The yearly cycle of holidays and their rituals are very familiar to those who work with young children. Often, however, there is a struggle to find "new" activities for the children to do year after year. In this course, we will go back to the "roots" of these holidays by exploring foundations to the agricultural cycle and/or relationships to particular forms and habits of seasonal plants. By tapping into the very rhythm of the earth's seasons, we can discover with the children an infinite variety of dynamic and authentic concepts that inform our holidays. In addition, we will consider how the contemplation of green growing things can be used to support the children's developing concepts about Division: College Division Department: Jewish Education

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 (This is a doctoral level course) Division: College Division Department: Jewish Education
