Jewish Education 40208A - Using Technology to Engage,Inspire and Teach Jewish Studies

Institution:

Gratz College

Subject:

Description:

Mark Prensky has called today's children "Digital Natives" and adults "Digital Immigrants." Many argue that today's children are "wired" differently than previous generations. If today's youth are indeed different, they learn differently and should have access to innovative educational experiences. Instead of "powering down" when they enter the classroom, students should be able to "power up."This course, within the context of Jewish studies, will examine the many ways in which today's technology can promote the highest quality Jewish learning experiences. Students will have the opportunity to develop curriculum units in different aspects of Jewish studies that incorporate web based learning even when technology tools are absent from the classroom.
