Abstract
ABSTRACT The use of technology in part-time Jewish schools during the pandemic and beyond has, with few exceptions, been limited to Zoom, a communications platform that works best for frontal teaching and small group discussion. This study focuses on two Jewish educators whose Technological Pedagogic Content Knowledge enables them to deploy a variety of online tools that promote student-centered learning. The teaching exemplars we highlight show what is possible when educators go beyond Zoom, utilizing sophisticated software to engage students in the interpretation of a Biblical text and lively, interactive tefillah.
