ACRE Blog

I found this 5-minute video ( http://omgzam.com/technology/video-an-insight-to-the-internet-of-things) thought-provoking.   It does an interesting job of explaining what is currently happening when the digital world meets the physical and intellectual and the emerging trend of Internet of Things.  What struck me most when thinking about the world of CRE is the pyramid of DIKW--Data, Information, Knowledge and Wisdom and how we will have to find innovative ways of using technology to help rabbis create wisdom.

 Any thoughts or comments about the relevance of this video to CRE?

JESNA recently published the fourth volume in its series on Making Jewish Education Work.  This edition focuses on Professional Development for Educators.  Perhaps you, like me, when reading this report (found here) will ask yourself how the findings in this report relate to rabbis and CRE.  You might even want to go back and read our latest research piece on CRE Evaluations (found here) to undergo a detailed analysis.

 For now, I would like to quote several relevant sections from the Making Jewish Education Work report for your review and thinking.
