What has the last decade looked like for digital learning in the Jewish education space? How has it been impacted by the pandemic? What are the possibilities for innovation in education or will radical affordances get co-opted by the existing system? Flipped learning. Gaming. Microcredentials. A.I. We addressed the broad picture in dialogue, in this new episode from The Jewish Learning Project’s Adapting Podcast. I had a lot of fun chatting with David and I hope you enjoy listening to it.
Below is the promotional material they developed for the episode:
It is both an exciting and perhaps terrifying era for Jewish educators when digital technology is empowering learners in their own learning. Rather than being seen as a fountain of knowledge that learners turn to for information, 21st century educators must adopt a different set of skills – including flipping their classrooms, utilizing principles of gaming, and enabling people to learn in ways that work best for them. On the latest episode of Adapting, David Bryfman discusses with Barry Joseph how digital technology can help model what these cutting-edge, engaging methods look like.
With 25+ years of experience in digital learning and design, Barry brings a fresh perspective to the field and an optimistic future, as he discusses the value of implementing digital technology both inside and outside the classroom, and why we should not be afraid to explore it with our learners.
