Technology Today


As the second semester moves forward, the students of Rosenblatt High School have become increasingly comfortable with the technology integrated into their education.  They are quick on their Chromebooks, adept at Google Classroom, and creative in their use of digital projects.
At the same time, the teachers are quickly becoming experts in their usage of communication tools and digital resources.  On Thursday, February 23, DKJA engaged in Digital Learning Day, a day of learning through technology.  The teachers engaged their students through dynamic lessons across all subject areas; lessons included learning through the online education resource Kahn Academy, classroom discussions entirely through shared Google Docs, game challenges using Quizlet and Kahoot!, video creation, and webquests to explore the students’ b’nai mitzvah parshas.  
Digital Learning Day was a valuable experience for everyone involved, but the technological learning doesn’t stop there.  Several classes make use of technological skills to better interact with the students, and some of them, like electives “Digital Graphic Design” and “Electrical Engineering and Microprocessors,” focus on it.  Most recently, the Digital Graphic Design students used Photoshop to redesign their school athletic uniforms, and currently they are in the process of creating animated GIFs, which are short stop-motion films combining photography with digital art.
