Jewish Ed Blog


Very thought provoking article.  If you like what you read below, click on the link to read the full article.

"It is already clear that technology is revolutionizing where, when, and how Jewish learning and teaching take place. Technology expands the boundaries of time and space, collapsing barriers that keep us from connecting to worlds and people beyond our immediate physical presence. Technology brings into play multiple senses and new creative skills. It encourages, invites, and facilitates new habits of communication. These capabilities demand that we re-imagine what education is and how it is conducted. The challenge for Jewish education, especially in traditional institutions like schools, is whether they can re-envision what they do to take advantage of what new technologies offer, while avoiding the potential “dark sides” of this powerful force."
