koslowe shared some of his favorite Web 2.0 tools. You can click on this link to his Gemara Blog
to see the full list with links;
Out of the ones he shared, I really love zamzar which is a
file conversion service. I am always so
annoyed when a student sends me a file that cannot be opened on my computer. Often when students work with each other this
is a huge point of conflict. I am so
excited to share this and use this tool to end that frustration.
Another one that he shared was dippity. This tool allows you to create
timelines. All year I was struggling to
put up a timeline in class that showed both the Jewish history and secular
history that we were learning in ancient times.
Students really want to see how the timelines interconnect and where the
events fall in relationship with each other.
I am so excited to use this tool next year to either create for my
students or have my students help create that allows them to see the timeline
of history.
