The Technological Aspect

Thus far, Chumash class has been a big high of my school day for many reasons. I think that Rabbi Lubetski has the perfect ratio of the student learning by himself or with a partner, and Rabbi Lubetski teaching us the material himself. In today's class I learned many new things not only about the Sefer Shemos, but also on a nifty, little program called Google Docs. I worked on themes with my partner, Jake Baum, who knows an awful lot about Shemos that I didn't know. I feel that this is another positive for learning with a partner because we each taught each other a thing or two about the Parsha. Now I would like to address the matter of technology that has been talked a lot about around the class. Like my fellow classmate, Dylan Cooper, I do believe that the technological aspect of this course is a great way to learn how to utilize incredible learning programs such as Google Docs. This aspect will not only supply us with the requisite skills to be able to make use of these great technological achievements in the future, but it will also help us to be engaged in the learning as many of my classmates tend to doze off during class. I think it was the correct move on Rabbi Lubetski's part to incorporate these great learning enhancers into his curriculum.
