Over the last six months, BabagaNewz.com posted a weekly technology idea to use in Jewish education classrooms. BabagaNewz.com's "Technology Tuesdays" highlighted some of the best online tools and content gems for use in classrooms. In some cases, specific examples of classroom applications were given for the technology tools as used by "tech savvy" teachers. These examples can be used as they were presented, or educators can use the tool for whatever content their class is currently exploring. Using a new technology can sometimes be intimidating, but these short pieces provide useful tips to help integrate cutting edge technology in the Jewish education classroom.
Many of these very useful tips illustrate good didactic use of rich exciting free online web 2.0 applications such as:
- Wordle Word Clouds
- MindMeister Mind Maps
- Wikispaces Wiki
- Twitter Microblogging
- Shelfari Virtual Bookshelves
- Glogster Online Posters
