About Me
I passionately teach k-4 computers in a small dayschool in Chicago. I love integrating Web2.0 in meaningful ways. I've used blogs, wikis, Voicethread, Animoto, Photopeach, and love to try out new applications.

    Hi Faith,

    With your work in Technology Integration, I recommend you take a look at Wiziq's virtual classroom and authorstream's power point presentation platform. Both are web based platforms, have a bunch of features and free basic service. Here’s a public class recording you might find of interest.

    Hi Faith,
    Nice to hear from you. As you probably remember my wife Leah - Linda is from Chicago.
    As for wikispaces. I am a total ignoramus about macs.
    As for PC's with Windows make sure the Windows is Hebrew enabled. Follow instructions on one of the following sites:
    http://www.jtsa.edu/Documents/pagedocs/instructtech/hebrew_howto.pdf
    or
    http://www.petri.co.il/install_hebrew_on_windows_xp.htm
    Then when you edit the wikispace page, make sure you ar in Hebrew mode (Alt+Shift) and write.
    In order to have the writing appear Righ to Left, you must add above and below the Hebrew writing the following tags on the wikipage.

    [[rt]]

    מה שבאמצע יוצמד לימין.
    What is written between these tags will be right aligned.

    [[rtl]]

    If you need any more help write me at reuw@nevnet (dot) etzion (dot) k12 (dot) il
    or skype me at reuven100.

    Akiva & his family are fine B"H.
    Kol Tuv,
    Reuven
