Teaching with Tablets - James Bird - Bog - Sage Publications Ltd - Plusbog.dk

Teaching with Tablets - James Bird - Bog - Sage Publications Ltd - Plusbog.dk

The presence of handheld technologies in the classroom isn′t enough - you need to know how to use them to enhance teaching and transform learning. As more and more primary schools acquire devices such as iPads and tablets, it is becoming clear that adding them as a classroom resource is not enough. Teachers and trainees need strategies to integrate these into existing learning contexts in a meaningful way. Without this, these fantastic resources lose their value. This book helps teachers to make the most of these devices in the primary classroom. It offers guidance on: - - how to use tablets to devise meaningful learning activities - - embed them in genuine curriculum contexts, drawing upon case studies from existing practice - It is written for non-specialists and explains technical terms in an accessible, practical way. Each c hapter begins with a case study contributed by a teacher using tablets in schools. Real life examples and comments like this give the text a truly practical focus. The book′s Pinterest board includes the apps mentioned in the book as well as a handy infographic for a snapshot guide on starting off your tablet teaching journey. A note from the authors The use of technology in schools continues to evolve rapidly as new devices and tools become available, and the adoption of mobile devices such as iPads and tablets has been a particularly exciting development in recent years. The benefits offered by these technologies, such as their portability, connectivity, accessibility and range of media, present new challenges and opportunities for teaching and learning. As the take up of tablets gathers pace in our schools there is a need for advice on the best approaches and apps to help achieve successful learning outcomes. Teachers need to find meaningful ways to integrate the devices into their own practice and to evaluate which of the many thousands of educational apps might be appropriate for their pupils. This book considers how iPads and tablets can be used to enhance teaching and learning in primary schools. It is especially relevant in the light of the computing curriculum, which puts a new emphasis on children as makers and creators of digital content. Across other curriculum subjects too, the introduction of mobile devices that can be quickly and reliably accessed has precipitated a shift in practice. For example, they have enabled teachers and children to spontaneously pursue lines of inquiry, to connect, collaborate and publish in many different ways, and to use their digital skills to enhance their exploration of the physical world outside the classroom. With these opportunities in mind, we offer anecdotes from the classroom and examples of how tablets might be embedded within current pedagogy and practice as a natural learning tool. Each chapter combines a practical case study with discussion of related pedagogy, and recommends apps to support a personalised, inclusive and active approach to teaching and learning.

Breaking the Tablets - David Weiss Halivni - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

Breaking the Tablets - David Weiss Halivni - Bog - Bloomsbury Publishing Plc - Plusbog.dk

How is it possible, after the Shoah, to declare one''s faith in the God of Israel? Breaking the Tablets is David Weiss Halivni''s eloquent and insightful response to this question. Halivni, Auschwitz survivor and one of the greatest Talmudic scholars of the past century, declares that at this time of God''s near absence, Jews can still observe the words of the Torah and pray for God to come near again. Jews must continue to study the classic texts of rabbinic Judaism but now with greater humility, recognizing that even the greatest religious leaders and thinkers interpret these texts only as mere people, prone to human error. Breaking the Tablets is important reading for anyone who feels burdened by the question of how it is possible to believe in God and practice their religion.

Smashing the Tablets - - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Smashing the Tablets - - Bog - State University of New York Press - Plusbog.dk

Provocative new readings of biblical texts by major contemporary Jewish writers. Lot''s daughters rebel against their predatory father, Jacob wrestles an angel in a queer underground nightclub, Job arrives in the form of an avaricious former sorority girl- Smashing the Tablets presents a collection of provocative new readings of biblical texts by major contemporary Jewish writers. Behind this groundbreaking collection is the idea that foundational texts must be read anew or they become tools of conservatism and reaction. To achieve fresh readings, it is often necessary to step outside traditional modes of analysis, whether academic or theological, and to violate the conventions of storytelling and interpretation. By challenging dominant readings and identifying underrepresented characters and moments that have been "written out" of the biblical conversation, the essays, stories, and poems in this collection rupture assumptions, unsettle the reader, and give voice to the voiceless. The Bible in this collection is bent, recontextualized, queered, inverted, and smashed to pieces. Smashing the Tablets is one of the most significant Jewish literary collections in decades, a groundbreaking must-read for Jews and others interested not only in the Bible but also in identity, faith, and power.

