Behrman House will be at the annual National Association of Temple Educators (NATE) Conference in Phoenix, AZ, from December 23-26. Join us for a breakout session on using the Online Learning Center for project based learning and don't forget to schedule time for a curriculum and online learning consultation.
Breakout Session: 5 Ways to Use the New Online Learning Center to Bring PBL to Your Classroom
Presented by Terry Kaye
Project-based learning is a dynamic technique for learning in the context of real life: it is hands-on, student-driven, and involves projects designed around real-world activities. Students build life skills while researching and tackling issues that are meaningful to them, resulting in learning that can be deeper and more lasting.
On Wednesday morning, December 26, NATE members attending the Behrman House breakout session will experience a live demo showing why the new Online Learning Center—a learning management system with Jewish content is IDEAL for PBL. It is the perfect...
...tool for teachers to organize, schedule, and administer student projects,
...resource bank for students to do research into their projects,
...private, secure online space for students to share, discuss, and comment on classmates’ work,
...method for teachers to monitor projects and assess progress.
We hope you’ll join us to experience the OLC live!
