Learning at Martin J. Gottlieb Day School
I prepared the following video for the parents and the school community about 21st Century Learning at the Martin J. Gottlieb Day School.
Students and teachers at the Martin J. Gottlieb Day School are learning 21st Century skills, such as collaborating, communicating, creating and connecting. The technology is merely the tool to prepare for the present and the future. Blogs, wikis, podcasts, video conferencing and Google apps are just tools that engage and motivate the learners. They allow us to participate in projects around the world. We are life long learners who explore, evaluate and are empowered by thinking critically. We extend our learning through technology tools and do not make learning of the technology the focus. As a Jewish Day School, MJGDS learns from, with and through a worldwide Jewish Community. MJGDS’ students are Jewish ambassadors in the digital and real world.

Great video Sylvia! I looks like you and the kids did a lot of great learning!
Wow! It is incredible to see a glimpse of a school that is really using the Web 2.0 technology that many schools have not yet embraced. It appears that the students are truly engaged, and are excited about their learning. This school seems committed to using technology to complete tasks that were impossible ten years ago, and is teaching the students the skills that they need to function in the modern workplace. I would be interested to hear statistics of where these students go to college, GPA’s, job placement success, etc.