Stone Tablets - Wojciech Zukrowski - Bog - Paul Dry Books, Inc - Plusbog.dk

Stone Tablets - Wojciech Zukrowski - Bog - Paul Dry Books, Inc - Plusbog.dk

An influential Polish classic celebrates 50 yearsand its first English edition. As Stone Tablets opens, Istvan Terey, a poet and World War II veteran, is serving as cultural attaché with the Hungarian embassy in Delhi just a few months before his country is torn apart by the Hungarian Uprising of 1956. He is personable and popular with Indians and Europeans, communists and capitalists, but his outspoken criticisms of corruption in the Hungarian government and the embassy threaten to undermine his career. Meanwhile, he has fallen in love with Margit, an Australian ophthalmologist working in India, who is still living through a tragedy of her own: her fiancé died under torture during World War II. Draining heat, brilliant color, intense smells, and intrusive animals enliven this sweeping Cold War romance. Based on the authors own experience as a Polish diplomat in India in the late 1950s, Stone Tablets was one of the first literary works in Poland to offer scathing criticisms of Stalinism, and was censored when it was first submitted for publication. Stephanie Krafts translation opens this book for the first time to English-speaking readers. A high-paced, passionate narrative in which every detail is vital.Leslaw Bartelski Zukrowski is a brilliantly talented observer of life, a visionary skilled at combining the concrete with the magical, lyricism with realisma distinguished stylist.Leszek Zulinski"

Curse Tablets and Binding Spells from the Ancient World - - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

Curse Tablets and Binding Spells from the Ancient World - - Bog - Oxford University Press Inc - Plusbog.dk

In the ancient Graeco-Roman world, it was a common practice to curse an enemy or rival by writing an incantation on a tablet and dedicating it to a god or spirit. More than a thousand such texts, written between the fifth century BC and the fifth century AD, have been discovered in places ranging from North Africa to England, and from Syria to Spain. Until now, however, there has been no English translation of these tablets and indeed the texts themselves have remained virtually unknown. This volume makes these fascinating texts available for the first time. A substantial introduction supplies the full cultural, social, and historical context for the texts. The selected translations, arranged thematically, are fully annotated and accompanied by extensive commentary. Reflecting a wide range of social occasions, including lawsuits, love affairs, business competition, and horse-races, the tablets open a window into the hearts and minds of ordinary people, shedding light on a dimension of classical society in which historians today are increasingly interested.

Tablets Shattered - Joshua Leifer - Bog - Penguin Putnam Inc - Plusbog.dk

Tablets Shattered - Joshua Leifer - Bog - Penguin Putnam Inc - Plusbog.dk

Tablets Shattered: The End of an American Jewish Century and the Future of Jewish Life is Joshua Leifer''s lively and deeply personal history of the fractured American Jewish present. Formed in the middle decades of the twentieth century, all the settled-upon pillars of American Jewish self-definition (Americanism, Zionism, and liberalism) have begun to falter in the first decades of the twenty-first. The binding trauma of Holocaust memory grows ever-more attenuated; soon there will no longer be any living survivors. After two millennia of Jewish life defined by diasporic existence, the majority of the world''s Jews will live in a sovereign Jewish state by 2050. Against the backdrop of national political crises, resurgent global antisemitism, and ongoing wars in the Middle East, Leifer provides an illuminating and meticulously reported map of contemporary Jewish life as well as a sober conjecture about its future. Leifer begins with the history of Jewish immigrants in America, starting with the story of his own ancestry, the arrival from a Belarusian shtetl of his great-grandmother, Bessie, and following each subsequent generation as it conformed to the prevailing codes of American Jewish life. He then goes on to report on the state of today''s burning Jewish issues, building on interviews with those living daily across the varied faultlines of the Jewish conversation. We meet Millennial Jewish racial justice organisers trying to build new communities grounded in social action; Orthodox political activists navigating the tensions between pragmatism and ideology; young liberal rabbis looking to ''queer'' the Torah through exegesis; Haredi men learning full-time at the world''s largest yeshiva; progressive anti-Zionists attempting to separate Judaism from nationalism; and right-wing Israeli public intellectuals beginning to imagine a future without American Jews. While often coming to radically different conclusions, all are asking the same fundamental question: what will it mean to be Jewish in a seemingly unprecedented time? As it traverses the contemporary Jewish landscape through uncommon personal familiarity with the widest range of Jewish experience, Tablets Shattered also charts the universal quest to understand the increasingly divisive world we live in and build enduring communities amid historical and political rupture.

Fractured Tablets - Mira Balberg - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

Fractured Tablets - Mira Balberg - Bog - University of California Press - Plusbog.dk

A free ebook version of this title is available through Luminos, University of California Press’s Open Access publishing program. Visit www.luminosoa.org to learn more. This book examines the significant role that memory failures play in early rabbinic literature. The rabbis who shaped Judaism in late antiquity envisioned the commitment to the Torah and its commandments as governing every aspect of a person’s life. Their vision of a Jewish subject who must keep constant mental track of multiple obligations and teachings led them to be preoccupied with forgetting: forgetting tasks, forgetting facts, forgetting texts, and—most broadly—forgetting the Torah altogether. In Fractured Tablets, Mira Balberg examines the ways in which the early rabbis approached and delineated the possibility of forgetfulness in practice and study and the solutions and responses they conjured for forgetfulness, along with the ways in which they used human fallibility to bolster their vision of Jewish observance and their own roles as religious experts. In the process, Balberg shows that the rabbis’ intense preoccupation with the prospect of forgetfulness was a meaningful ideological choice, with profound implications for our understanding of Judaism in late antiquity.

Broken Tablets - - Bog - Jewish Lights Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Let the Ten Commandments command your imagination … and enrich your life. When the Holy One gave the Torah, no bird chirped, no fowl flew, no ox lowed, not one angel stirred its wing or sang its song. The sea did not roar, creatures did not speak—the whole world was hushed into breathless silence; it was then that the voice went forth: "I am the Lord your God…."—Exodus Rabba 29:9 Even people who claim not to be "religious" will generally maintain that they do observe the Ten Commandments. Why is it that these ten statements, thousands of years old, continue to have such a special hold on us? Here, twelve outstanding spiritual leaders from across the spectrum of Jewish thought bring us to the life and soul of the Ten Commandments'' unusual power. In voices that are personal and diverse, they help us take a closer look at the ten utterances that not only touch every aspect of our lives, but also present each of us with a profound challenge. Contributors: Rabbi Eugene B. Borowitz • Leonard Fein • Rabbi Nancy Fuchs-Kreimer • Rabbi Laura Geller • Rabbi Lawrence A. Hoffman • Dr. Menachem Kellner • Rabbi Peter S. Knobel • Rabbi Lawrence Kushner • Rabbi Richard N. Levy • Rabbi Rachel S. Mikva • Rabbi Zalman M. Schachter-Shalomi • Rabbi Levi Weiman-Kelman • Rabbi Arnold Jacob Wolf

Sylloge of Defixiones from the Roman West - Celia Natalias - Bog - BAR Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Sylloge of Defixiones from the Roman West - Celia Natalias - Bog - BAR Publishing - Plusbog.dk

Defixiones, also known as curse tablets, are one of the most revealing sources for ancient magico-religious practices. Born of rancour, anger, desire, love, envy, or just out of desperation, curse tablets were a strategy for obtaining ''individual justice'' for those who could not accomplish their purposes through the available means, due to a lack of knowledge, power or legal/economical resources. In this volume, the reader will find a detailed catalogue that discusses 535 curse tablets written in Latin and a wide range of local languages. The catalogue is preceded by a full introduction in which the main features of these inscriptions are discussed together with leading scholarship. Such a detailed yet global study of these texts sheds light on various aspects of curses that vary on a regional basis, thus showing how this magico-religious technology was not only adopted but also adapted in new and creative ways by the local populations throughout the Roman West.
